CF has trouble with large quantities of music
Whenever I browse to a folder with a bunch of files, CF freezes for up to 10 minutes...
If I try to search through all my music for a song, that can easily take 5-10 minutes.
If I try to add my entire collection, as to randomly play all my music, CF seems to completely lock up. I've waited over 20 minutes, and eventually just given up.
This seems a bit long to me, and I think it has something to do with CF not actually scanning/creating it's own database for my music... so it gets overwhelmed. What I don't get, is I can browse through Windows, and right-click, enque to Winamp, and doing my entire collection only takes a minute, and doesn't lock up my PC. Winamp also has my entire collection loaded up, and I can search, getting results instantly, nothing locking up, no weird problems...
Anyone have any tips? I didn't see anything that let me scan in my music, other than I added the music folders in the settings menu.
For reference, I have 350GB of music on my local hard drive. The whole point of building a carPC was so that I could search quickly and easily through all my music, rather than using a terrible interface like a headunit or iPod. If searches are going to take longer than 10 seconds, that would really be unacceptable. I am using the trial version, on a E7400 2.8GHz w/2GB RAM. It's definitely not a hardware limitation. I am also using Vista64 Ultimate.
Thanks guys.
