Database - Does it work as badly as I think?
sadffffff:
I have the same problem with a 4gig 1st gen ipod nano, using a current build.
i didn't actually know it was a problem, i just assumed it was supposed to be this way. and i usually use the directory structure to pick my music
Zsan:
I'd like to hear other users about this. Did they try selecting a song from the 'track' list with at least 1000 songs in there? It should take about five seconds, then.

Hi, I'm using a Sansa e280. Running the "stats" plugin tells me:
--- Code: ---Files: 2171
Music: 1545
Dirs: 219
--- End code ---
When I go to "Database"->"Tracks" there is no delay at all. When I select a track from this list, so that a playlists is generated, there is a ~4 second delay while it says "Searching..." and counts down the track count (i.e. it's exactly as you said).
It's pretty bearable delay. There are no notable delays while browsing the Database itself. Everytime you select a subcategory in the Database the "Searching..." window pops up for a split second. That's a bit annoying. Not because of the delay (which is virtually nonexistent) but rather because the flashing popup is somehow irritating.
So, I definitely cannot reproduce the slow browsing problem you are having. Note that the Sansa is a flash based player though and does not have a harddrive.

I've experienced this for a long time. I think its happening because you have shuffle on and it is creating a new playlist. Its a pretty annoying thing, in the car sometimes I will pick a new song put the ipod down and it doesnt change songs for 15-20 seconds (Counting down from 862). If I am right about the playlist thing, is it possible to switch the routines so the song starts playing then the playlist creation is done afterwards?

Good idea. Perhaps a feature request is in order?
