This thread is more of a status check on the GBPVR community in terms of the use of a music plugin for a very large music collection/library (30+ gigs). I use iTunes to control categorizing my music; artist\album\track. Current music plugins take forever to parse my collection. How do each of you (who have large collections) get around this? Which plugins do you use and/or how do you configure them?

I'd prefer not mucking with my current directory structure of music.

For most of the plugins you shold have too many problems cos they read the directory structure. My one is DB based and so for the first time will take quite a long time as it reads all the tracks.

But it can be set up to only scan the library once a week and to only add new files (adding new files only really works if it is a dedicated gbpvr machine and gbpvr is running all the time).

I've got closer to 200g of music and it did take a LONG time to fill up the DB first time round. After that however ML2 is quick, well featured and flawless (touch wood Smile) and used daily as my juke box.
Better still it's actively being developed and looked after which is great if you do find a bug or have a sensible feature request.
Thumbs up and respect to psycik

Reminds me of a joke from about 10-12 yrs back.
One guy to another:"I discovered the internet yesterday, it really is very handy". The other guy:"Yes I know, I downloaded it last weekend".

Just pulling your leg... I ripped all our CDs a couple of years ago, about 500 of them.

I did them all at 256kbps as I thought if I am going to do it, might as well do it properly and have them comparable to the original. Soon eats space though.

i see a lot of us have converted to digital music.

I also have a rather large collection. Right now it's holding at 223gigs, mostly ripped at 320kbps but there are some that are a bit less that I've er borrowed from friends. At one time i had 4 400 disk carrousel's going, It's so much easier to manage with them being on HDD, a lot easier to play and see what you're playing using GBpvr and the media MVP's. I use the MVP to feed to the whole house music system and use the TV's around the house as the user interface. It's worked really well. Music is what drew me to GBpvr in the first place and it's still the main reason i use it, not that i don't record my wife's soaps and a few movies and what not here and there as well.

Insidious program this GBpvr is, before i knew what happened it became absolutely essential and irreplaceable.

I took all of your suggestions and booted up ML2. Good stuff. I do agree that this is the top of the breed.

Thanks for the suggestion...
