Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 Hi, i have a really large mp3 collection (~50 Gigabyte) mounted via nfs. Hayes is the perfect solution to handling these files, but when doing a random play on the whole collection CPU load goes to 100% and all noatun windows freeze. I think the problem is that in random mode noatun starts to scan all available files, which naturally takes a very long time for such a large collection. (i killed noatun after waiting for about 10 minutes...) The network speed should not be the problem, the server is connected via switched fullduplex 100MBit. So i am not sure if theres a simple solution. Either changing the "randomize" algorithm or maybe as a interim solution starting another thread that collects the info to at least prevent the GUI from freezing? Maybe its just a bad idea after all to start a random play on 50 Gigs of data ;-) but i just wanted to inform you there are potential problems regarding the randm play... Anyway, thanks for that great product! Beeing a longtime xmms-user i actually only started using Noatun when i recognized the impressive Hayes playlist. That really made my day ;-) thanks Michael

Positively ancient version. The shuffle system's been rewritten since then. :-)
Okay, then its time to update ;-) Again, thanks for your work...
