Oh yes, I experienced this Problem as well. 10k tracks
may still work,
but at a certain point amarok(as most audioplayers) just get unusable.
I know that amarok supports different database backends, but I honestly
just don't know how to administrate such a beast.
mpd is the only one I know that can handle huge collections out of the
box and creates the library a lot faster than amarok(with standard db)
how big is the collection youre working with.
and what is the index-rescan time?
i cant help but think the real solution is something like BeFS..
its too bad we're still stuck in 1970 on that tip..though i should check Haiku and
Reiser4 to see if either of them are close to being usable
last i tried the POSIX extended attrs stuff on reiser it didnt work. and the querying is
virtually nonexistent..
