hi!

I disable my pagefile in my system, however, when I try to add a pretty large list of music, aboiut 3-5k songs streetdeck just dissapears.. no error message, no nothing.. just.. *poof*

is there a way to come around this poroblem?

also as SD loads the playlists, it tend to "pause" for a while, as when the list is loading

I have over 55,000 songs in my car and I do not have this problem.

Many other users have found that certain file names cause problems.

In order to trouble shoot, I recomend that you try adding only sections of the playlist at a time and see if it hangs on a certain section, then narrow it down till you determine if it's hanging on the same files.

SD will pause for a while when loading larger play lists, it does this no matter what music player you use, winamp, WMP, iTunes, Foobar, etc. That doesn't sound like a bug.

In fact, this issue doesn't appear to be a bug, but rather a support issue. Thread moved accordingly. If we determine this is infact a bug, then I will gladly move it back.

I'm thinking that the lack of a paging file is the culprit here.

If you've got a huge playlist and run out of physical RAM to be able to process the file, then something's going to crash.

very good point Darque.

Since this is such a stripped version of SD, it's going to be very difficult for us to trouble shoot.

true, I cannot use the paging file since my system is running under HORM, only think I can do I think is to install a larger memory module, and get a bigger Compact flash card, however I am uncertain that if I am able to get an 8gb compact flash with 300x speed tho
