Re-indexing my music

Just wondering how long everyone elses SD takes to reindex? (obviously this will vary down to amount of mp3s you have but mine takes hours!)

Also, do you have to reindex every time you add extra files? Im using a file sync program outside of SD so everytime i connect my flash drive they are copied to the carpc.

You can turn automatic sync on/off in the SD preferences. With this set, it will automagically index any new files.

Indexing takes longer if it needs to copy music files from the Import location to the Music location (specified in the Media Paths app).

I have all my music in M:\MP3, and the Music location is set to the same. If I want to add new music to the car PC, I can drop it into My Music, and it will then be copied to M:\MP3, although I don't do this. I just put my music there and let it index.

Thanks, il give that a try, should help reduce the time i waste indexing.

Interesting, ive noticed it re index's much faster on my pc if i run SD in windowd mode and not full screen? Strange... but might help someone else
