I know this is going to sound a little silly but,

What is the best media player for working with wireless networked music? I guess I need something where I can can set up my own playlists. The problem is I have too many files. 45,558 files totalling 177GB of hard drive space. If a program goes to scan the drive it eventually locks up to what I presume the playlist getting too big.

All the files are under a Music folder and then subfolderd buy artist, albums and then songs.

I've been able to add a single artist folders to programs like pocket music and the such but I'd like to be able to shuffle thru a lof of different artists without slowdowns or lockups.

I can add all the songs to my playlist on my laptop with WMP and have it shuffle no problem. I wished there was a way to do the same on the PocketPC but it looks like it limited because of the small ram od the device.

Whats the largest playlist people have used sucsessfully?

Don't Panic!

Try JonMisurdas playlist editor for PPC. It works with WMP10 for PPC but I don't stream from home so I'm not sure if it will help.

i'd also like to know this. i'm getting a router in a few weeks and i'd also like to shuffle my music. i only have 90gb though, not 177 lol.

i have the same problem. i have a little over 200GB worth of albums, movies, and music videos. whenever load a large playlist, wmp freezes. i just use gsplayer. but TCPMP may be better, and it'll play wma files, too!

You are better off using a media/jukebox server like Orb, Jinzora or Nero MediaHome as they are far more suitable for large music/video collections.

Funny I was just looking at Orb the last night for the video feature to stream thru the house and totally overlooked the audio capability. I think I'll give that a try when I get a chance to reformat my laptop this weekend.

Just out of curiosity, how much did you spend on those 177G music?
Dude, you must be a hardcore music fan!

Ahaha let's not get into cost here, I'm sure it will involve not-so-legal terms and services, which is not allowed here.

45000 rips + encode, figure, at today's speeds, 15 seconds per, that's about 200 hours of machine time. Loading CDs, that'll take about as much. But then that's nearly 4000 CDs. I know one guy that has about that many, maybe even more.

Anyway, this

http://iplay.40th.com/

does up to 40,000 files, no problem, and has (the up-to-40k) for a couple of years now. It may take close to a minute, but all 40,000 will show up on the PPC if you want all 40,000 to show up(at once). I've done it. The demo... I'm not sure if it does.
