Music library growing too large...

I've been using Quod Libet as my music player for a while now, and it is pretty much exactly what I want in a music player.  However, as my music collection grows, it has been slowing down lately.  I have over 8000 songs now, around 40 gigs, and Quod Libet will slow down, peg cpu usage, and crash quite often now.  What other options do I have?  I know Amarok can use a real database backend that should scale way beyond what I currently have, but prefer GTK apps and the Quod Libet interface.  Can MPD handle a library this large?  Any MPD clients that are Quod Libet like?  Anyway to make Quod Libet scale better?
Thanks

That's right, I nabbed the nick Arch way back in 2004 on Audioscrobbler and Neowin.net   Arch Linux and I were meant to be together.
And to derail this thread a little bit: does anybody know of a linux music player that doesn't use a database?  Just adds files from your directories ala Foobar?
The Spice Girls is very underestimated. And Mel C is a hell of a girl. So beautiful.. I wish.. oh well. Maybe you want to take a look at mocp or cmus, if you dont want to use mpd.

  • My music library is too large for my iPad.  If I use the cloud, will I still be able to access audio files or does it all end up having to be saved on my iPad?  In other words...am I limited to the space on my iPad memory?

    Do I still need to have enough space on my iPad for my whole music library?  Seems like I must be missing something...why would I want to be limited by the memory space on my mobile device?  Is there another way to share audio files between my computer and my iPad other than iTunes?

    It depends on whihch IPad you purchased. The 16GB, the 32GB, or the 64GB for storage.

    - If the Gmail accounts are IMAP one then if the library is erased and then you use the account old email will be redownload
    - Easing the library on the MacBook does not effect what is on the iMac. On the other hand if you deleted the messages in the Mail app on the MacBook then they will deleted from all devices.

  • TIme Machine  backup grows too large during backup process

    I have been using Time Machine without a problem for several months, backing up my imac - 500GB drive with 350g used. Recently TM failed because the backups had finally filled the external drive - 500GB USB. Since I did not need the older backups, I reformatted the external drive to start from scratch. Now TM tries to do an initial full backup but the size keeps growing as it is backing up, eventually becoming too large for the external drive and TM fails. It will report, say, 200G to back up, then it reaches that point and the "Backing up XXXGB of XXXGB" just keeps getting larger. I have tried excluding more than 100GB of files to get the backup set very small, but it still grows during the backup process. I have deleted plist and cache files as some discussions have suggested, but the same issue occurs each time. What is going on???

    Here is the log for the last failure. As you see it indicates there is enough room 345g needed, 464G available, but then it fails.

I don't know what "Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD" implies, maybe this is a clue?
    No. It's sort of a warning, indicating that TM isn't sure what's changed on your internal HD since the previous backup, usually as a result of an abnormal shutdown. But since you just erased your TM disk, it's perfectly normal.

    This is a completely normal start to a backup. Just after that last message is when the actual copying begins. Apparently whatever's happening, no messages are being sent to the log, so this may not be an easy one to figure out.
    First, let's use Disk Utility to confirm that the disk really is set up properly.
    First, select the second line for your internal HD (usually named "Macintosh HD"). Towards the bottom, the Format should be +Mac OS Extended (Journaled),+ although it might be +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled).+
    Next, select the line for your TM partition (indented, with the name). Towards the bottom, the Format must be the same as your internal HD (above). If it isn't, you must erase the partition (not necessarily the whole drive) and reformat it with Disk Utility.
    Sometimes when TM formats a drive for you automatically, it sets it to +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled).+ Do not use this unless your internal HD is also case-sensitive. All drives being backed-up, and your TM volume, should be the same. TM may do backups this way, but you could be in for major problems trying to restore to a mis-matched drive.
    Last, select the top line of the TM drive (with the make and size). Towards the bottom, the *Partition Map Scheme* should be GUID (preferred) or +Apple Partition Map+ for an Intel Mac. It must be +Apple Partition Map+ for a PPC Mac.
    If any of this is incorrect, that's likely the source of the problem. See item #5 of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum for instructions, then try again.
    If it's all correct, perhaps there's something else in your logs.
    Use the Console app (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    When it starts, click +Show Log List+ in the toolbar, then navigate in the sidebar that opens up to your system.log and select it. Navigate to the +Starting standard backup+ message that you noted above, then see what follows that might indicate some sort of error, failure, termination, exit, etc. (many of the messages there are info for developers, etc.). If in doubt post (a reasonable amount of) the log here.

  • SharePoint TempDB.mdf growing too large? I have to restart SQL Server all the time. Please help

    Hi there,
    On our DEV SharePoint farm > SQL server
    The tempdb.mdf size grows too quickly and too much. I am tired of increasing the space and cannot do that anymore.
    All the time I have to reboot the SQL server to get tempdb to normal size.
    The Live farm is okay (with similar data) so it must be something wrong with our
    DEV environment.
    Any idea how to fix this please?
    Thanks so much.

    How do you get the tempdb to 'normal size'? How large is large and how small is normal.
    Have you put the databases in simple recovery mode? It's normal for dev environments to not have the required transaction log backups to keep the ldf files in check. That won't affect the tempdb but if you've got bigger issues then that might be a symptom.
    Have you turned off autogrowth for the temp DB?

  • EM Application Log and Web Access Log growing too large on Redwood Server

    Hi,
    We have a storage space issue on our Redwood SAP CPS Orcale servers and have found that the two log files above are the main culprits for this. These files are continually updated and I need to know what these are and if they can be purged or reduced down in size.
    They have been in existence since the system has been installed and I have tried to access them but they are too large. I have also tried taking the cluster group offline to see if the file stops being updated but the file continues to be updated.
    Please could anyone shed any light on this and what can be done to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Jason

    Hi David,
    The file names are:
    em-application.log and web access.log

  • My Mail library is too large, what can I do? Multiple mac owner...

    Hi,
    I have an iMac and a brand new MacBookPro, which has a very small hd (128gb SSD). My Mail library is larger than 30gb! Now I want to slim it down but I'm afraid to make a mess...
    Given that:
    1) On my iMac I can keep the entire library, I have no archive problem due to the sets of very large disk I can count on
    3) Basically I want to erase the library ONLY on my MacBook in order to have more room on the 128GB internal HD which I need for my work on the go
    2) My mail accounts are connected to 3 gmail accounts...
    My doubts:
    1) I'm afraid that If I erase the library on my MacBook Pro, Mail begins automatically to download the erased mail messages from the gmail accounts.
    2) Does erasing the library on my MacBook Pro mean to erase also the one on my iMac? I don't think so...but I wanna keep myself on the safe side
    3) Is there any way to set a size limit to Mail library on my MacBookx
    Yes..it seems complex but I'm sure someone out there has all the answers I need!
    Ciao
    Nico

  • Automatic Deployment Rule for SCEP Definitions growing too large.

    See the deployment package for SCEP definition is now 256MB and growing.  How can we make sure it stays small?  The ADR creating the package is leaving 26 Definition in there right now.

    The method that Kevin suggests above is what is implemented as part of a default deployment template included with SP1. This limits the number of definitions in the update group to the latest eight (I think).
    As a supplemental note here, whenever an ADR runs and is configured to use an existing update group, it first wipes that update group.

  • RTP jitter buffer growing too large?

    Hi all I am experiencing a rather annoying problem when receiving RTP audio data and rendering it: It takes some time for the player to get created and realized, in the mean time RTP packets continued to arrive, causing them to be buffered. It appeared that the buffer grew until data is drained from it (by the player), so the longer it took the player to get created and realized the larger the buffer became, causing a massive delay which is annoying when a conversation is being carried out. I did set the buffer length (via the RTPManager's BufferControl) to 200ms but this does not seem to make any difference. I don't have direct proof that this is what actually happened under the hood but all evidence seemed to point to this unchecked growth of the jitter buffer. The faster the computer, the faster the player get realized and the smaller the delay.
    Does anyone else experience this phenomenon? Is there a fix?

    I don't know if your diagnosis is correct, for shure I have a lot of jitter between two PC using the same java app and playing a RTP broadcast audio.
    But I could not relate it with the speed of the computer, sometimes A plays before B, sometimes after. Problably it is the time to create objects that varies.
    Still looking for a solution....

  • Tablespace growing too large

    Good morning gurus,
    Sorry if I sound novice at some point .
    I have this table space vending of size 188,598.6MB.It keeps on growing.I have to give it extra space every week and all is consumed.It is a permanent table space with extent management local and segment space management auto.This table space is the backbone of the database which is 250G.We are currently running oracle 10.2.0.4 on windows.
    Please help
    Regards
    Deepika

    Hi..
    Please do mention the database version and the OS.
    You need to know what are the objects, object_types on such a big tablespace.Which schemas use it waht do they do.Do they do any kind of DIRECT Loading in the database.Are all the tables and the indexes on the same tablespace.What i feel is, you are having all the tables and the indexes on the same tablespace.I would recommend 2 things:--
    1. Do the data purging.Talk to the considered applications team,or who so ever is the concerned person, and the decide data retention period in the database and move the rest of the data to some other database as history.
    2. Keep different tablespaces for the tables and indexes.

  • ITunes music files are too large, how can I compress them?

    So yeah today was my first day using iTunes and buying some songs. I got 12 songs and it came out to 80.6MB, I really want to know if there is a converter in iTunes for this or if there is a trusted software I can use to convert them?

    I think you might be a little confused, html5 documents use the <video> tag to display videos online, .mp4 is one of the video types used by the <video> tag...
    HTML5 Video
    HTML video Tag
    Since not all browsers can see .mp4, you also need a .ogg or .webm video so those browsers have something to look at. That secondary source is added to the <video> tag in html5 pages so a browser can latch onto the first source it understands.
    To make your video smaller, you would need to reduce its actual pixel dimensions (if they're full screen HD videos, dropping them to 640x480 or similar will reduce the file size) or framerate.
    Here's a converter for .ogg format...

  • Content Database Growing too large

    We seem to be experiencing some slowness on our SharePoint farm and noticed that one of our databases (we have two) is now at 170 Gb. Best practice seems to be to keep the database from going over 100Gb.
    We have hundreds of Sites within one Database and need to spit these up to save space on our databases.
    So I  would like to create some new databases and move some of the sites from the old database over to the new databases.
    Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track here and if so how to safely move these sites to another Content Database?

    I would not recommend using RBS. Microsoft's RBS is really just meant to be able to exceed the 4GB/10GB MDF file size limit in SQL Express. RBS space /counts against/ database size, and backup/restore becomes a more complex task.

    Hi Naga,
    From the CLI, issue "show system internal flash" to see what directory is taking up the space.   Unfortunately, if it is /mnt/pss, then you really need to engage TAC to get on the switch and enable the internal access to the file system so it can be cleared up.
