I've tried this a couple of times. I have some CDs with lots of drum loops - about 800-1000/CD. I then have 20 or so Acid loop CDs, each with 200-400 loops. All this stuff is on one of my 1394 drives. When I tell Ardour to import the first CD's directory it works, and usually works for the second CD also. At this point I can still expand and shrink the directory listings in what I guess is the interface to the sound file data base, but it's has gotten very slow. When I add in a 3rd CD with probably 300-400 loops what happens is even the visual interface isn't working. I see the name of the first CD imported, along with a '-' in a box, and maybe one downward line, likeit was trying to draw the hierarchy, but it never prints anything else, and the '-' won't contract to show me the second CD anymore. I could send you some screen shots if it would help. I do wonder if this isn't some basic database problem. Has anyone else tried to put possibly 5-10 thousand files into their sfbd? I suspect that this is an opportunity to use MySql waiting to happen. > > > someday have some of this retiming capability in Ardour.

I haven't found a user list to subscribe to. The program does have a forum where I posted my compile error. I'll continue to try and build it if I get some help. Take care, Mark
