I could have sworn the original versions of the SLIMP3 server didn't employ a database. Later versions implemented a database but I could have sworn you could disable it. I was looking for a way to disable in these nightly builds and I'm not finding it.
Why would I want to? Well, I keep things pretty organized and don't have a ton of stuff in any folder, and performance would be fine I think if the server had to scan files in a folder when I opened it.
But I do tend to move things around from time to time, and adding or removing or moving folders seems to really through the server for a loop. If I add a folder I can experience a quite long delay before anything is displayed, when that new folder is "found" during me navigating around in my music.
My music collection is rather small and runs on an SSD, so I'd just as soon (if possible) browse the folders w/o a database. I never use the search feature, either.
Can it be done?
