I´m near, what will happen, if I reach the limit?
What limit are you talking about?
You have to donate all the excess albums to regulars on the What's Rocking you tonight! [2024-08] thread.
Honestly, I don’t think anything will happen; I thought this limit was for TIDAL. There are mentions of Roon server running with 500k tracks or more. You may need more memory and a higher spec processor in the future.
And there it seems to be 10,000 (not 100,000) favorites of any kind. (10k favorited tracks, albums, or artists) IIRC.
Please sir, can I have some more
i have seen anywhere, roon may work with max. 1.000.000 files(titles)
If there is a limit, just remember your music hoarding friends as @Martin_Webster said.
I am only at 10% of the 1 million number so I can afford to take a few for you
I seem to remember at least 1 user with 1.4 million track’s. He had maybe 64GB of RAM and some performance issues with Roon and ended up giving up on Roon.
Wow, that’s a lot of tunes.
Hurry up and add the last 76,124+1 to get to 1,000,001 so we can see what happens.
Maybe you’ll go to plaid??
Nothing apart from your head will simply implode
I admit that I misread the number as 100k but there is no fixed limit. The performance requirements keep rising with the track number (but it depends on other things too) and you will notice when it gets slow. Then faster hardware and more RAM will help.
There was also one guy with 2 million tracks on a crappy laptop who seemed to be waiting for months while Roon was ingesting files That won’t work, but as the specs say (and there are quite a few users with 500k and more):
I use Tidal
110 million tracks at last count, plenty of space
I’m 60, on average, I’ve listen to 2 LPs (15 tracks each LP) every day since I was 10 years old
I’ve never listened to any track twice
I’m almost up to 550k tracks
wow.
I find that extremely sad that don’t listen to any track more than twice.
I’m betting that we will experience the same denouement as in Arthur C. Clarke’s “The Nine Billion Names of God”
That was Uwe it wasn’t a crappy laptop it was a decent one but obviously not a desktop cpu so struggled like the Nucleus Titan or any of other based on a nuc or small factor pc would. He went back to Foobar.
In the context of what he was trying to do, most laptops are crappy. It was just an average decent one, not one of the super high performance ones that do exist. And he was trying 8 times as many tracks as the limit where the recommendations say to get a very high performance desktop machine.
I always liked Uwe, he was a really nice guy and he was happy back on Foobar. He messaged a number of us to thank us for making him so welcome and interacting with him as a non native English speaker. It was nice touch
I never realised that he was using a laptop for his massive Library though
If the stars in your universe start to count down to zero, that typically indicates Roon has lost connection to a watched folder. In Settings, check your Storage tab.
