So far to my knowledge only Winamp is able to open a dir with a lot of mp3's and subdirs in a blink of an eye and have all the functionality, including search/jump available. Others (foobar, XMMS) fail badly. I killed the foobar2000 task after waiting for several minutes.
- gcp 10y agoI killed the foobar2000 task after waiting for several minutes. You should've gotten a progress dialog, very briefly, because the process is quite fast. Did that step just take a while due to a slow disk, or did it hang? foobar2000 does scan the metadata and tags for all files on adding, so "search" and "jump" will work correctly when it's done on metadata that is not reflected in the file name or path. Winamp does not do this - it scans metadata and tags only on playback. There's a few more differences like foobar2000 being able to scan inside archives. Winamp can't do this. So the difference you saw is likely exactly because "search" and "jump" functionality is not actually guaranteed to work correctly in Winamp if you do what you say.
