On: Efficient music players remain elusive

Means I have 20+ GB of music. Metadata can't be that big. :O

If you find a DB that can cope with 20GB without sweating much, give me a shout! ;) You might become rich if you make one, too!

The actual amount of data in that 20GB that needs to be handled by the player for that playlist is probably on the order of a few bytes bytes per MB. If we round up to 100 bytes per MB, you're still only looking at a few MB of metadata.

Oh, this one will be easy! But I'm warning you now, you'll need 24GB of RAM to run it ;-)
