On my internal HD, I have 2 main partitions (I have more, but they're not important in this demonstration): one for Window, one for my documents.
I have 3 external hardrives. One (320gb) HD stays home, another one (80gb) stays with me -- they both contain the same files, but I do keep some more crap on the 320 gb : movies, audio files I don't care losing). Once every 2 weeks, I exchange the smaller 80gb portable drive with another identical one kept at my friends' place for extra security. So... TOtal : 3 external HDs, but only two that I have with me every day.-Armando (April 24, 2007, 11:12 AM)

god, I cannot recognize a single artist in your screenshot, superboyACYeah, I'm pretty old school. I'm mostly into jazz, but have nostalgic ties to good country, classic rock, and a pop tune occasionally.
I do use foobar as my library, tagger, transcoder, and ripper smileyJust about all my mp3 files have album art embedded in the tags (I don't do the whole keep the jpg file in the folder business). I don't know if I've ever noticed the memory usage being high. Sometimes it goes high, but I don't why, and it's only temporary. Then again, I don't have my whole library loaded into it, usually just a couple albums or maybe 100 songs or so.
I think one explanation for the high memory usage is that I may still have some album art in tags; but I think I read in one of the threads that Lashiec posted that these are completely ignored.
In fact my current library (a small one on a 2.5 HD!) is about 1242 entries (most of it cue sheets) and foo is using 45mb of RAM + 37 of virtual memory.I have about 700 songs loaded right now, it's 15 mB RAM. Cue sheets?! What are you playing, lossless files? Or do you keep your albums as one file and navigate the tracks through the cue? That's pretty hard core.
I wonder why that is...
superboyac - what is it that you especially like about archivarius? I'm just curious - I've tried Filehand, YDS, X1 and have recently gone back to Copernic. X1 was the best of the bunch in terms of speed and features but had all sorts of "issues", most irritatingly with Outlook (putting a notebook into standby or hibernate with Outlook minimized to the system tray - take that, Raymond ChenDarwin, like I said before, I'm not much of a desktop search user, so I can't discuss the details like I normally do with other software. From what little experience I had, it seemed like Archivarius was just really lightweight, it's interface was simple, yet nothing really lacking. It was fast (faster than x1 from my experience). The only other one I've tried is x1, and I felt like archivarius was a little less intrusive as far as monitoring. I don't know, like I said, I barely have any experience with these kinds of softwares. I know a big issue with these are how compatible it is with your specific email program, etc., but I didn't even consider that. i was only concerned about text documents, word documents, and the like.- caused errors in both X1 and Outlook on resuming my system). Copernic is OK, but it takes quite a while to display previews of the files that it finds, which is very annoying. Perhaps I should take archivarius for a test drive...

My brief impressions of TC, and some of the odd feature requests from ex-TC users about what they'd like the mouse buttons to do in Opus, is that moving from it to any other program would be a bit weird in a few ways. Or maybe that's just a configuration thing (i.e. it allows you to make it weird but it also has the option of working the way most other Windows apps do) in which case that's fair enough.
Right, I've gotta get out of the house to go buy the new NIИ album that came out today (tomorrow in the USA) for £12. Despite buying his last five albums and turning a few dozen people on to his music, I don't get a free copy.

that would be me. I think that I'm the main one making the posts about what the button clicking should be like on the mouse. I did a particularly detailed post on the DOpus forum just recently. In my defense, it's not that I want the clicking to be like TC because I'm used to that. On the contrary, I'm used to DOpus and haven't used TC for 2 years now. But the mouse navigation on TC allowed faster navigation with fewer mistakes (as far as selecting things and drag & dropping). It's very subtle.
