How often should the DB update? - leifspacefriend - 2025-02-04
Hello!
How often should the database be updating, and is my experience normal? I am noticing that sometimes when I try and play a song I get the DB symbol at the top, and then the sound quality goes through the floor. It sounds stuttering and totally unplayable. So I wait for a bit until the DB symbol goes away and then when I try to play the same song it sounds normal. I've experimented a bit and found that this happens most times when I try to play an album, and it can happen to the same album more than once. My library is about 30GB with all .FLAC files, and I am using a very large Sandisk card that's 1.5TB because I am planning on eventually putting all my audiobooks on it which takes up a lot of storage. I had a bit of a problem at first getting my Tangara to recognize the SD card, but as soon as I updated to firmware v1.2.0 those problems went away.
I'm not sure if this warrants a Github issue, as I don't know how to translate my user experience into a technical one, but I figured I would start here and see if anyone is facing the same problem.
Thanks!

In my experience, it updated the database every time I started the Tangara, which is unusable with a large library. I turned off auto-update and only run a manual update when I've changed music. I'd highly recommend doing that with the size of your library.

Sounds good to me, I'll definitely look into that. The stuttering during database indexing is expected behavior then?

Yep, at least for now - here are some issues to follow about stuttering:
