If there is a way to compile the database on my computer it would make using the tangara much easier and convenient. I have already stripped the opus files of their image tag data.
You might also want to follow this thread over on the code repo re: big libraries -
https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang...issues/413
In general, the firmware in its current state doesn't really handle large libraries well (or at all really) and I don't think I've seen one person yet report a successful scan of a big library without either bootloops and/or the scan ending prematurely.
I have an iPod classic 5th gen with Rockbox installed that is able to initialize my database of approximately 32k files (mostly MP3, with some FLACs and M4As thrown in) in about 15-20 minutes. I'm hoping either through firmware updates or through a desktop app the Tangara can get close to this someday.
