Having not solved my initial problem of getting my large library to be initialised (as described above in this thread), I left the Tangara alone for some time.
Today, I did a firmware update (v1.3.0) and had it initialise my library again. Unfortunately, the Tangara behaves identical to what I described above. After a few minutes, the initialising process seems to be done (the DB logo disappears) and it still recognises only a tiny fraction of the artist folders, within those folders recognised, it will only recognise one or two albums, and only a few songs of an album. Sometimes, it names the tunes but give a length of 0:00 seconds.
From previous comments, I learned that the Tangara might have problems if files like album covers are also in the library. I have checked some artist folders of whom I only have one album to make sure there were only mp3 files in the folder. But Tangara would still not see the artist folder after initialising again.
Is my library somehow corrupted? My Fiio player uses the exact same library and it works fine; I actually copied the data from the Fiio player's SD card to my MacBook and then onto the newly purchased Tangara SD card. (A long, slow, overnight operation, by the way..)
Am I using an SD card which doesn't gel with the Tangara? (I didn't see a database on this here.)
I don't really know what to try next in order to make this work. Any ideas anyone?
Cheers!
