I'm just posting the very end of the file as the forum won't let me post a message larger than 25k characters...

That's okay, I should have asked you to only post the last couple dozen lines.

Nothing jumps out at me... I'm going to have to look at this one for a bit.  It may be a memory issue, I've never seen anyone with over 30,000 songs in their database.  (It must take forever to index!)

It only took a long time on the initial index (that is why I split my library into Letter folders)....

I'm not sure it is a memory issue, as this issue only occurs on my newer computer (3800+ AMD, 1024MB, Vista).  The computer that I use for my jukebox, has not had any problems.  It is a Pentium III, maybe 128MB of memory and has a 3GB HD in it (i.e. XP takes up half the HD). 

Whatever the problem is that occurs, it does something to corrupt a file, because that folder will never index again.

Chris:
Can you zip up the contents of your DATA folder and E-mail it to celamantia@gmail.com? 

Thanks!

P.S.  See why I wanted to have more than 4 CD's per page?

Chris:
Yow.

Every single one of those titles requires a memory allocation on startup for the database record.  The database is handled with a little library I wrote ages ago; I never envisioned it having to handle so much data.  I'm willing to bet that's where the error is.

But why would I only be getting the error on the newer more powerful computer?  I haven't had any problems at all with my PIII (other than it taking about 24 hours to index from scratch).
