Hi all,
I spent a few minutes googling and came across this thread on the forum: “2 TB Brennan says "Memory Full" only used under 300 GB of space” – on 10 Jul 2020, 12:24:46 Paul wrote:
Hi Scott,
Martin has just sent me this -
In fact the latest limits are
15,000 albums
6,000 artists
170,000 tracks
But it is possible to fill memory before those limits are reached – if track names are long for example.
It will scan up to the album limit so deleting albums wont show until you get under that limit
NB Backup will backup everything on the disk – even if you cant see it

Is the limit 11000 or 15000 and is it valid for flac as well as mp3 files?
Thanks,

I've been going through my CDs in alphabetical order and am towards the end of the Ms so am assuming that I'm over half way (based on how much space the CDs used to take up on the shelves - now they're in paper envelope sleeves ready for filing after being ripped ;-))
Based on the info I got from Peter and Paul, I'm going to carry on ripping until I get to ca. 14,000 albums while keeping an eye on the no. of tracks and if it looks like there'll be a problem running up against a limit then I'll have to think about switching to mp3 or consolidating some albums to keep under the limit - worst case, I'll delete some albums that won't get listened to so often.
Thanks for your help,
Iain
Hi Paul,
For sure 😉 - and multiple copies, some offsite, just to be safe! I've enjoyed ripping the CDs for the most part - but it is possible to have too much of a good thing!
Best regards,
Iain
