Hard to see how USB/NAS drives are a special case really. You still end up with the situation where you can't rely on the library being up-to-date. My library is almost that big and (let's face it) that's kind of extreme. I'm thinking maybe install a small player for command-line use and leave foobar for jukebox/file management functions.
I know what you are saying, but that is why I want the option to turn off scanning with big exclamation that I am doing that at my responsibility. Foobar2000 comes without any warranties whatsoever, I think, so I don't understand why that option can't be included, as I suggested in other post in this thread.
