Hello, on Windows 10, can i
Background: I play mainly from an "intelligent album" with many criteria, among them a criteria to play only sounds i haven't heard before. I have around 70.000 songs and for every database operation Nightingale is blocked for around 40 seconds. This means, whenever it changes to a new song it is blocked for 40 seconds and also when i edit metadata (which i do frequently). The music continues playing smoothly, but you cannot for instance stop this music or do anything else.
I just installed Nightingale on a brandnew fast desktop computer with conventional HDDs and it proved almost as slow as before on a 6 years old desktop computer (and on various other new laptops in between).
Now on that brandnew computer i have a partition G that's a SSD. I already uninstalled Nightingale from C and re-installed on the SSD partition G, hoping for more speed. But after re-installing, Nightingale seemed to keep it's old database and profile, because everything was there instantly - i had hoped to re-import everything and get a database on the software's drive, i.e. on G (the SSD). Nightingale doesn't seem much faster now that it is on the SSD drive, but the database still on C.
That's why i want to try having the database itself on the SSD.
I am not a geek, but am aware of a prefs.js and i see i can open+edit it with the Editor. I see these entries there:
user_pref("songbird.library.loader.0.databaseGUID", "main@library.songbirdnest.com");
user_pref("songbird.library.loader.0.databaseLocation", "C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Roaming\\Nightingale\\Profiles\\vtdvlnim.default\\db\\main@library.songbirdnest.com.db");
user_pref("songbird.library.loader.0.loadAtStartup", true);
I also see the database "main@library.songbirdnest.com" itself on the C drive, while the software is now on the G drive.
Again, i'll happily build up a completely new database and delete the old one, no problem. If you could tell me if/how i could have a database on drive G, that would be great.
Thanks!
- move the Nightingale Database to a different partition or better yet
- create a new database on the partition of my chosing (not C)?
