Duet slow when viewing through Music Folder on Controller ??

[hebsbebs]

Hi, when I go to Music Libary - Albums/Artist etc. my Duet controller searches fast.

But when I go through Music Folder on the controller, it searches VERY slow - why is that ???

Because when you go via Music Library you are accessing an indexed database of the tag information that has been optimised for speedy access, whereas when you use Music Folder you are reliant on the operating system (e.g XP) searching the disk and folder structure itself with no indexing.
