These limits enable a more effcient memory representation for the in-memory structures, which is important when running on low-end devices with limited amounts of memory available. The limits are compiled into the MinimServer code and can't be increased at runtime.

Have you seen a MinimServer message about the 65000 limit being exceeded? I am asking this because MinimServer doesn't count any folders that don't contain music files, so you might be OK even if there are more than 65000 subfolders on disk.

Thanks for the speedy response. I've not had any error messages as I've not yet unleashed MinimServer on the whole collection. I'm still trying to get my head around it and customise it with a few test files, because of my expectation that tinkering with it will be slow and painful once it's carrying such a load.

According to Foobar, I have around 82,000 albums and 88,000 music-containing subfolders, so a separate instance that includes compilations, hi-def and multichannel will act as a quick fix unless the folder limit is increased.

The ability to run separate instances is a great feature and means my wife will be able to enjoy her music without having to confront the nonsense that is my own collection.
