This explains why it is taking such a long time to scan. MininServer will scan all the files on the drive and will ignore everything that isn't a supported audio file. This won't consume any more memory, but it might take a long time to examine and skip over all the non-audio files.

You can specify up to 8 folder values for the contentDir property. For each contentDir folder value, everything underneath the folder will be scanned. Setting this property appropriately should allow you to limit your scanning to the files in your audio library.

With such a large library, you might come up against MinimServer's limit for the total number of folders containing audio files, plus any parent folders of these folders. This number is fixed at 65000 and can't be increased. You will get an error message if your library exceeds this limit.

Thanks for all your help so far

I'm sure you'll enjoy your Linn DS. I have been very pleased with mine.
