hmm, I have 4-5 gigs of mp3s sorted in folders, none deeper than 3 levels. Even after the initial scan for media and covers, it takes and avg of 1-2 mins to complete the scan and launch. BTW, did anyone ever help you in finding out how to cap a few frames into a video to make a cover? Most of my videos have a black icon, I guess because the first frame is black.
