I'm considering moving to an N900 at some point... but if it has this same problem I might give it a miss.
Does anyone have one with a significant amount of music loaded on? If so does it cope OK?

I read somewhere that they tested it with libraries of up to 64 GB, in anticipation of the larger 32 GB microsds that are going to come out.

Does manageable but certainly not impressive. Takes a bit of time to load everything and when the screen is off it doesn't even up date page to new song. So when you switch on screen it shows the song that was playing before the screen went off and then switches to the current song. Pretty annoying. In fact most of the things to do with the music player are annoying.

I used Media Monkey to sync 14 GB worth of MP3 files to my N900 form my old Itunes library.
The player works pretty good, my main problem is Media Monkey not keeping all the albums together because of it's translation of the ID3 tags.
I can't say if it's the player or the Media Monkey sync, but my N900's album view is missing alot of album art, but when you play the individual tracks, the art appears just fine.
The player itself is responsive, and offer a very quick search just by typing anywhere in the app to bring up results just like searching contacts from the desktop.
Shuffle works probably just as fast as an iPod, even with 14GB of music to shuffle through.
Playlist creation isn't really intuitive, but it can be done on the fly in the application without having to create them on a desktop and sync them over.

I've got 20Go music on my N900 and no issue with the media player
All my artist/album/covers/year are embedded in the mp3 files
Only thing: when in Artists view, it takes maybe 2 seconds to "create" the list, and after that the scroll is perfectly smooth. But you start at the end of the list, which is weird, maybe there is a bug signalled for that
Edit: the bug is here, vote for it

I've got 2500 songs on my N900. It works really well ONCE tracker has indexed it all. This can however take quite some time.
Therefore, I suggest you copy your initial large music load to the device in the evening, then get a night's sleep while it indexes and startup the Music Player in the morning (perhaps it only needs 30 minutes or an hour, but indexing it all, extracting album art etc. etc. is quite some work for this small wonderdevice).

Thanks for this info everyone - my N900 arrives tomorrow and I've already got a 16gb micro sd for it in anticipation of switching over from my PMP and should probably have checked it was a good idea first!
I'm considering moving to an N900 at some point... but if it has this same problem I might give it a miss.
