Well so far so good, artists and titles seem to holding up and problem hasn't recurred for a reasonable time since making the following changes: Restrict total files to 4GB - just means multiple keys Update Gracenote library No idea for now which is actually necessary, but thanks and appreciate the ...

Thanks - the last attempt I kept under a 8GB limit mooted in the post above, which worked out about 1200 songs IIRC. To no avail...

I did the reset and it fixed the issue thanks for help. At first I thought it hadnt, but it takes a little time to rebuild the index I guess, there being a couple of thousand songs. And yes bluetooth pairing info gets reset too, so need to repair all devices afterwards. If it happens again I shall g...

thx Thermion
