[QUOTE="lowcrust, post: 207747, member: 28394"] I need some tips on how to make my media portal music database faster and easier to browse.

I like Media Portal a lot, but here also I seem to have a hard time getting friends with the music engine. My Music takes anything from 30 seconds to a few minutes to start up.
