There is clearly a maximum library size.

Perhaps you should inform potential users that there is clearly a maximum size for the music collection.

I don't know exactly what that is, but my experience, with 912 albums, 11386 songs, is that that is too large. It took about 2½ hours to add them to the queue, and then the local display goes to an “Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this web page” error. The 'Reload' and 'Wait' buttons are inactive and the mouse stops working.

I have done a shutdown and reboot and the green RPi led is flashing as it did when I first added the 'Music Collection' to the queue, but nothing is working, so I'll wait another couple of hours to see if anything changes.

OK, when the green led stopped flashing - same 'Aw, Snap' error - 'Reload' took me back to Moode but was displaying a 'Failed to decode' and 'Failed 'to load' alert, then everything stopped again.

Also, while the local display is hung up, the web browser and ssh will not connect either.

Sorry, but moOde is clearly useless with a large music collection.
I will probably have to go back to using a fairly old Android tablet which despite some other irritations, hence trying moOde, handles the same music collection perfectly well.

That's not a large collection judging by the numbers reported by other users. I consider mine small, but it's already half the size of yours, and moOde handles it without working up a sweat.

The heart of moOde is the MPD (music player daemon). The combo live and/or die by the metadata in a library. You report all sorts of atypical symptoms which, among other things, suggest to me that you have problems with the metadata. I don't know of any tool which reliably detects bad metadata for all the file formats and encodings accepted by MPD as built for moOde.

Your best bet is to divide and conquer. Start with a bare moOde installation and make sure the radio stations and test track play. (As well, I usually add a few albums to the uSD card for testing purposes.)

Then try introducing your library in manageable tranches. Not knowing any details of your setup I can't suggest the easiest way to do that. If it's on a NAS, you could, for example, divide the library into multiple shares and mount and test them one at a time.

It's tedious, I know, but it's satisfying to end up with a music player and library which works reliably.

OTOH, you were free to come here and you're free to go.

Enjoy the music.

I understand you are trying to queue all your tracks, to then play them.
Apart from the fact that having a queue of 10K tracks is a bit useless, IMHO, there could be more factors affecting the 2.5 hours needed to queue them, first of all disc-speed, LAN-speed. But in the end I see a memory issue here... 11K tracks, with some metadata and coverart, resolve in the same amount of HTML elements for presenting you the queue visually; and browsers do a lot of magik behind the scenes...
Have you tried disabling the local display (just to check...) and trying to do the same via browser interface?

Good point, Al. I completely missed that he was trying to load everything into the queue.

Moode is far from useless - I’ve a collection with over 15k tracks and everything works swimmingly on a pi 3B+. Your use case is very strange - why are you adding over 10k tracks to the queue? Perhaps you could try asking a question, rather than making rather blunt assertions. I suspect you’ll get more help that way.

2866 albums and 31480 tracks, to be precise, on a PI4 with 2GB and superfast!
Butit is for me a wild guess why you want to add 11k tracks to the Q...???

Of course many users have big libraries of 30K, 50K tracks and no issues whatsoever. Thread closed for obvious reasons.

@duzeper your OP is basically a Troll post which violates the Forum rules.
