This is insane. As and avid supporter of WMP and MCE,  it is hard to believe that the issues with large databases will go unaddressed until the end of 2006. It sounds like there are some technical limitations that Longhorn will supposedly address and resolve but there must be a short term fix.  I am embarrassed to show people the MY MUSIC section in MCE. It can take anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes to pull up a simple song. (Sound Familiar?) More and more this is pushing me to ditch the MCE and look for another platform that will support its user base. While I applaud the MCE group for wanting to build a community around its platform, the lack of support and frankly the usability issues must be addressed. The whole purpose of a community is to listen to their comments and feedback and not give them the cookie cutter response of “We will address those issues in the next release of our software” This is bad news for M$ and the MCE community.  &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=43236" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
