200+GB Users. What Hardware and OS?

2,812 artists

on one 500 GB external USB drive

Mac OS X 10.4.11
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4
1 GB RAM

works like a charm... Streams beautifully. Takes a few seconds to load the left panel on the initial load (maybe 5 to 8 seconds) but I agree with flacflac regarding folder organization and load times. Mine is Artist>Album>Song, so all my 2812 artists are visible on the left.

Disk is a 5x500 GB Windows software raid-5 array.

No speed issues at all, but I need to give subsonic 512 MB in the settings to make it able to run - if I don't do this the front page won't even load.

Also, my music is sorted by genre dirs first (genre -> artist -> album or genre -> a-z -> artist -> album) so I don't have thousands of files in the top listing itself. That may be a source of slowdown for some.

1,692 artists
2,601 albums
33,811 songs
832.98 GB (~ 12,939 hours)

Dual Quad-Core Xeon
20GB RAM
8 1TB SAS drives configured as RAID 10
VMware ESX 3.5 Host OS
Ubuntu 9.04 Guest OS (Subsonic is the only service running on the guest os)
15MB Fiber Connect (with bursts around 100MB)
The entire collection is FLAC.

Speed is great if config is changed to 512mb. I have all albums listed on the front page, no sub categories. It works great. It will load a little slow over a DSL line at times (or verizon EVDO) but otherwise it works great.

If there was CHAT feature I would be in heaven................ How about that beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I am *sure* that thread-starter jonathanroz is now totally relaxed about his 300 Dollar setup.

Not trying to upset you but: 8TB in RAID 10 and 20GB of RAM? Subsonic would run with 1/10th of that and FAST. How come you're running such a power-hungry system? Just curious, and of course envying that RAID.

im just waiting on my new cpu to come then my new server will be running...
raid here we come!

[Subsonic Streamer]

Well, mine is close to 1TB of music, close to quarter of million, I have 2x quad core xeon (total of 8-cores) with 4GB ECC Buffered memory with RAID setup running standard SATA.

I built this server just for web hosting, FTP, and Subsonic...

However, I think Subsonic isn't design to index a music database this large. Can someone tell me a solution please? Because everytime when I search for a song, the system tells me no match, however when I manually go into the folder, the music is there, all standard mp3s.

Everyone, I need a search index that can handle my "iTune" (or Napster) like music collection! Ha-ha I can basically open a music store lol...

Napster claim they have almost over 8 million songs, and I'm catching up by programming the server to download artist album using Yahoo Music and iTunes musics store record directories, automatically...

Thanks.

As you can see from this thread, Subsonic can definitely handle collections as big as yours. You need to build your search index, which takes quite a bit of time on collections as big as ours. Go to Settings / Search / Update Search Index Now. That's how you build the search index. I have my automatic updating turned off, which I recommend for collections of this size in general, and just update it whenever I need to.

OK. I know we have quite a few subsonic users with music collections over 200GB.

I tried to load a large amount of music on one of my old laptops and it pretty much laughed at me when I tried to open the home page.

Can you list out how many GBs of music you have along with your hardware setup and OS? I am thinking about building another PC for around $300 but am worried it might not be able to support a large amount of music.

It's all in the sig!

Works well, little time (20sec) to load left pane initially, but then it is quick with caching. Have Artist>Album>[TrackNo]-[Song] layout.
