Well, being called a devious person on the same line as Mark is about the ultimate flattery

you could maybe think about shuffling FIDs about so that only playlists -- whose dynamic data isn't used -- are given FID numbers above 0x6FFF.


You're talking mp3tofid here. I must say, when handling such large amounts of data is when mp3tofid has its advantages:
- it is not bothered with 0x6FFF limits
- it creates a fidsifted directory structure by default
- it creates a player database that is ready to run

Reserving low fid numbers for tunes is doable, but there's hardly any benefit. One of mp3tofid's disadvantages is the lack of dynamic data feedback. Play count is unreliable and marking is useless even below 0x6FFF.
