It's not trivial -- if the player is to make soup out of files added over USB mass-storage, then it must do all the metadata extraction, database indexing and so on.


Which when it goes wrong can leave you in a bit of a mess. Eryl's Rio Forge can get into a nasty state if it runs out of space when rebuilding the meta data, queue an endless loop of out of memory crashes, which you can't recover from properly until you plug it into a PC again and delete some songs. To its credit it does try to recover by offer to delete stuff, but that doesn't always work.
