How big is your Stepmania folder?
 

This is more a question of curiosity.

Right now I am at 6364 songs across 112 folders in Songs (after downloading a bunch of stuff) -- still adding more, but I am curious how this compares so far as a relative benchmark.

Turn on FastLoad. Use Ctrl+Shift+R on Select Music when you need to reload a specific song because it was edited outside of edit mode.

Re: How big is your Stepmania folder?
 

My main SM client currently loads 17307 songs in 408 groups. From a cold boot SM5 loads all this in about 3 minutes and 25 seconds, and 25 seconds from a reopen. Note however that I am loading this from a USB 2.0 external hard drive, so most people should load way faster than me. My main songs folder is 84.7GB currently, which is why I moved it off the main drive in the first place.
