Means I have 20+ GB of music. Metadata can't be that big. :O
If you find a DB that can cope with 20GB without sweating much, give me a shout! ;) You might become rich if you make one, too!

The actual amount of data in that 20GB that needs to be handled by the player for that playlist is probably on the order of a few bytes bytes per MB. If we round up to 100 bytes per MB, you're still only looking at a few MB of metadata.

Oh, this one will be easy! But I'm warning you now, you'll need 24GB of RAM to run it ;-)
That it contains more than 20 GB of song data? If so, I fail to see how that relates to the memory needed to talk about the songs.
If it's instead 20 GB of actual song meta information, then I'm both and impressed by and a bit scared of your music collection. :) And also impressed by the software's ability to deal.
