Database capacity?

I have no sansa, I want to buy one but I don’t know if the limit of 8000 songs is because the software in the sansa is limited to 8000 songs or if it is difficult to put 8000 songs in a 32 Go card ? And if with rockbox I can see more than 8000 songs, is the speed of play modified ?

The way the database that tells the player what songs you have is set up, it is limited to 8000 songs. I have far more than 8000 songs in my library. However my music is encoded in such a way that I could not get 8000 songs on a 32 gig anything. If you are using a smaller comperssion then you may be able to reach this number no problem. None of this has anything to do with play speed. The only change you should see is the speed of the database refresh when you update the songs on the player or card. In reality 8000 songs is quite alot and takes some effort to amass so I would say most folks dont have to worry about it.
