My site requires 10,000+ 1-2 seconds mp3 clips, saved as individual files. They are each about 12Kb in size.
Are there any potential issues with storing them all in one huge folder as word_1.mp3, word_2.mp3 etc...? Are there other approaches?
Many thanks, Patrick
EDIT
Sorry for not being clearer. The files will be uploaded to the folder via FTP but a javascript function (SoundManager2) picks the mp3 files to play. Will there be speed issues with crawling the folder for the right file?
Answer
Can you sort and group your mp3 into themes? If so, then I would put them into separate folders, all from a root folder name mp3, clips, or whatever suits your use.
Maybe it's just me, but having 1000s in one folder can be hard to manage, plus some FS might not like it.
