Would playback be slower than with just one? Or with none?
If you're playing all of them, across 14 external HDs, randomly...how would that turn out?


Thanks.

There is no limitations that would be caused due to fault of MediaMonkey.
The only reason why it would be slower is because when a hard drive (external especially) is not accessed in a while, the disk spins down and has to spin up again before the files on it can be read.
So MM will let you use it with as many hard drives as you wish, it just depends if the hard drive plays nice =)

Apart from this, you need 14 power connectors - unless you use USB powered external drives. This solution needs 14 USB ports. You know, what I mean?
