I have 20 or so set lists with 20 songs in each. I use these for open air markets where the crowd is mostly on the move and there is very little audience interaction. The sets give me an hours worth of music, and I used to have predictive set on 3.
But, I always hankered for a 400+ rackspace where I could randomly pick songs according to requests or “atmospheric feel.” With a random setup, I reckoned that a setting of 3 was redundant. So, the kind GP developers added an option to set predictive to 1. This means that as the next song is being loaded, the just played song is being unloaded at the same time. Waiting can be anywhere between 4 to 10 seconds and occasionally 11 or 12 depending on the size of the rackspace. The waiting time isn’t hard to endure. A water bottle sip, pretend adjustment of my belt pack or a vague glance around the crowd fills in the time ok. BTW - I use an iPad to change GP rackspaces and have a Surface Pro 8 i7 with 16gig memory.
