Media.XML and how to create one from pc

Hi,

i have a 25000 book collection i want to transfer to my prs 505... yeah i know its a lot! Want to make it into my personal library ;p!

But uploading to device and just waiting for it to generate the list does not work properly. It just takes too much time and last time i did it the battery ran out.

Any way to upload all the books and then generate the xml from the pc. All my books have been copied to a dir with all formats, any easy way to generate that file and have it load on the prs afterwards?

any tips are welcomed thanks!

Edit: is this realistic, can the device handle that many books? I have a 32gb card so storage is not an issue... but xml may have some limitations regaring how fast it can be generated and used...

Edit2: hmm seems the prs-505 refreshes the db after being disconnected from usb... so this wont work! Anyone managed to upload a large collection on the device?

Edit3 : Found this software, creates a main.xml... will give it a try!
