QuestionI need opinions - usability - not sure where to ask this Pin

So I have an app that's designed to run on a piece of hardware intended for musicians, who are not tech savvy.
They also use equipment that can produce corrupt files, although that's not exceedingly common.

My software boots and reads an inserted SD card. Currently during this process it loads each MIDI file and scans through its entire contents to determine if its valid before adding it to the list of available files. That way, corrupted files do not appear in the list. It also means I can display more information about each file.

Once loaded, you scroll through the file list with a small rotary encoder (a knob basically for those of you that don't know what one is)

The issue is this: The title screen can take some time to load. It's not terrible with a dozen files, but more than that and it starts to be like "hurry up!"

Couple this with the difficulty of scrolling through a ton of files with just a knob.

I'm thinking this is okay. Basically, don't put 100 files on an SD card. What do you think?
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
