People with really big music collections, how do you even load them in your music player? (zerobytes.monster)

I was thinking about this. If you have, say, 1M+ songs, even if they are mp3, how do they even load in any player? Even for foobar2000 which is very slim and optimized, wouldn't it take forever to load that amount of 10+ TB, process the metadata and have it in memory?

How about players like MediaMonkey that also digest all metatags? Doesn't this volume just crash the program completely?
