You either had the analysis archived into your files or I believe the MIP central servers record tracks and fingerprints and if your files match up against these fingerprints then it doesnt need to do the analysis phase again for the file. Hence the different status of files you see in the MIP GUI - Analysed, identified, validated, etc., Something like that anyway :) -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Visit for an enhanced Interface for MusicIP and integration tips and tricks, Plugin coding tips and Spicefly SugarCube the MIP AutoDJ plugin! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51012 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
