Just an update on full my library analysis...

As mentioned previously, I was running this on a desktop PC. I use this
to rip CDs/download music etc. then have a robocopy clone job that sends
the files to the mini-PC where I run LMS.

So the plan was to simply analyse on the more powefull PC, then copy the
db across when done. And I started what should have been the final run
of analysis last night, only to find it seemed to have stalled this
morning. i.e. the dubug logging just showed the last track it looked at,
but there was no confirmation of the number of records written to the
db.

As I need to use my desktop for work today, I decided to run the final
bactch of analysis on my mini-PC, and one thing I noticed was that it's
re-analysing some files because of case differences in the filename. So
in one library I might have "08-Catch the Sun.flac" and in the other
"08-Catch The Sun.flac" - and it will then analyse this again on the
second PC ...which is fair enough, and likely a limitation of
robocopy/Windows not being specific with filenames when cloning - so not
really your problem. 

Secondly, regardless of which PC I run the analysis on it seems to
analyse certain files repeatedly - and not report any errors. Now we've
already established that some files are simply too short (< 6 seconds at
a guess, maybe a few more), but these other files it will try to analyse
again and again regardless. This seemed to be happening on some
AudioBook tracks - which are often quite long, so it appears we also
have an issue with analysis of exceptionally long songs... but without
an error. Again though, this is hardly an issue for any mix.

I did wonder though if you could pull the track length from the file and
skip files that were, for example < 10 secs or > 30 minutes?
