Interesting stuff... *prabbit* are you using the MusicIP app/GUI or genpuid? If you could also report what version and platform you're on that would be helpful.
Can you also take a look at the log file cparker mentioned in his post above and look through to see if any of the mp3s (which you say are going quicker than the FLACs) are being analyzed or just fingerprinted? What usually makes this process very quick is that only the fingerprinting stage gets performed. So long as the fingerprint matches to an existing PUID on the MusicIP server then your client just downloads the analysis information rather than running an analysis locally (which is the stage that takes a very long time). So in the log file you will see entries for a fingerprint being made for each track in the folder(s) you specified. After every track is fingerprinted you will then see an analysis entry for the tracks that did not have a matching fingerprint on the MusicIP server. Can you correlate the log file with your experience--i.e. since you were able to scan mp3s much quicker then your log file for that session should have very few to no "analyzing" entries. Whereas when you did the FLACs you said that it took a long time so the log file from that session should have a lot of analyzing entries. Hope that makes sense. I am only doing FLAC files and 99% of them so far are being analyzed locally. What's odd is that every now and then one or two tracks (never seen more than that) from an entire album get a matching fingerprint and therefore don't need to be analyzed. But why so few tracks? I remember when I ran genpuid on my entire mp3 collection a little over a year ago hardly anything needed analysis. So either there's an issue with FLAC files or something going on with MusicIP's servers or genpuid is borked (I am using genpuid 1.4 on Windows by the way--the linux and macos binaries were hanging on me constantly). *cparker* Perhaps I've mistunderstood but I could have sworn I read over at MusicBrainz (wiki or forum--can't remember which) that libofa, while open source, doesn't contain any of the "magic" analysis abilities that MusicIP Mixer and genpuid do. All it's capable of doing is fingerprinting and looking up PUIDs based on those fingerprints. My understanding was it was created for MusicBrainz and similar ventures who were using the PUID database purely to identify music and not for any of the cool mixing abilities. Like I said, I could be wrong. I'll try to find the link to where I read that. -- bookemdano ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bookemdano's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84338 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
