I'll try doing 3 or 4 tracks per thread, then. Thanks for the advice.If you keep the thread count down to two or three you might get
a noticable improvement but one thread per track, unless you havea lot of separate hard disk spindles to distribute the work willnot help much I suspect.Alan G.

One possible problem with this is that the activity is disk IO bound.
In fact using too many threads could even slow the thing down

Hello all,
I've been working on a program for a week or two now that will convert

Hello Python List,
When using perl I tend to use perldoc.
I spent ages today trying to list all items in a directory, simple I now
know (os.listdir) but I was trying to use os.walk simply because I had
no idea that listdir existed. I only found listdir because I was
reading about walk

A quick tip for the Windows command line.
Ctrl-C, Ctrl-A etc don't work, neither does right-clicking
(menu-click). However, right-clicking does work on the blue title
bar.
Right-click on the blue title bar and then go down to Edit and then
you can Select All. Then right-click on the blue title

Sometimes its easier to use the OS directly!
If you were selectively deleting files it would be different but for
I wanted to sum two time values:
-02:30
+01:00
--
-01:30
I found one solution:
>>> time_local = dt.time(2,30)
>>> time_str = str(time_local).split(':')
Now I'll can get the first value, convert to integer and sum it.

Hi Frank & Kent & Hugo,
Didn't have the time to read the list yesterday ...
Thanks for pointing me to the regex-debuggers. Though I don't
considered myself a regex-beginner I had to learn, that now that I'm
using regexes only occasionally I might need some help here and there.
Cheers,

Hmmm, that's interesting.
Obviously, for a playlist with x songs, and n songs by a particular
artist, the optimum separation between songs would be x/n.
Which would be easy for one artist, but for all of them?
Hmm...
Let's see. First off, let's discount all the artists with only one
song, they
