I import 7k mp3’s from pre 2010 and it will randomly crash after a while during initial lookup scan. Then, I try to run it on different machines, where it still crashes. Running it in debug mode doesn’t leave any traces.
Also, the acousticID database is after all these years, still too small to correctly identify my collection ( 5-10% ? )
And if this software doesn’t crash, the lookup process simply misnames many tracks.
I show you an example on why you can’t trust lookup:
(pardon there is a lot of trash music in this very old colllection, but lets take some good artist)
µ-Ziq
Now, scanning it does not identify those tracks, but I try to use the lookup tool, what do we get?
… wow
we end up with these weird Albums no one asked for. And even worse, looking it up in search gives us a score of 100%. How is that possible?
The worst part of this is that renaming the files, would completely destroy the collection. I believe a software like this should mainly rely on fingerprinting and use some more advanced statistical measures to pick the correct name.
Am I using this tool in a wrong way? Am I supposed to import tracks one by one so it won’t crash?
For most of these tracks in this old collection, I can assure you that its mostly mainstream tracks and no obscure genres. I simply can’t trust the automatic process here.
