New Music Tag Reader -- Testers needed (4 Viewers)

[SteveV]

Got it and sent you reply plus email. 4Meg zip file. Note it appears that all the .wma files (three albums) are like this, don't have many music files on this computer so will try at home computers also.

Note the album art not showing also - probably due to the error halting the jpg from being read.

The folder.jpg is ignored. Coverart image is shown only if the tag includes embedded artwork (in the music file).

Hey Steve!

I am running the test right now.

At getting tags for track 6440 out of 17241 tracks I got a crash:
"MPTagReaderTest has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

Error signature:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : mptagreadertest.exe P2 : 0.2.0.0
P3 : 44b65ce1 P4 : mptagreader P5 : 0.2.0.0 P6 : 44b65ce1
P7 : b2 P8 : 126 P9 : system.outofmemoryexception


I have got one gig of ram and just a few apps open currently


regards

Hi knut,

Do your files contain embedded artwork? I've read as many as 5900 tags without mem issues on my laptop (with lots of open apps) and approx 60% contain embedded artwork so I'd be surprised if it's a memory issue.

It's a long shot but did you happen to note approx which file it happened on? If so, can you try scanning that folder only? Baring that; can you rescan and see if it happens at the same track?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Always stops here at track 915 of 1169. No crash program keeps working can look at the information in the track already read in.

I've mp3 only and everything seems to work fin except the duration:
I convert my CDs into VBR MP3 files using Adobe Audition 1.5 (100% compliance to MP3 fromat)

The MP3tag software calculates the duration correctly:

Your test app in comparison:

Using filesize and average bitrate the duration can be calculated exactly. Note that only few players/tagers do show the correct duration of VBR MP3 files.

It would be great if MP could do that as well...

Hi Steve,


here are my results:
Umlauts - ok
Scantime - 1:30 Each Drive contains ~ 4400 mp3
Totally scan tracks - 30669 then application hang
wma-file - Error Tag reading
ogg file - ok
CPU useage bout 90%, RAM useage for a drive with ~ 4400 files pikes at 710 MB while scanning
MPTagReaderTest.exe stays after closing the gui, using ~90% CPU load and 60856.

Some Album Artist are not read.

Does it eventually finish the scan (progress bar is replaced with summary text when finished)?

At this point it looks like a little loggin would go a long way. I'll add logging tonight and post a link to a new version.

Thanks for testing.

We should be able to do this but it will slow the reading considerably. I'll have a look at this after I sort out some of the nasty bugs.

Thanks.

why i have not the cover art?

That would be great! Maybe it can be used as an option that can be activated/deactiveted.
Not sure if it would slow down that much - mp3tag scans relatively fast through a dir with lots of mp3s and shows the correct time. (~1 sec for 700 VBR MP3s)
Thanks a lot
