Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

We have seen this one time before, we set a version number in the header, if you have any security software which strips the headers then it will not work.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Keen to try this software out and downloaded and installed the version from the link (6c?). Duplicate detecting aspect runs OK but when I try and run the Album Art program, I get a keep getting the error 'software too old - please update' when I try and enter an email address/register. I'm using Win 7 64bit. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks, solved updating the bios.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Exactly, any system should be able to run at 100% using all cores for months on end. If not the system is faulty.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I'm using perfectunes on a lenovo thinkapd core i5. After few seconds of scannig I see my 4 cpu (cores) going to 100% and I see 4 fingerprintgeneretor.exe *32 taking 25%cpu each. After some minutes the PC becomes very very hot and it auto poweroff. With old versions of perfectunes (when it was just dedup) this problem was not present.

If software runs your computer hot, then the problem is your computer. Software is supposed to use all the juice the computer will allocate to it, and your computer and OS is supposed to allocate wisely; control the heat, and to shut down as a safety measure when they fail to do so.

Likely solutions:
- open it and clean it, make sure the fan is spinning as it should.
- bios settings (maybe clock down if supported ... you haven't been overclocking, have you?). Or maybe a bios update.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

On first run De-Dup didn't play the audio files.
After a restart play now works.
Double clicking stops a track rather than auto starts the one you double clicked.
Clicking on a song then double clicking makes the blue highlight go away when playing rather than stay.

Same bugs experienced here.

The last one can make all dupeversions of the audio file unselected (non-blue) while still playing audio, making you very uncertain which file is actually playing.


When I try to delete a duplicate file and this for some reason fails, the folder icon and the info "i" for that duplicate goes away and the icon is grayed and the delete button becomes [Deleted] - in effect making it impossible for me to see which folder/file was causing the error, preventing me from resolving a file readonly or permission problem.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

As a feature request could we have the choice to show more info in the duplicates window.
The field that I would really like to see to help me choose which to delete is full folder path of each file but others (such as file date etc) could then be added as additional options if requested.

Yes, please implement. Even showing only the beginning 20chars of the path (if lack of space is a problem) would be very helpful.

On dedup it would be nice if you could mark a suggestion to not be made again: I get 1778 duplicates of which there are only a few that I might care about.

Good idea, please implement.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

- Enable drag and drop from Windows Explorer. Drag a track into perfect tunes window. Handy when only a few tracks are outside of the Music Library, without adding temporary folders to the Library

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Another thought:

- Add multiple cover arts support: very often you may choose from front to back cover or disc image; if multiple covers are present, you could allow multiple covers management (with descriptions)

Metadata source? GD3 & AudioSAFE (which is user uploads)

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

My first test with the current beta. Works very, very well! Congrats!

Now my two cents:

- don't scan entire music collection on first start; possibily ask user what is the default folder before starting

- Allow "fix all" also for the entire track list, not only for the tracks missing arts or those arts not matching the proper criteria

- Fix possible exceptions such as AC/DC (currently tagged as AC;DC will lead to an artist called AC)

- In the results windows, add a "Stop" button to halt cover art search

- You could add a maximum results text box

- On 2 seconds mouse over, show a 1:1 preview of the image; handy to verify before inserting; wonderful if you could place side by side current art and previewed art!

- Add "Rescan All" & "Rescan" (per track) button (avoids exiting the program to refresh list)

- On demand, disable the smooth scrolling

Questions:

- What source do you use?

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

2. Would it be possible to add an option, which allows to find all the album art which are not squares (i.e. their resolution is X * Y, where X <> Y ) ?
Unfortunately - some CPs (and media servers) don't rescale the art during rendering ...

Please allow some % tolerance here. A lot of my art is 600 x 597 and suchlike.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Please add an option to skip all non-lossless tracks in Perfectunes AccurateRip (option needs to be able to disable/re-enable scanning per run, i.e. first i'd like to run only my lossless file, next time i start the program i want to leave the program running overnight to check all my mp3 files, third time i run it i just want to scan the lossless files again, including anything recently added )
