Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I'm trying out Perfecttunes at the moment, and while I do find it useful, it is a lot more cumbersome to use than I would have hoped.

The main issue is that each duplicate entry give the track name, album name, format - but not location. It's not even possible to hover or right-click to get this information. The only way to deal with this is to open two copies of Windows explorer and look. I'm pretty sure that this means it takes two or three times as long to sort out the problem. It shouldn't really matter how bulky each individual entry is.

I find this an issue because obviously, faced with two identical files, I'd rather delete the one that's misfiled than the one which is in the right place.

I also find it tedious that when an entire album is duplicated, there's a separate entry for each track. If two directories have identical content, it would be hugely convenient to have a "delete album" button - with a possible "expand" if someone really wants to look track by track. It would also be helpful to know when an album is incomplete in one location but more complete in another. Sometimes an album would be re-released with bonus tracks, and it's worth noting this.

Ok,, will do. I've since cleared the cache, but I'll re-run the larger folder and send you the results. Thanks for the help, Spoon.

Hey again...I've got the PerfectTunes' APPDATA folder zipped. Where should I send it?

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

open explorer, type %appdata%

if you zip up the perfecttunes folder (where all the albums are together) we shall check at our end.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

If you restart the program, it will only recheck the ones it could not previously.

I've tried that several times. It quickly rescans (apparently having saved the initial scan data in cache), and then proceeds to the AR submission phase. With exactly the same results...."Could Not Connect reported for all the same albums. But again, I can submit any one of these albums individually, or as part of a smaller group of albums, and the submission is successful.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Limit to number of albums that can be submitted to AR at one time?

I've just started playing around with PerfectTunes, hoping to check the accuracy of my many older rips as I create a new archive. When it works, and successfully analyzes an album, PerfectTunes appears to be a great tool.

My problem, however, is that I can only check a few albums at a time. Originally, I tried targeting a directory that had about 250 album folders. It spent a lot of time reading them all, then eventually reported "Could Not Connect" for most of them (along with a few submissions returned as incomplete or not present in AR). I've tried this on a couple different computers with the same result.

If I submit one, or a few, of any of these "Could Not Connect" albums, they are submitted successfully and I get an AR report. But with hundreds of folders to process, I can't see adding them one folder at a time.

Is this by design? Is there a specific limit on the number of folders/albums/tracks that can be submitted at once?

Yes it is likely the HTTP headers are being changed, which stops the program or server from operating.

If you are technical and can wireshark the http traffic, it might show us what is wrong.

I'm sorry I know what your talking about, but I don't know how to do that.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

That would be too easy. I am using Win 7 firewall, I made a rule for PerfectTunes, and no luck. PerfectTunes as access to inbound and outbound traffic. Still nothing.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Could not connect means potentially a firewall is blocking the program

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I'm having a small problem with PerfectTunes Album Art.
I started the program, it pops up with the register email account, since I have one I enter in my email account, and the password that I received. That's when I get the error "Could not connect". OK, no problem, I will just use lost password recovery.
I receive the same password and the same email address, again "Could not connect". I have the latest version, downloaded it this morning. My computer specs are Windows 7 Pro SP0 x64, 8gb RAM. I am currently tethering using my android phone, I don't know if that matters or not.

Thanks,
