Analyze Audio and Reboot
nonightsweats:
I've been using Analyze Audio bit by bit to catch up on my large suite of files. However, my system seems to have some instability / slowness so there have been instances where the analyzation process has caused some sort of memory failure and the PC has rebooted because of this. This is an issue with my setup - not JRiver so I'm not complaining. Commonly this has occurred when I'm playing music etc at the same time as the analysis so I don't do that any more and limit the analysis to approx 1K files at a time.
After the system reboots and I re-start the Analyze Audio smartlist, I see some files which I had previously selected and so I can perform the analysis on those again. I assume this is simply checking the Library itself to determine what has been analysed. Is that correct?
However, at the time of re-boot I assume there would be more files which have not been physically tagged: when the analysis is finished I commonly see hundreds of tags still being performed (and I wait for those to finish now before doing more).
So could there be a discrepancy between Library and file tags? If so is there any way to check this and re-tag?

When a system crashes with MC running it is not uncommon for MC's database to differ from the tags inside a few of the files that were being worked on at time of crash.
It is a good practice after a crash to manually run auto-import (with the options "Update for external changes" and "Fix broken links: Yes (protect files on missing drives)".
This will realign the database with tags and will give you a report of the files that you should manually inspect to ensure no tags need to be fixed by you.

That sounds like an unstable PC. What antivirus are you running? Have you configured Windows Defender?
OS and version of MC?
Where are the files stored? A NAS or USB drive or a local drive?

I did not mean to imply MC causes crashes. I agree with Jim the problem is probably with your system.
MC is perfectly stable today and when the occasional problem is identified in a new build it is fixed immediately.
