Man, is no one else having the problem of lockups .. I can only get the 200-250 submissions .. then WHAMMO .. lockup of MC .. and it will crash if I try to do anything ..

I did a check of resources during a scan .. and the number of "Handles" just slowly ramps up to about 15,500 ... then MC locks up .. As soon as MC closes (aka crashes) the handles go back to a normal LOW number ... does that help .. Im on WinXP Pro ..

Everything ran smoothly for me...while I was uploading lyrics I was reading the forum.

I've uploaded 153 and received 243, so thanks to all that have uploaded. I now have many more songs with lyrics.

my uploaded song count doesn't increment any more for duplicates which is a very nice addition King!

I still have 324 songs with no lyrics (yeah, my library is small compared to some here).

My 30GB iPod has tons of room to grow.

Do anybody mind to send me the plugin through email if it is not too big or ICQ me the file?

Are these from user submissions or are you getting this many from harvesting?

PS: Still getting lockups and then MC crashes ... Cant find rhyme or reason. I get through about 200-250 files then it locks up ...

drosoph

It seems some people have blank Artist And Song Fields, and i was not checking for this since mine are all filled in.

it now checks to make sure they do not = blank if so it will not try.

let me know if 0.0.07 this fixes the problem.

I get the same thing... Does MC lock up, or your computer? With me, I have to turn off my computer and turn it back on for it to work again.

What happened .. you went from 40K to 30 K ??

COUPLE PROBLEMS with Build 0.0.7
-- When UnChecked (Get Artist/Song in Lyrics) the Artist and Song are still included in the lyrics
-- Automation / Runtime / File Error on end of processing ...
Corver Art Finder Error 440, Lyrics Finder error 52, Artist Bios Finder error 440 ... (Im guessing this has something to do with the new plugin architecture )

i must have hit a 4 and not a 3 and did not notice, i was close to 30,000 i think it was around 27,000 now it is over 30,000 it is treally 31,674 (Just checked) about 1,000 new since last night when i checked.

it looks like the FTP server crashed so maybe that was the problem. let me know if you still get the errors. i have not seen any errors.

give me a sample, and i will check the orginal. it may be the orginal lyrics file if so then it is not really a problem with the program but rather a proplem with the person who submited it's orginal lyrics file.

i don't see anything cut off from the orginal file, there are a few that maybe missing a chr or two ut i think they were that way orginaly.

I did not have time to work on the program today, but i think it works. and will put the traps in. i have done some tests with about 75,000 files, and no crashes and no problems.

I think sometimes some systems may cause problems or maybe network \ internet problems.

they are missing in the orginal

this may have happened when using that other program i had, it sometimes cut off the last chr and it was submited.

I don't see this as a problem with tis program.

even more so since i am adding and replacing Lyrics as i can find them.

32,733 and counting.

Can you clean up all the [comma] and (lf10)'s in the Lyrics ?

KingSparta · « **Reply #75 on:** July 17, 2003, 02:33:34 am »

this program does not use

[comma] and (lf10)'s in the Lyrics

if thats what your getting it was submited that way from a user.

if you tell me what ones may have it i can fix them

Latest Version Has A Filter To Filter This Junk Out

drosoph · « **Reply #76 on:** July 17, 2003, 06:09:16 am »

I had 1600 songs with (comma) or [comma] in it somewhere ... didnt count the (lf10) songs

I will delete these lyrics and redo them ... will the new version have clean tags ?

KingSparta · « **Reply #77 on:** July 17, 2003, 08:55:13 am »

well the new version should filter that out, let me know if you have problems.

King,
Are you saying you will filter Out on submission or server side processing (after the fact) ?

And, when you say Filter Out - Do you mean "clean up" I dont want [comma] REMOVED .. I want it replaced with an actual comma

Also, does this mean I can delete all the lyrics with (lf10) in them and re-get them and they will be all "better" ?

I know, Im tedious

KingSparta · « **Reply #79 on:** July 17, 2003, 02:01:36 pm »

did you try it?

here is the code

Quote

MyLyrics.Text = Replace(MyLyrics.Text, "(LF10)", vbCrLf)
MyLyrics.Text = Replace(MyLyrics.Text, "[ QUOTE ]", ChrW$(34))
MyLyrics.Text = Replace(MyLyrics.Text, "[ COMMA ]", ChrW$(44))

since the orginal info was in all caps it will replace:

[ QUOTE ] With a "
[ COMMA ] With a ,

if they are not in all upper case it will not replace them, are you saying in your Lyrics contains [comma] and not [ COMMA ]?

what i don't understand is why you just don't use find and replace in MC9 and Change [X] Lyrics from [COMMA] to "

that will work just as well.

drosoph · « **Reply #80 on:** July 17, 2003, 03:01:07 pm »

Yes, lower case .... i see (lf10) [comma]

Quote

....

drosoph · « **Reply #81 on:** July 17, 2003, 03:08:21 pm »

I have ben replacing the [comma]s with "," and

Quote

s with " ....

But I figured ur DB could handle this before it gets to the end users ..

BUT ... and a big BUT .. I have yet to find a way to replace a (lf10) with a Carriage Return !!!

KingSparta · « **Reply #82 on:** July 17, 2003, 03:14:24 pm »

well if you download the one I just put up it should work on lower case also.

drosoph · « **Reply #83 on:** July 17, 2003, 03:24:34 pm »

Yesterday I Had about 32,000 Lyrics Right Now I Have Over 42,000+ Lyrics

I Should Have More Soon

What I Did was write a program to scan the FreeDB database and pull out artist names and Song names and save that to another database that I have another program scanning the internet for Lyrics and then saving them to my Lyrics database.

When you use the new "Lyrics Finder" program, aval at http://www.spartasoft.com it will find any new lyrics and save them to your files and also add any lyrics you have to My lyrics database.

It will take sometime to scan the FreeDB database but I should have a bunch more each day.

Honestly, I always hoped lyrics searching would make its way into MC9...now, more folks have to help me populate prog metal/nu metal genres! Unless I'm the only one who listens to Dream Theater, SYL or Soilwork...

well king.. i tried to figure out what you mean..and nothing but air..

but i made a thread named on Lyrics Service before..
and after about 40 post as i remember jim posted his final post telling that he does not like the idea when it is some kinda forbidden or something.. and closed the post..

so does it suites to be a meaning of what you said..?

KingSparta · « **Reply #92 on:** August 11, 2003, 01:09:49 pm »

well here it is in a net shell

Lyrics are copyrighted and J river does not have rights to them (nor does any of the lyrics sites).

but this is a legal issue and JimH does not want to setup a lyrics site and be put in jail (AKA: Orange Jump Suits).

I on the other hand have nothing anyone wants and i live in a home the size of two walk in closets one for my computer and the other for my wife and her Tivo.

I finally got to try the plug-in and it is excellent! I didn't see this potential bug mentioned, but it appears to slow down significantly anytime it reaches an artist that begins with a number (311, 50 Cent). No big deal, but in case you're interested in bug reports.

Regardless, worked like a charm so thanks!

KingSparta · « **Reply #94 on:** August 17, 2003, 03:19:33 pm »

it could be many things

network
long lyrics file
server busy

but i did notice what your talking about and i will look into it a bit more. if anything something to tell you whats going on.

normaly the slow down will be when it is getting lyrics from the server.
