Title: Analyze Replay Gain - Memory Leak?
Post by: grahamk on December 31, 2002, 05:05:17 am

I am trying to analyze replay gain on ~18,000 mp3 files. It is a slow process, which is understandable, but what really makes it difficult is that the function appears to have a memory leak that eventually grinds the whole process to a halt at around 300 or so files. I have increased virtual memory to a huge number - that helped a bit, but it still runs the system out of memory requiring a reboot and restart of the process. At 300 files a pop with a reboot in between - 18,000 files is going to take a loooooong time!!

Are there any fixes for this available?

I assume your running v8 B393? On Win9x systems the memory leak may be in Winows itself (imagine that ?! ?!). NT based sys's don't suffer from this, or at the very least closing MJ (or log off/log on) would do the same thing that rebooting does in Win9x.

PS: Is there really 18,000 good songs out there? I'm at about 2,000 and could probably double/triple that before running out of songs I want to keep around. Just curious.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am running 8.0.393 on Windows 2000 SP3.

Are there other versions of MJ8 that do not have this problem?

PS. Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of good songs out there. :-)
