Title: Submit Track Info To YADB Stalls Playback
Post by: GHammer on February 18, 2005, 02:36:50 pm
I just submitted track info to YADB and while the analyze (what is that anyway?) and submit were in progress playback stopped.

Should it? And if it "should", I think it should not.

your talking i think about the Digital fingerprint option

it has nothing to do with CD look up this is a optional way to look up a track with a fingerprint.

I think it will stop playing since it will access the file at the same time as it is playing (i think that is normal).

Guess there's always a tradeoff in things.
Get fast imports, spend the time later in other functions.
I'll take the fast imports though.

But this was submitting songs that were not playing at the time, for example submitting selections in the 'F's'  while listening to Sade.

However, since the analyze is taking 100% CPU it may as well stop playback.

And what would a digital fingerprint be? What is it created from?

The sound.  It's a mathematical representation of the sound.

Cool. Then it won't change just because of tagging. I was hoping it wasn't just an MD5 hash.

well it could be, but when you make a MD5 of a Audio file you must first remove all the modifyable data like the tags and lyrics etc....

however

the way J river is doing it (i think) is more like a waveform so no matter what the bit rate is it may match the song no matter if it was encoded at 32kbps or 320 kbps.

I'd hope that the waveform would be quite different between those two bitrates. Else, why bother with the higher rate?

i don't think it would be

the wave would be much the same, but you just get less to fill in the gaps.

it is not like they will tell how it is done anyway (I asked for a way to finger print in the SDK)
