MJ8 stucks too often while updating database
« on: February 15, 2007, 10:37:34 am »

When working with MJ8 (e. g. editing track or artist information etc.) it happens too often that database is updated by the internal saving routine. That hinders fluent work of editing because MJ stucks while database is updating automatically.
My impression is that the frequency of stucking MJ has increased. Is there any option to increase the time from one database update to the next one to a longer window? Thanks.

Thank you for your recommendation. But the new MC has much more features than I ever need. I just work with MP3 only. So far I am really happy with MJ8. My concern or question now is, what could be different as before and is it possible to influence in MJ8 the time from one delay to the next one? In the past it was delaying once in a while of several minutes, now I experience delays nearly each minute or sometimes even more. The database itself is about 75MB, so it is always quite a long time to wait until the data are newly stored. Thanks.

some MP3s have padded id3v2 tags

this is useable tag space

if there is no space to save tags in the ID3v2 tag (that is at the begining of the mp3). a mp3 tagger will re-write the whole mp3 from front to back with the new tags in place and some padding.

i really only use MC for mp3's also, but it has it's advantages and one of them is tagging.
