Unfortunately I only have -very- few classical titles. I would expect
good results but you might want to ask someone that really uses MIP
with classical music. Or give -last.fm- a try — they use MusicIP’s
-MusicDNS- service (plus a little more) behind the scenes, so you might
get a feasible approximation.

Indeed. About 20k files took around 7 days here … (heavily loaded
Windows machine) It’s faster when they know about the titles already,
but if you have music that’s new to their database, calculation really
eats up processor time.

Well shortly after. The Windows -MusicIP Mixer GUI- will react to
directory changes for folders you can set, and thus automatically start
fingerprinting in the background. You have the option to set thread
priority for that, plus the option to automatically save the analysis
data in the tags (which I’d -highly recommend-).

You can also use the command-line -genpuid- tool in Linux to
fingerprint all or part of your collection. (Can also save to tags.)

Exactly that :-)
