Michael, correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that the server is only used to speed up the analysis process. If the track you're trying to analyze is already in the server then it sends you an identifier and the analysis data. If the track is not in the server then using the MusicIP client your computer analyzes the data (a longer process) and sends the analysis results to the server so that subsequent user that need to analyze the same track avoid the long analysis process. In other words, I thought that the MusicIP client could work independent of the server. Of course, anylizing a big library, from scratch, in stand-alone mode would take a very, very long time. I've have been backing up the analysis data (default.m3lib) as I thought this would spare me from ever having to analyze my library from scratch again. I did not embed the signatures in my FLAC files as MusicIP has forever been in beta. Are you saying that the MusicIP server massages the analyzed data further once the local process is done and that without the server any MusicIP client analysis is useless? If this is the case, then the more reason for Logitech to license this service. I understand that the squeezeteam is going through a lot of changes, but MusicIP licensing should be on the list of to-dos for next year. If the owners of the MusicIP servers generate "some" revenue from the existing server(s), then they'd have an incentive to keep the service running. I will probably stay away from any new Squeezeproduct if MusicIP is no longer in the mix. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72940 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
