If I recall correctly, if the MusicIP server is down or if there is no existing fingerprint in the MusicIP server for the track that you're trying to analyze... the local machine analyzes the track, creates a fingerprint, tags the track with that fingerprint. and then uploads the resulting fingerprint to the MusicIP server (If the server is up). This process takes a considerable amount of time. If the server is up and the fingerprint for the track you want to analyze already exist in the MusicIP database, the analyzing process takes considerable less time, because all the MusicIP client has to do is download the fingerprint from the server and tag the track. The time it takes the local computer to analyze, tag and upload the fingerprint also depends on speed of the computer, the length of the track and the speed of your connection. Note that when the server is down, not only does it take longer to analyze tracks, but it also stumps the growth of the database that helps MusicIP streamline the process and new fingerprints can not be uploaded for subsequent use for other users.
