Real = Sys+User So it's more something like 2sec/100Mo let's say 2.5sec/100Mo (for this calculation, I prefer to use Mo instead of songs as songs length vary with styles and formats) For a 500Go library, it represents 12.500 seconds. It's 3-4hours Not too bad I think, furthermore, many formats has this music data hash embedded and MP3 format which hasn't this hash produce much smaller files. erland;275586 Wrote: > > Some additions: > - There has to be a tool which is easy to use to manage the metadata. > Compare with the different graphical tagging softwares available. > - SqueezeCenter has to be able to view and browse the library based on > the data. Can I transform a little your additions this way: To summarize things (critics/adding welcome): 1. metadata shouldn't be managed at SC level (only made available to SC with customscan for example see '5') 2. metadata shouldn't be managed at the media files level (to permit format conversions, multiple formats handling, file formats limitations) 3. a way for metadata to survive copy/rename must exist (several solutions like hash reference or xml file association) 4. a way to easily manage metadata should/must exist (graphical, with a lot of ergonomics design to limit data input, and possibly data source import like freedb, amazon, etc) 5. SC should be able to access the metadata for browsing/searching purpose (be it by export from metadata holder to SC or by direct reading of the metadata by SC) 6. metadata should be used to tag files (for compatibility with standard software/hardware) -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43851 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
