i.e. I gather that Audio Fingerprinting is done on up to 2 mins of audio content, and from the fingerprint it can locate a PUID from the server. I see that PUIDs are created from performing Music Analysis on up to 10 mins of audio content, but this is apparently only done on the MusicDNS servers. The MusicDNS servers can't access the actual music data, so is that web page reporting incorrect facts? >> I seem to have ~5000 tracks that do not have unique PUIDs. >This means the MusicDNS server has not yet generated a PUID for the >tracks in question. > In MusicIP GUI, I can see that the vast majority of songs in my music library have PUIDs. I have about 180 that don't have PUID's (30 unanalyzable, some analysed by name only, and the others analysed some time ago but still don't have a PUID). Out of the ones that have got PUIDs, there were ~5000 that were listed via running the "List Duplicates" report (generates a playlist). i.e. different source files in the library that have the same PUID.
