Restructuring Takes Days with a VERY large Library
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:22 pm
I'm trying to use The GodFather to restructure and clean up ad VERY large music library and I have a few questions. First, how is there a typical rate at which the program should run over a particular number of files? I have an Athlon 64 X2 4600+ with 4Gb ram and the program is literally taking days to run through the library. Now as I said it is a huge library and it currently has lots of duplicates from days past that I am trying to clean up with The GodFather, so I am not surprised by it taking a long time, but when I go to bed and wake up the next day and it is still running I, this does surprise me. My second question is, is there anyway to add some form of progress indicator to this part of the program? Even a current file display would be helpful. Currently the indication that I know the program has not frozen is that the memory and read I/O usage in Task Manager has continued to increase at a very slow but steady rate. That said, if this program can pull off the task I have given it I will be very pleased with it because it IS a very difficult one.
