i have got meetings all day and this is becoming a pain.
Won’t let me upload the results report from Song Kong, which is ridiculous for your own stuff. Now I will email it to you. Don’t know why I am wasting time doing this.
Program ran for 19 hours before I killed it on your instructions. Trying to run it again to get you the support files argh
Hi, thanks I got the support files, no need to run again I just needed the support files so i can see the logs
The error is that many files have is The cloud operation was unsuccessful - one such file with this error is C:\Users\VCSIAdmin\OneDrive - Vector Consutling Services, Inc,\My Music\Various Artists\Classic Rock Gold\Eddie Money - Classic Rock Gold - 02 - 10 - Two Tickets To Paradise.wav
I have never seen this error before but it seems that when trying to read the contents of a file it is having to access some sort of Cloud Service, can you shed some light on this?
ChatGbt tells me this error happens because the local application tries to access a file that is present only as a placeholder (a read-only link) on your local device, and the cloud provider is unable to download the actual data at that moment.
So i think the basic issue is half of your files dont actually exist on your computer they are virtual files and when SongKong trys to access them they have to be downloaded and this is failing after a timeout for each failed file which is why it took no long to run. It did actually complete with about half the file processed and half unable to load, maybe all the files are virtual and it could donwload some but because because trying to process all your music files half worked and half timed out. I noted that many of your files .wav files which are generally vey large when compared to other audio formats.
Looking at it again, i see that SongKong has been run against a Microsoift OneDrive, so everything could be on the cloud and needs to be downloaded, so the the time taken was due to downloading the files and timeouts because it could not download files in a timely matter.
If you re-run the files downloaded last time should now be on your local drive so it may be able to retrieve the files it could not first time. But this depends on your OneDrive settings and size of your hard drive, if there is not enough space on your PC to store all the files then OneDrive will start removing the local copies agian.
I’m guessing you do not have enough space and that is why you are using OneDrive, one idea might be to convert your Wav fies to a compressed lossless format like Flac. The format is still lossless so there is no loss in quality but the file is compressed so it takes up much less disk space than Wav. Also looking at your report you apoear to have a lot of duplicate copie sof the same albums that could perhaps be removed to save space.
Presume you meant FLAC.
Seems the may have to do it in stages if local storage is an issue. Trying to scan tags from files sitting in the cloud seems rather optimistic to me, especially when the service isn’t intended to mimic local storage.
Yes sorry, corrected.
Yes, it is not a practical way to use SongKong
