Good Day,
I have about 95,000 audio files to run through on Auto Correct.
1.) Since the update doesn’t occur until the passes are complete and you select save how many files should I try at a time?
Thanks, Jeff
Large Library to run through Auto Correct - How many to let run I have 95000.
personally, I try to batch in groups of roughly 3000-5000 files.
Why? easier to eyeball and spot check, I’m not waiting so long for results (I like periodic gratification), and allows for some stopping points in case I decide I need to do something else.
Plus after doing a batch of about 12,000 files, I got the dreaded “low memory” message part way through.
If you set up and customize your autocorrector tasks, you can have it automatically save at multiple points if you like. (btw, Paul, thanks for adding this task to the list of options) This way, if you set up a large batch and encounter any difficulty, your previous steps are committed. I find there’s no need to save after every step, however, as some take relatively little time and should I need to redo that step for some reason, it’s no big deal (of course, on 95,000 files even the short time tasks could take awhile).
As I was describing in another thread, I have my autocorrector set up like such :
The various local correct tasks (basically use the default order and just append more tasks to the end)
Save files
Retrieve acoustic ids (there is a preference to save them to the files as they are retrieved so no need to save again)
Save (unless preference described above is set)
Correct tags from musicbrainz
cluster albums
Update tags from discogs
Save files
correct lyrics
save files
fix subfolder via tags
fix filesname via tags
save
