Performance Expectations

#1

Hi,

i bought Jaikoz yesterday mainly because it is known to handle even huge mp3 collections. After the usual initial problems with a new piece of software I learned that I should increase the amount of ram that Jeikoz may use in order to handle my 35000 file collection.

After that modification Jeikoz was able to import my collection in a matter of minutes which quite impressed me in terms of speed (IMAC I5 Dual core). However, today I tried the Autocorrection and noticed that after hours of work Jeikoz was still in step 9 of the autocorrection and had handled only a few hundred files. That is where my question arises from: Is there any reasonable value that I may expect for the autocorrection in terms of files/hr? You may find this question foolish, but being a complete newbie to Jeikoz I have no idea if this behaveour is normal or if something is going terrible wrong here.

Best regards

That does seem very slow, I would expect about a second per song, UNLESS you have chnaged the settings to always generate an acoustic id.This would normally take another couple of seconds for each song UNLESS it is completely unknown to the database then can take upto a minute, but I would expect you to have many songs like this when the AmpliFIND db already has about 15 million songs.

Generating acoustic ids can also be slower if your songs are are a networked drive.

Could you email me your support files (Advanced/Create Support Files) , this will allow me to give you a more definitive answer.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your quick answer. Yes the files are located on a NAS QNAP TS219. I am aware that the network traffic increases everything by a certain amount.

I earn my living with software development for data acquisition systems in the air pollution measurement systems, so you may expect some insight in software in general. However, for the IMAC and specially Jaikoz I am a COMPLETE newbie. Where are that files located and how are they named that I should send you?

Best regards

Just use the Advanced/Create Support Files option within Jaikoz, this produces a zip file which you can then email to support@jthink.net

Also, try copying some of your files to local disk and see how you get on
