Hello again Paul,
I am perplexed by the results below.
After watching SongKong Standard slowly trudge through my collection of 4,832 audio files, last night I upgraded to SongKong Pro, in the hope that I would be able to cut the processing time in half, as stated on your website.
I ran SongKong Standard and SongKong Pro on the same exact set of files, using the same exact settings, which were basically the default settings in the downloaded app.
SongKong Standard took just over 97 minutes, so I assumed that SongKong Pro would take a maximum of 50 minutes to process the same files.
Not so. In fact, SongKong Pro took 39 minutes longer than SongKong Standard.
I also don’t understand why 1,964 songs were checked by SongKong Standard, while SongKong Pro checked 2,680 files. Does this have anything to do with the fact that SongKong Standard modified some of the files, so 716 more files had to be checked by SongKong Pro?
Why do both reports also say that I cancelled the task, when I did no such thing? I just waited for it to complete on its own and automatically generate its report. In fact, the app seemed to cut in and start generating the report even before everything was done completing in that window with the rolling stats. I noticed that another user mentioned this same issue to you last month.
Oh, one other point: At the time that I ran both SongKong Standard and SongKong Pro, I did not have any CPU-intensive apps running on my machine. Also, there was constantly about 1.5 GB of free RAM available while each version of SongKong ran.
Anyway, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts regarding these issues.
