It should <em>never</em> use 60GB!!</p>
<p>If the database file is very large, try restarting beaTunes—it may shrink. Also, if you have analyzed fingerprints, please take a look at <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/2019/10/shrink-your-database.html">https://blog.beatunes.com/2019/10/shrink-your-database.html</a></p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/478010372019-11-04T08:01:18Z2019-11-04T08:01:19ZWhere is the analysis files folder located?<div><p>Hi Hendrik,</p>
<p>Thanks for your prompt answer. In fact the beaTunes database folder is about 500mb so nothing to worry about but I really thought there was something else generating that big amount of files.<br>
What are fingerprints?</p></div>P. A.

That’s those fingerprints.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/478010372019-11-13T20:38:45Z2019-11-13T20:38:46ZWhere is the analysis files folder located?<div><p>Hi Hendrik,</p>
<p>I’ve purchased Beatunes but I can’t figure out how to inspect only selected files. Can you help?</p></div>P. A. Loddetag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/478010372019-11-14T06:02:35Z2019-11-14T06:02:35ZWhere is the analysis files folder located?<div><p>Hey there,</p>
<p>Inspection is never file specific—largely because the goal of inspection is to name things the same way in the whole collection.</p>
<p>If inspection takes too long, try disabling some inspectors you are not interested in.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
