Kudo's for the ugrade by the way.<br>
Then synced, because I had added a couple of albums in the time it took to re-analyze.<br>
Surprising result: syncing takes forever under heavy disk load. Obviously BT again examines every file which it earlier modified in re-analyzing.</p>
<p>I'd expect BT to "know" about its own modifications, so BT-modified files don't needlessly trigger sync/rescan process.</p>
<p>Just wondering if there might be room for optimization here?</p></div>ErikLtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/480083062020-01-15T17:30:47Z2020-01-15T17:30:47Zroom for optimization?<div><p>Hey there,</p>
<p>beaTunes should only reload data from files that have a later last modified stamp than what's stored in the database. And the database entry is updated whenever an analysis is conducted. So beaTunes should indeed "know" not to re-read it's own modifications. That said, going through all files on a NAS and retrieving all file attributes may also take some time.</p>
<p>Can you please remind me what kind of library, you are using and what kind of medium your music files are stored on?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>I have a folder-based library (Win10), spanning several internal HDD's.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it's the number of processed files that's reflected in the sync time.</p>
<p>Tx.</p>
<p>Edit: there was no shutdown between analyzing and syncing... Maybe that's a factor?</p></div>ErikLtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/480083062020-01-16T15:48:19Z2020-01-16T15:48:19Zroom for optimization?<div><blockquote>

<p>No, that shouldn't make a difference. Perhaps it just takes so long, because your HDDs are already super busy?</p>
<p>In any case, you could pause analysis, sync, and then resume analysis—might make the whole process a little more efficient.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/480083062020-01-17T13:19:35Z2020-01-17T13:19:35Zroom for optimization?<div><blockquote>

<p>Nope. But I'm done repeating myself.</p></div>ErikL
