   Hi Andrew,

   I'd suggest either setting the fast-accurate slider to a center position or - if that's where it was to begin with - go to the preferences, analysis options, and lower the number of parallel tasks.

   In the first case, changes only take effect for songs newly added to the task queue.
   in the the second case, you need to restart beaTunes for the setting to take effect.

   Hope this helps,

   PS: Out of curiosity... do you have either lots of songs or lots of cpu cores?

   i had about 80 tracks in the que. i have 4 cores, but paralel tasks is at the default.

   The number of tracks in the queue don't matter - I was wondering about the total number of songs in your library.

   Anyhow, the default for parallel tasks is actually specific to how many cores (actually: hyperthreading 'cores') your machine has. I recommend lowering it by 1, as with 4 cores it most certainly wasn't at 1, right?

   i have 4 cores, and 4 threads.

   it was set to use 3.

   Well, simply restart then, make sure you don't set the accuracy slider for the Rayshoot BPM detection to the max and things should be good.

   That's not good. Can you please send me your logs?
