hello from France, i would love to like a product like this, but:
- it's real slow: on an imac core duo (2 Go RAM), with a library of 12000+ mp3 (a good proportion of vrb) on an external fw drive, it analysed at it's best 2000 files a day… But that could be acceptable if everything else worked flawlessly…
- it crashes at intervals (no patterns detected in the frequency… a file it doesn't like?). I think it's not acceptable.
- i stopped the analysis (at around 6000 files analysed) to apply Onyx on my start disk. When i resume analysis musicip mixer re-analysed 3000 files (the counter of files to be analysed was at 9000+ files instead of 6000!!). It was "faster" than the first analysis, treating those 3000 in about 7 hours (yes i know, "faster" is maybe not the better adjective!!). Not acceptable either.
- Last but not least: i discovear that it corrupted the ID tags (and some album covers) of nearly all the files it analysed. For ex., the name of an album "Peeping Tom" was transformed to "Peepin9 (om"; that corruption applied randomly also to the name of the file, the artist, the genre, comments… even album arts. BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES IF YOU REALLY WANT TO USE THAT SOFTWARE…
My conclusion: avoid that software or backup just before testing it

1.7 corrupt my mp3 files while analyzing - hEADcRASH
Hmmmm........interesting....
Nearly ALL of my QuickTime compressed files (AAC/192/Best) stopped playing... in QuickTime there is just silence, while iTunes, iPod(s), and Apple TV just skip over them...
I thought that the upgrade to QuickTime 7 may have been the culprit, but no amount of wiping/installed/etc. brought the files back...
...so I spent the last 30 (man)hours re-ripping thousands of songs...
...perhaps now there is an answer!
I had let MipM 1.7 analyze my whole library - it took about a week... and it still didn't function very well...
I'm definitely wiping the thing from my drive. It just isn't worth it .. sure, I could test it on a sample iTunes Music Library... but I just can't afford to risk more problems down the road...
