I run the analysis only with version 1.0.
I loaded 11K tracks to AS, and after the analysis run all night long the bare showed an important progress, something like 80%. Then the internet connection with the server of Audirvana was lost for some minutes. There was no access to the forum, and AS crushed because the connection was lost.
After the connection with the server of Audirvana was renewed, AS started the analysis a new. It was clear that it was analyzing.
In your case, it seems like a bug since thereās no indication if itās analyzing or not.
I donāt know for you, as you analyze with V1.3.
For us there was a very clear indication as AS 1.0 added a MacBrainz tag to our tracks.
You can check if something was analyzed by trying to get the bios of the artists. If you get no bios, nothing was analyzed. If you get some bios, some albums were analyzed.
You did not understand me.
AS added a tag to the files in version 1.0. We were very upset about it, and Damien changed the behavior of AS. Since v 1.1, it does not write to the files but to its library. But the tag that is added to the library allows AS to display bios of the artists from the servers of Wikipedia.
If you have no bios, nothing was analyzed. If you have some bios, some albums were analyzed.
Yes. With this tag you get bios for your artists. Unfortunately, this feature is useless, because the fonts are too small and the bio is impossible to read.
In addition, if you stream, Qobuz and Tidal will suggest you to listen to albums and artists that you donāt have in your library.
I confirm that many artists do not get a bio. Itās even the case with well known artists such as Pink Floyd!
I donāt think that the bios are related to the format of the files. I have also many DSD tracks, and I got bios for some of their artists, such as Diana Krall.
I do not stream, so I donāt know if the suggestions are really useful for the users who stream.
EDIT
I get bios in French, since my OS is set to French. If your OS is set to English, you may get bios for other artists, because maybe there is no bio in Wiki for a given artist in one language, but there is in an another language.
Base on my me trying out the studio version, the track is not being modify from your original mp3/flac/dsf, etc. What they doing is adding more information to the album but that information is kept on SQL lite. If you understand a little about database, you can actually organize your playlist. i got sick of tire trying to move bunch file to playlist with so many song that when i select all, move to the playlist but studio crash. i went to the database and start writing my own query. what i did was create a temp table say for all dsf files. I created the playlist call Highdef(in database the id is 5). I query all my music collection and insert to the temp table call temptrackhd, then from temp table the actual playlist table. See my command below. The reason to insert into temp table because i use rowid as unique number. if you understand the database, then you would understand constraint.
CREATE TABLE temptrackhd (
playlist_id INTEGER,
track_id INTEGER
);
INSERT INTO temptrackhd
select 5,track_id
from TRACKS
where file_type in (āDSFā,āDSDIFFā,āSACD ISOā);
insert into PLAYLISTS_TRACKS
select playlist_id,ROWID, track_id from temptrackhd
if you need to know where the database is at, go to c:\Users%username%\AppData\local\Packages\Audirvana***\localCache\ and one of the folder will have a file call AudirvanaDatabase.sqlite. That is where all the data is store for studio. Hope that help.
during the analysis, it update the album and artist table of the database. and man itās freaking flow. 10 minutes it update 2-3 albums. so imagine if you have 10k albums, it would be months before you are done.
You are lucky to understand how the SQL database works. But users should not be computing engineers to use a music player.
If you subscribe for a year, the analysis will end probably before the end of your subscription. @Antoine should make this analysis optional for the user to decide if he wants it.
i end up not going with subscription. I think its crazy to pay subscription for a music player. i donāt subscribe to tidal and other, so all my music are local on my NAS. compare to jriver, itās nicer but i donāt want to pay monthly for music i already have locally. i wish i had bought 3.5 before they went with studio.
I have TuneBrowser. Though Iām essentially a Mac user, and I use the Mac and its players for playback, I bought for my PC some good players that do not exist on Mac.
Windows reports that path name back to Audirvana. Windows is to blame here .
Microsoft decided to obscure the path names for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps for whatever reasons. Audirvana is a UWP app. It can be blamed for a lot of things, but not this one
