Since our correspondence seems to be limited to my particular problems, probably not very interesting to, as you say, thousands of other functioning SK users, maybe we could continue by email? – 1701×664 46.4 KB It has perhaps ten category columns and appears to have an entry line for each of my 47,700 songs, SongKong has “fixed.”īTW, I find this forum awkward to navigate. Should I mention that I also see a very long and wide spreadsheet I was able to open in Mac OS Numbers app. I have made a point of copying the link you just provided to your Shop page, so I can open it at the appropriate time. I do recall that it had brought up a standard Mac Search panel in which I navigated to the new folder I had named “SongKong duplicates.” Maybe that was my mistake. I still have a very limited understanding of how SongKong works, so I apologize if my interpretation of this question was incorrect. What I meant by instructing SK to place duplicates was that one of the questions I answered was to pick a folder into which (I thought it meant) duplicates would go. On my 27" IMac, the report is readable, but only a small fraction of it can be read without panning and scrolling. How do I forward the screenshot to you? You asked how report looks. You asked me to take a screenshot of Fix Songs Report 7. Please acknowledge you have received this. How does one download and pay for a license to your app?Īfter I pay, download, and follow whatever instructions come with the app, will the duplicates then appear in the folder I designated? If not, what’s next?Īs you can see if you read our correspondence prior to this, as well as these questions, I am hopeful of making SK work to accurately identify acoustically identical records in my library, and have already invested days and hours into the effort. I searched for SongKong in the Mac App Store, but could not find it among the dozen apps that were returned from my search. My designated folder for depositing duplicates is empty, so I expect that my next step is to purchase a license, and that if I do, SK will move the songs it found to be duplicates will be moved into my designated folder. I can copy and send you these pages if you provide an email address of other instructions for uploading this info to you. Does it mean SK will change my cover art, despite my wishes that it not? I also clicked on “Errors and Warnings: 206." I don’t understand most of the items, but I’m concerned that many of the entries say, “Unable to load cover art…” Since I didn’t want my cover art changed and clicked so in the options before running the scan, this concerns me. Preview Only, no actual changes will be made to your music files” There is a tab for Options, but it just returns the same page. I now have a page called “Fix Songs Report 7. It scanned 47,699 songs in my music library. SK ran in trial mode for 2 days 19 hours 48 minutes 26 seconds. I selected options including not to alter album art and to disregard albums in determining duplicates. I instructed SongKong to place duplicates in a designated folder I had made called SongKong duplicates. It would be very helpful to me, and perhaps other new users, if you could provide a step-by-step list of actions for a trial run, to be followed by removal of duplicates under license, if wanted. Many that would be thought to be duplicates by title and artist will be known not to be when Acoustids and metadata readings are made.You yourself have pointed out that multiple versions of same artist/same title can exist, which is why I am excited that SongKong may be able to do what the Mac OS system and other apps that look only at other indicators, can not. I have “Get Infoed” a random selection of hundreds of songs here and there all over my library and they all have meta data (unless my understanding of metadata is incorrect.)Īm I correctly remembering that your advertising says a user can do a trial run to see how many duplicates they have before paying to have the duplicates moved into a designated folder? I am more than willing to purchase the app, but I’d like some reasonable expectation that it will work in my case (approximately 40,000 songs with about 10% duplicates. If this were the case, why would my earlier attempt have run for 22 hours and report having found over 4000 duplicates among some 30,000 songs, before quitting when the AC power was interrupted? My subsequent runs are the ones for which you are seeing the failures.
