Database Maintenance
Maybe these question were posed but, I don't remember where and what was said. I am looking for the following functionality:
Getting E-Jukebox to stop playing completely rather than just pause. For instance, I am going through and finishing editing up tags on my existing
collection and in the same token, I am wanting to listen to a new batch to make sure they are all right. Right now, I set the volume on E-Jukebox to
zero and use Winamp3 to preview the new stuff. It starts right back up if it is paused once you finish editing the file. I would prefer that the
program not be opening up MP3s since all I want to do is fix album covers and fill in missing info--why waste the CPU cycles.
I would like to know what happens when you edit a file that has the "Read Only" attribute active. Does it only modify the database or does
it modify the file? If it modifies the file--not good.
Next, there seems to be about a five second pause once the file's information appears on the edit screen before I can start using the screen. I
am not sure why this happens and I have disabled "read-only" on the files and they are locally stored on a hard drive (USB external but, I
would think that would be OK). OS is Win2K Pro and it is up to date. PC is ~550MHz but, I don't think this would be too processor intensive.
And finally...does this database perform any kind of compacting or reindexing to help it run faster. Album refreshes are killing me at about 1500
albums in the list. (This is a major reason that I am begging to page the album list.)
Other than that (and I admit that is a lot)...I really do like the program. I do recommend it to users who have been interested and it is a big hit
at parties since you don't have to man the DJ table if you don't want to and it is simple enough a user can just pick the song they want to
use.
