Code: Select all
% Audio Properties: I could make retrieving audio properties much faster.
This will be very notable when you use columns showing those properties.
I did various things to achieve this. One of them (the most effective)
involves that some properties might not be retrieved anymore for some
files, e.g. the Bit Depth for MP3 files.
To go back to the more complete but much slower previous way, you can use
this new tweak:
AudioPropsSecondTries=1
I did this change because
you wanted it faster. Now you want it slow again?
Whatever, set this tweak:

BTW, bit depth for MP3 does not seem to make much sense:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/276 ... a-mp3-file
And: Did you ever see an MP3 file that had NOT 16-bit in that column?
To me it seems* that all MP3 files have 44.1KHz sample rate and a 16-bit depth — just like a CD.
* If that's really true (I'm not 100% sure yet -- help!) I could just write "16-bit" into that column -- that would be very quick.
I think the change from 18.30 to 18.40 was a good improvement. The speed is very important.

That's not a necessity. You can e.g. downsample it to 8KHz if you want...

OK, and what about the 16-bit depth?

MP3 does not have a "bit depth" so I would leave that entry empty by default.

Yet the system returns "16" for all my MP3:
Code: Select all
text <prop "System.Audio.SampleSize">;
So just writing "16-bit" might be more satisfying for some users, and helps with sorting the column.

Very sorry, MP3 no "bit depth", so the 18.40 version is very good. Thank you
