Just wanted to let you know that I've noticed a big jump in the speed at which mp3 tag processes files. I'm not sure if it's something you've done, some small tweak I've done in my configuration, or a combination of those and other reasons, but v 2.21j beta is running through my tags faster than I can ever remember before.

Please note that I usually am re-tagging more than 100 and up to 500 files at a time .. with a bunch of 'actions' to handle along the way.

Thanks for making this program one of the few that I could NOT live without.

p.s. Yes, I've already donated!

Rick,

thank you for the nice and motivating feedback! There were heavy internal changes in Mp3tag so it is quite possible, that the reading process is faster than before (though I don't notice any difference on my system here 😉).

I'm aware of that and want to thank you again for you support 🙂
