Since Florian constructed the (really needed, very useful) database system, I expected some strange behavior. In settings I selected to monitor for DB only my "standard" music library: internal HD, D:\Art\Music. Unfortunately, with turned ON database system any writes-saves in files became very slow…

I think that the distribution of database and collection is crucial for performance. And what is valid for all database systems: the more real hardware you have, the better. An example: The slowest setup is the portable installation on an external USB3.0-HDD with program, database and collection …

[image] ohrenkino: program and database on an SSD Thank you, ohrenkino, for your reply. Yes, I think about it. (But the question I leave opened, of course.)

I'm having the same problem. My music is stored in C:\Users*myname*\Music (SSD), Mp3tag is on D: (HDD). Mp3tag is set to only use the music folder for the library. However, editing files outside of the library folder is just as slow as editing files inside the library folder. It also doesn't matte…

[image] d4k0: My music is stored in C:\Usersmyname\Music (SSD), Mp3tag is on D: (HDD). Mp3tag is set to only use the music folder for the library. Try to install Mp3tag on your SSD (C:) including your library. Does it speed up saving tags?

I did a few more tests (I use the portable version of Mp3tag, so I can move it). If I move Mp3tag to the SSD, then tags of files that are not in the library folder (it doesn't matter if they are on the SSD or HDD) are saved fast. If Mp3tag is on the HDD and I deactivate the library feature, then t…

[image] d4k0: tags of files .. are saved fast.... tags are always written very fast I am lost right now: bug or no bug?

I tried to sum it up: Mp3tag is on the SSD (library feature activated): Files are on the SSD and not part of the library folder: Tags are saved fast Files are on the HDD and not part of the library folder: Tags are saved fast Mp3tag is on the HDD (library feature activated): Files are on the S…

[image] d4k0: Mp3tag is on the HDD (library feature activated): It is not so important where MP3Tag is installed but it is important where your library-database is located. In a normal windows-installation this is in %appdata%\MP3Tag\data\library. Where is it located in your cases?

As I'm using the portable version, the database is always located in the Mp3tag folder (in the subfolder ' data\library').
