Fios G3100
Ethernet from laptop to router and streamer
12,181 albums
Trying to import 20152 tracks from local library is taking forever. It’s been 12 hours and it is on the letter C, 3640 tracks imported what is going on?
So slow, please help
Please, elaborate on what you are using as Roon Core, and the location of media files and all the other info requested?
Roon Team cannot assist, and neither the community without some info.
Sorry, Roon core is Lenovo Yoga 7i laptop
Location of medica files are on the laptop in the music files folder
Your Screenshot says E: HP SimpleSave? Seems like an external USB drive to me?
Oh sorry again, yes external hard drive to usb laptop
What file system does it have, and have you done your “disk check” lately?
Is the lappy cabled to the router?
And lastly, have you restarted the lappy?
What file system does it have, Not sure, aiff?
have you done your “disk check” lately? No
Is the lappy cabled to the router? Yes
And lastly, have you restarted the lappy? No
Files system? as in Windows7, 10, 11? Linux?
Something to try would be to go to Settings/Library and give Roon a few cores to work with.
I recommend you stop Roon on the lappy, then restart the whole Lenovo.
When it gets back up again, right click the E:-drive and find the Tool tab, do the disk check.
If nothing shows, ypu might still have corrupted files.
Have Roon got stuck on a particular album or is it slowly identifying and advancing the identification process? The identification is based on online contact also, can you check internet availability and performance?
And, a piece of advice, go into settings and set Background Audio analysis to off, while identifying.
No! He has not yet identified the files.
Shut off analysis!
The next stage handles that, when identifying is done.
Well, I think you might be missing something:
Part of “identifying” is analysis of the tracks… As far as I know, it does speed things up.
From the Roon KB:
Say no errors.
@Mikael_Ollars
As you can see in this screenshot the analysis and identifying happen concurrently:
So do I keep it on or off?
Reading thru I understand that Audio Analysis does:
Beeing a newbie my question is: Can I not use it? If the identifying is part of that I guess I want that. @bearFNF from your screen I see both happening but are the same process?
But: I do not use Volume levelling, crossfade; I do not care about waveform displays or Dynamic range info. If Detecting corrupt media is off I guess I’ll found out when I’ll try to play that media.
@CoochDigsMusic sorry for slightly changing the topic
Just a side note to this.
I had something similar, and after a couple of restarts of my machine, my external drive started to click. In a panic, I connected it to my Mac, but it wouldn’t show/mount. I gave it a large tap with my hand, and it was detected. This gave me long enough to save all my music on to another drive.
Drives do fail, and usually a tell, tell sign is slow transfers…
However, this may not be it. Due to talk about ‘Analysis/Identifying’ issues.
But, it’s something to consider. Thankfully, I have backups of my music now.
What do you mean by identifying the files?
Still slow after analysis turned off
Turning analysis off does not stop the identifying, so…maybe I have it wrong?
I just tried it again and it seems to speed up but it also seems that the analysis might be a separate process.
Mmm, I turned off and it is still slow as before
