Karaoke Forums

One of several poll questions regarding Karma usage.

It takes me about 8 minutes to update because I have 3 folders of nearly the same music but in different formats. I haven't eliminated any of the old folders because of the new way Karma handles the history files, so I just add another category. So far I have "old karaoke", "new karaoke" and "brand new karaoke". Each new category gets a little closer to having corrected all the spelling errors and includes new music too.

I will soon eliminate the 1st two categories and will be left with only "brand new karaoke". That folder has no sub folders and it updates in about 1 minute. I have been selecting songs for all all my singers for the last 2 years from the "brand new karaoke" category so my history will be pretty good without the other 2 categories included. It has been a slow transition, but my history was too important to me to lose.

I use the File Scan method.

For a system with 63,892 tracks it takes 55 Secs for the first pass (if I am updating the very first time after adding the folders). It takes 30 secs for subsequent passes.

I have a very similar number of files and it takes about the same amount of time if I only scan my newest folder. My big difference is that I am still using a very old version of Karma.

I am running the current version 2016.0.07.
