Problem with large file lists (> 1000 files) about mp3gainosx HOT 9 OPEN

@philjmaier
Command line is just the official mp3gain/aacgain app compiled for macOS. I don’t modify that. That type of request would go upstream to the original project, but they haven’t updated in years. It’s unlikely unless someone else does it.

Thanks. Maybe I'll add a file limit of 600 if I can't find an issue. It's difficult to test with that many files because I don't want to process all of my files since I wouldn't be able to test with them fresh again unless I copied them all.

Looking over the code again; The inefficiency with large lists was unfortunately intentional. It's using the "old way" of rendering a table which was deprecated in macOS 10.11 in favor of a new approach that is more efficient. But I still support macOS 10.7 or later, so if I want to fix this properly I'll have to drop support for macOS versions older than 10.11.

I definitely think it's reasonable to drop support for 10.7 to 10.10 now, but I should probably do one more release that supports 10.7 before that happens to address the AACGain issue that deletes files.

No ETA on these improvements. At the moment it's not too critical because you can work around it by using fewer files or using the command-line build that I have available on the website.

OK, thank you for checking!

I'm glad you did this port, however I do have the same issue. I'm on OSX 10.14.6 (18G95).

I'm using this at the command line:
find . -name *.m* -exec /Applications/aacgain -r -c -d 4.0 -p {} \;

Works good but was wondering if there was a way to run multiple threads like you can in the gui. Would be way more efficient than doing a single song at a time.

Thanks.

Me again. The two features that would be nice to add to command line are: multithreading, and recursing through directories. Great work though..

Again, thanks.

Looking at installing GNU Parallel (FINK) and multithreading it that way.

There are definitely a number of different solutions. You can do it with vanilla bash, which is the default terminal in macOS unless you've changed it or upgraded to Catalina which changed the default.

The multi-threaded versions of MP3Gain Express actually work this way. It's just launching multiple instances of the command line application and communicating with it directly to get the progress.

2.3.1 was released today. It fixes the critical bug with AACGain that caused it to delete incompatible files. It will be the last release that supports macOS 10.7 - 10.10.

Now that it's out and we have a final "good release" for 10.7, I'll look at this for the next release. No time estimate yet, this depends on when I get around to looking at it again.
