I've tried so many methods of optimizing my mp3 script which uses a hashtable to store the file and it's mpeg properties. I use a dll for gathering mpeg info and if the dll fails which occurrs sometimes, then i use mircs $sound to retreive the information. I'm not really worried about it, just ideas and suggestions would be nice because of now whenever making the database i go through a process before the actual creation. I have the script read from the hashtable that is currently loaded and check if the entries within the hashtable exists as files within the mp3 directory. I'd just like to speed up the process of the actual creation time for new databases. Thanks.
I have 1500+ mp3s so the creation time takes about one minute, which isn't bad but i'm picky, lol.
