Checking md5 / sfv while file in use elsewhere
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2003 10:42 am
I just came across something. I was playing some music in Winamp..and also checking the same SFVs / MD5s that I created on my machine.
I'm not sure if this is the reason.. but the SFVs / MD5s that I know should be Good, turned out Bad because I was playing the music (the same music I was checking) at the same time??
Does playing mp3s and checking them at the same time cause errors?
Weird if you ask me...
If it's not that.. how do SFVs and MD5 end up going bad?? I created them.. so they shouldn't be Bad.
----
Also.. I was just doing some thinking, which could be another cause to the problem. When I created the SFVs / MD5s in the mp3 folders.... I wasn't physically in the folder, I was in the folder above that one.
What I have is all my folders with music in the same directory.. for example..
C:\My Documents\My Music\ --
And then from there I have each album seperated into folders.
Because I'm running Windows 98.. it starts to slow down terribly if you keep giong from folder to folder.. in and out. So what I figured is that I can just right click on each individual folder, Create SFV/ MD5 ..and hkSFV should scan to see the files.. and then create the files inside the folders.
Could this be a cause of bad SFVs and MD5s ??
(Note: there are other files in the directory as well-- .JPG and a .PLS(Similar to an .M3U ))
