General / Duration inconsistencies
« on: July 01, 2016, 10:26:33 »
When comparing Similarity often finds duplicates with a wrong (?) duration.
Example:
1. Abba - Waterloo - 4.17
2. Abba - Waterloo - 3.45
When you play/test both, they sound the same. Often the longer version is just a few seconds +/- than the shorter one. The Similarity player box (in this example) has a width for 4.17, but the audiospectrum and the sound stop at 3.45 - suggesting there is a lot of silence after the track. But that is not the case! When I play this 'long' version in my player (MusicBee) there is no extra silence at all.
How come the Similarity duration count (apparently?) seems incorrect? Or does MusicBee make the mistake and IS there indeed extra silence?
It makes it quite difficult to check all the duplicate pairs where only the duration is different...
