Length of time for script to run.
Authored by: Oops on Oct 12, '07 01:40:13PM

The script that computes frequency from user input is not so prohibitive to run. On a 700 MHz eMac with 2200 songs in the library, it took about 15 minutes to run. In the other script which computes the actual quartiles and separates into ordered list by quartiles, the huge time bump was due to the time it took to sort the list by frequency.

Off that topic:
On thing I noted was that if you replaced any songs with their iTunes + counterpart, the 'date added to the library' has changed but the 'play count' has not, so the computed frequency is not reflective of the actual frequency beginning from the date the original AAC protected file was added to the library.
