I have an Audigy 2ZS sound card & software. I am trying to find out how “Music Analyzer” works, and what the numbers mean. It is a good idea, and sounds fairly good, but it does some incomprehensible things. Days or weeks after I record something, the music disappears from the file, and won’t play.
The analyzer gives numbers “-1″ yet the program refuses to accept that number.
I analyze 1300 selections, and two weeks later the program starts all over again at No. 250, and re-evaluates 1100 selections.
Some selections it analyzes and instead of a number, records it as “unknown”.
The Creative help file contains no information what-so-ever on the Music Analyzer, and their web site won’t even entertain any questions. Is there anybody out in the wide world who who has knowlege of this program? Thank you.
