Pausing the process for large databases

I have over 40,000 items in a music library that I would like to process through MusicBrainz but my system slows down considerable at the 33000 mark. Is there a way to stop the process, save what has been procressed and then restart the process again?

Assuming you mean for Picard, generally every system will go slowly with so many files. Generally, consider loading a much smaller amount, maybe 5000 at a time. Not sure if there’s a way to pause a load in process though, maybe someone else here can help with that :slight_smile:

Such feature was requested/discussed in the past, but never implemented, see http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-288

I have the same issue with roughly 60,000 tracks, boy do I wish I read this first. It’s been running for a couple of days, which is ok, annoying but, better than doing all of the work manually. Quite some time ago, I accidentally renamed about 2,500 CD to all be by AC/DC.
