disabling the use of database

is there a way to disable the use of foobar's database but still enable metadata processing so the metadata gets read everytime i load the files??

TIA

That would not be very optimal. Perhaps Peter should implement it so you can get a feel for the overhead that would impose.

clear the database, exit, set the database file read-only.  It's SLOOOOOOOOWWW.

Actually, I think it keeps the database present in memory only if you do that. It will not have the intended effect.

it uses metadata, but as soon as you exit the program it's gone.  Next time you load foobar up it has no metadata in its database, because there is nothing but an empty database, so it loads all the metadata from scratch again as you load up files.  I would think that's exactly the intended effect.

Just curious, but why do you want/need this?

all depends on how many files you're dealing with at once I guess.  When I load up a thousand or two files using the read-only trick it takes a LONG time to get going.

oh, i didnt test with that many files
kode54: cause i once re-encoded some songs i had on mpc v1.1 with mpc v1.14 just for some testing, and after i loaded the files on f2k it kept saying that it was encoded with mpc v1.1 (i didnt know i had to reload the tags) i re-encoded 2 other times until i found out about the database, i dont really need it now that i know about it  but i was curious if there was a way to do it

There is an option when you click with right mouse buttons (Database\Reload info from file). It should do it
