okay so you WERE saying that you WERE crashing on 32bit, not 64bit, right?
if you're on mac, you can just copy the text of the crash report, and send it in an email
if you're on windows, there's currently no method

are you crashing more on 64bit?
can you send crash reports?
are you on mac?

trello is best.

thanks. noted.

hmm. if you can reliably reproduce it let me know. in general, i can only really act on a bug that i can see for myself.

i think if you're using producer you're one of the 5% that gets lost in the cracks?
CDG pretty reliably never changes. UNLESS you're using producer. hmmm. well we can DETECT producer files, because kJams, you know, PRODUCES them, so ... yeah. we could reliably SKIP hashing.

okay so, maybe we take ...

note that MP3 DOES change the file data when you edit meta data, but luckily it does that at the end of the file.
so i do think that reading just the first 1k of a file is sufficient?
note this is using classic code determinism.

a better approach would be something you hinted at: audio fingerprint ...

oh! i just re-read my reply above.

i said "use bytes in files", and what I meant by that at the time was use the number of Bytes. Like if there are 2,157,329 BYTES in a file, use that number as input for the hash.

But then when I re-read it, I thought "oh that could be ambiguous, it could also ...

what would you use for the hash input?
can't use the path, or the song name/album/artist....
possibly could use bytes in files, but that's not guaranteed to be unique. some songs are zipped, some are not, eg: mp4, and byte size isn't a reliable marker for uniqueness.
don't get me wrong this is a ...

you should always update kjams

yeah i'm having "issues", but it is fixed

meanwhile, i DO recommend you upgrade your OS to Mojave 10.14.6
that way you're on an officially supported version of kJams at least
when you get there let me know if the bug still exists, and i WILL see what i can do, okay?

oh, you're on macOS 10.12.
sorry but that's an unsupported OS
but even if you were to upgrade to the last supported OS for 32bit mac, which is mojave, 10.14.6, i probably wouldn't be able to help. 32bit is officially end-of-life at this point, i'll make a few more releases, which will direct you to ...
