The analyser now works! However it is far from complete...
Still to do:
On a 450Mhz P3 machine, it takes about 1.5 secs/track, ie. 4 minutes for a whole disk. On a 1.2GHz Athlon it is about 30 seconds for a whole disk. Believe us when we say that very few cycles are going to waste here, this is a very complicated problem as you have probably realised by now.
If the scores for a particular track format are very poor, the analyser decides that it is an unknown format and marks it as such.
Time to sleep... [Ed: You deserve it!]
