Server Version#: latest as of Sept 6th. Player Version#: latest as of Sept 6th. I have a large music library and from my past experience sonic analysis takes weeks for this library. I am on a new PC with OpenSuse and I have started the analysis process. Do you think I should wait till it finishes all analyses before I use PlexAmp to play music? I am afraid to corrupt the database or end with incomplete/erroneous sonic data. ---

You can use Plexamp. It just won’t have access to any loudness or sonic analytical data until the process is finished. ---
