If something in the file itself had changed, the checksum would be different. To be sure it wasn't happening in the background, I ran a checksum on one of my audio files, played the complete song in iTunes, and re-ran the checksum. I am unable to replicate the same issue on my system, and haven't noticed any excess changes or uploads to crashplan on my filesystem after playing music. What else could be the reason why the tracks are uploaded? I noticed that iTunes opens the mp3-files with write access, as one can see from the fact that the information in Finder shows identical times for "modified" and "last opened" (is this a correct conclusion?):Ĭould that be the reason why Wuala uploads the files? Where is the information stored that a file has been last modified at a certain time? (not in the file, since the checksum doesn't change) Thus, Wuala updates files which haven't changed.
On this screenshot, one can see that Wuala uploads tracks the checksum of which has not changed: However, Wuala still uploads played tracks. I've just done the same: I checked the checksums before and after playing a few tracks, and none of the checksums changed. My question: Is it true that iTunes, in more recent versions, changes the mp3-file when listening to a song, or is the problem caused by newer versions of Wuala? I find it really annoying because this uses CPU and bandwith when I listen to music. This means that Wuala thinks that the file has been changed. the songs that i listened to are uploaded anew.
#Wuala apple update
Before recent versions of iTunes, I never had any problem with that.īut with more recent versions (I don't know when it started, but the problem definitely occurs in the current version 10.7), there is a problem: Whenever I listen so a song on iTunes, Wuala makes an update of the backup, i.e. I use iTunes to listen to music and I use Wuala to backup my mp3-files.
