When you upload music tracks, how do you think Google works out if they already have the track and just add a marker and when they have to physically upload the whole file?

As I take advantage of the 50k limit, I'm finding surprisingly large numbers of files that need a full upload.

And this is a lengthy, laborious process. I've also had to restart Music Manager a couple of times as it grabbed all available network slots and slowed everything else on the PC to a crawl.

One thing I'm curious about here. I upload a track Google hasn't seen before so it needs the full upload. Some time later, SWIM uploads the exact same track and file from a different PC to a different account. Does Google recognise it the second time around and not bother with doing the complete file upload again?

good questions. Yes! This is taking forever. And is a bit disorganized. There's some mislabeling and misidentification of songs. I'm kind of waiting til the process finishes to make a judgement on the service. It's hard to complain about 50,000 free uploads.
