@lazygamereviews Picked up one of these camera's. You can't set the date past 2020, so I guess they didn't expect them to last this long. I did capture a few pictures. #digipres https://t.co/A21KxUelIx

New TrID v2.45 available!
Major speedup - now can use the StringZilla library, if present, for faster searches: 2x/4x is typical. Win64 package include it, for Python it takes just a "pip install stringzilla". https://t.co/cL0TmNXSzx

[RetroTech Chris @RetroTechChris]

I'm looking forward to checking this out! Seamless copy and paste, as well as printing to modern printers!

Thought ripping CDs was a solved problem? Think again.

One drive: good.
Multiple drives: better.

Released a new, improved and cross-platform version of TrID, coded in Python.
It's now up to 8 times faster on big files! 2x/4x faster is typical.
Available both as a .py script and as a single executable for Windows x86-64.
