Re: Tagging confusion

I misjudged Mp3Tag. It's always the way, when you switch apps to do the same job. Everything is laid out different, and it takes a while to work out. It actually takes longer than it would if you'd not used another app for the same job in the past. Just to be really annoying, I've now found out how ...

Re: Tagging confusion

If you can bare to give another tag software a go, give MP3 tag a whirl. I've used so many taggers before and 40% just corrupt the tag, while the other 50% put in the information, but in the wrong tag fields. Sorry for very late reply. My December consisted of a water leak, no lights and a collapse...

Re: Tagging confusion

I too use EAC and I have noticed that it doesn't actually fill all the tags correctly. This is normally because whoever submited the album didn't do a very good job. Tell me about it! LOL Myself, I rip with EAC and keep any "results" it finds. Then I go into MP3Tag and check and complete ...

Re: Tagging confusion

Thanks for all the replies/suggestions. You may have enable Lookup missing information via Auto-Tag), but otherwise there is no tagging by MediaMonkey when you scan files into MediaMonkey. I do recommend disabling Infer Properties under Tools > Options > Library as that can guess tags from folder/fi...

Tagging confusion

I use 3 different apps to manage my mp3 library. Firstly, I rip my own CDs with Exact Audio Copy, alongside the accurate rip database. My EAC tagging options are as follows... Write ID3v1 tags unchecked. Write ID3v2 tags with a padding of 4kB checked. Use ID3v2.4.0 tages instead of ID3v2.3.0 tags ch...

"Error updating LAME-tag frame: can't open file for reading and writing."

I'm using MediaMonkey 4.1.31.1919 on Windows 10 32bit (which is fully updated.) I tend to rip CDs to Flac in Exact Audio Copy. Every so often, I make mp3 versions, via the "Convert Format" option in MM, set at VBR0. Recently, some files have been throwing the "Error updating LAME-tag ...

Re: Update with Lifetime license not working.

I figured it would be something like that. Iobit's software update app got a little too enthusiastic I guess. :)

Update with Lifetime license not working.

I have MediaMonkey 4.1.31.1919 and a lifetime license. Today, a third party app. informed me that there was an available update to version 5. I wasn't previously aware of this, and when I clicked on 'Check for updates', I was told I had the latest version. I then looked at the website and discovered...

Re: Better sorting for tracks that start with a number.

That doesn't surprise me.
I could live with using 10000 Maniacs instead of 10,000 Maniacs, if MM would at least put 10000 after 300 etc. :)

Re: Drag & Drop within playlists.

Firstly, apologies for taking so long to come back on this. Life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, the problem is solved. I'm embarrassed to tell you what was causing it in the end. It was an old, worn-out mouse. Simple as that. Holding the button down to drag things was failing & it kept dropp...

Re: Drag & Drop within playlists.

Yes, in Now Playing. I've restarted the computer several times since I first noticed this. It's weird. I click & hold down on a track, or selection of tracks. Every so often it works as normal, but as often as not it just highlights more tracks as I drag, or deletes everything above the one I've...

[SOLVED] Drag & Drop within playlists.

I have AutoDJ set up to keep a constantly updated playlist of 10 random tracks. I often then load complete albums I fancy hearing between every couple of random tracks, by loading them as "play last", then dragging them to wherever in the playlist I want them. Recently, dragging & drop...

Re: Media Monkey fails to start WinX

So this is odd. The System Restore failed again, so just for the hell of it I clicked the icon to launch MediaMonkey again. Nothing happened as before, but this time I just left it. After a very, very long time (well over an hour I think), a box appeared asking me if I wanted to allow MediaMonkey to...

Re: Media Monkey fails to start WinX

I'm having a similar problem. MediaMonkey (latest version) now refuses to fully start up on my laptop. If I open the task manager I can see it listed in currently running processes, using between 40 & 60% of the CPU, but it never gets any further. I don't see a splash screen because I think I tu...
