Hi,

Do you have any specific steps you do to make MM crash?

See my signature on how to add image to post.

Hi,
Can you please supply same file where one is untouched by MM and One written by MM along screenshots of both file properties?

EDIT NOTE: MM is not capable to calculate BPM and relies on external apps for calculation. You can edit and save BPM tag only manually.

Hi,
There is no known script.
I use Music Tree node -> Files to Edit -> Unknown Artwork for all missing Album Art.

99.99% of Devices anyway only show Cover Art anyway. I keep big scanned Images of my CDs in subfolder not added to Library in order not to bloat it.

I checked what it do and it uses Windows native commands to unlock file eg. release file lock to locked app. Most of apps support it and you do not need to end processes.

Hi,
MM respect that too.

My best guess would be to disable Adding albumart.jpg in device profile

Hi,
None of the images on MM site have Apple branding and some other manufacturers have similar designs.

Hi,
There is easier way. I personally use https://lockhunter.com/ where I can right click on File/Folder to check if it is locked and what app locks it.

Hi,

Respecting .NoMedia is up to manufacturer to follow standard or not. In the past Samsung was known to not respect that by default.

It must be something related to your device settings or we would be getting much more reports like yours.

Hi, If either Album or Album Artists is present then MM will handle those tracks as tracks belonging to unknown Album (case Album is missing) or same album with multiple Album artists. Where both cases are bad in terms of Album Art. Best solution is that both fields be empty as then MM tries to hand...

Hi,
If I remember correctly playlists are only visible when you sync with Sony software or under other menu in playlist or similar.

I had Sony NW-A40 long time ago and remember there was additional step to load external (non Sony app synced) playlists.

Hi,
If other app uses exclusive access then MM will be blocked to show available settings Unfortunately it is teh downside of using exclusive access.

Personally I would not have that enabled by default on OS driver level, but that is me.

Hi,
I checked and that site contains lots of Independent Artist album arts, so it is very possible that some of global Album arts auto lookup point to that site. It depends on your music collection and lookup settings.

Hi, if I can safely migrate to MM5 or if I have to fix/check something before. May ask you to open support ticket as there is a way to do a non destructive test run on MM5/2024 and see if it resolves issues you have. As MM uses SQLite local DB it is very strange that you get so much SQL query errors...

Hi,
Enjoy, we are not going anywhere.

Hi, No it is not possible :( I was trying to make backup of MM5.DB in second portable MM and create Auto Playlists to compare last played dates of tracks to filter, but unfortunately there is no way you can tell if one track was 9 times during travel and others plated only 3 times. It could be a goo...
