Hi jimahrens: MM identifies the drive upon which music files reside by the drive serial number, not the label or drive letter. So if you move files to a new drive, it can cause the problem that we both are seeing. There are several threads on this topic, including: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/v...

I have a basic usage question, please. I copied my MM database and music track library from one computer to another. The drive letter and paths are identical. However, tracks are grayed out. When I Add/Rescan tracks, I get duplicate track listings in MM. Instructions for this script say: "Selec...

I have a similar problem. I cloned the MM database from an old PC drive to a new PC drive, then configured MM on the new PC. Then I had MM add/rescan everything. This resulted in duplicates of all tracks in MM. From reading these threads, I believe the problem is that the database contains serial nu...

Thanks, Lowlander. Excellent response - it filled in some gaps in my understanding. By the way, it appears that Tools > Advanced Tag Management > Synchronize Tags will not write a tag frame to the audio (Flac) file if the content of the tag is empty. In other words, there has to be data in the MM ta...

Hi: I have a library that's 95% Flac and 5% mp3. I am trying to determine where the MM rating field is stored. Is it stored in the MM database? In Flac tag frames? Both? Ideally, the rating should be stored in a Flac tag frame. But when using MP3Tag and Kid3, I do not see it. Is there a way to force...

Got it - thanks very much! I had altered my display columns, so I knew about that at one time

Lowlander: Sorry, I am confused. In MM -> Album & Artist view, I see these columns:
Title | Artist | Album | Date | Genre | Rating | and a few more

You said there are two fields: Artist and Album Artist. I only see Artist. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi: I have the following structure in Artist & Album view in the MM database: Peter Kater (artist) ---- How the West Was Lost (album - indented) ---- Pursuit of Happiness (album) Peter Kater & R. Carlos Nakai (artist) ---- Natives (album) For purposes of organization, I am inclined to consol...

Perfect!

Thanks,

Fred

Lowlander: Thank you for your reply. I was wrong - everything is working correctly! Summary ------------ I checked and Tools > Options > Tags & Playlists is set. I think it was not set in the past, which caused the problems I encountered. I ran some tests to confirm that MM is indeed working cor...

Hi: I rip using Exact Audio Copy and compress as FLAC. When ripping, I grab track titles from FreeDB. Then in MM, I Add/Rescan the new tracks to add them to the MM database. In the MM Album Artist and Title display, I end up with some misspelled entries like: Claudia Villa - track 1 - track 2 Claudi...

Hi: Under options -> Player -> Display Format for Long Titles, there are two options: Scroll and Bounce. Both are distracting when I am trying to work. I would like to suggest a two more options: Static (where the title field is left justified and nothing in the title field moves). Smaller (where th...

Hi: Ok, I installed and ran the script identified above. But I could not get it to work correctly. So I found this thread: How to Tell MediaMonkey Your Files Are on a New Drive http://www.plasticsun.com/GiantInternational/Misc/MediaMonkeyNewDrive.htm I followed the procedures and edited the MM datab...

Thank you! I will try this approach within two days. I'll post here if it does not work.

Thanks again,

Fred

Hmmm. I viewed a track in MM, then right clicked, then selected properties. The path of the track is: [Music1]\Music\Music Library\... followed by the rest of the path. But that's the label on the drive connected to the desktop. The laptop music drive label is: [Bkp]\Music\Music Library\... I checke...
