Re: update audio file and preserve database information for

Thanks for all the suggestions and help :) The Advanced Duplicate Find & Fix addon seems to be what you're looking for. That was almost exactly what I needed, thanks. Always forget to check the addon section before I start thinking of writing my own lol. Here's what I do, and it has worked flawl...

Re: Changing track numbers

You can use mp3tag to change the track number format and then rescan the files with the option to update file properties from tag information enabled (options>library).

update audio file and preserve database information for it

I am replacing some old mp3 files with new lossless ones, is there a way to do this in MM (i.e. change the file associated with db entry)? Changing the file path just resulted in the old file being renamed and locate moved/missing files doesn't "find" the new files. I'm thinking of backing...

Re: MM4 hangs on Windows7 64-bit

Can you provide more information about what MM is doing (or you are trying to do) when it hangs?

For example:

1. Start MM
2. Select song from library
3. Right click song>Play Now
>> MM hangs

Some thing like that will help in understanding the problem.

Re: music files

The auto organizer has basic if-else support so you could try something like this:

Folders for flac and mp3
Music/flac/...
Music/mp3/...

main directory: Music
sub-directory: $if(<extension>=flac, flac, mp3)/...

I might have made a mistake so verify paths before committing.

Error messages when things go wrong

After I uninstalled quicktime MM would open to splash screen and then exit with no error message. Luckily my guess that not having quicktime installed anymore was the problem was correct however I think error messages indicating what is wrong when errors are encountered would be nice to have in futu...

Re: Use MM as UPnP Client (remote server)

Awesome; MM isn't my program of choice for nothing :D

For the record I have a found a temporary solution by using bubblesoft UPnP server (http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/) and foobar.

Re: Use MM as UPnP Client (remote server)

Thanks, I was afraid of that.

I seriously do not understand why no one implements remote UPnP access, it is a lot more useful than local in my opinion.

Use MM as UPnP Client (remote server)

Hey, I have MM running with the UPnP/DLNA server setup on my home computer and I want to be able to connect to it from my laptop. Is it possible to connect MM to a remote UPnP server or is it LAN/auto discover only like almost everything else? What I have looked at/tried so far: WMP: LAN only Kinsky...

Is there a (event) log?

Hey I accidentally deleted a bunch of songs from my library (had it set to "delete from library and system" instead of "remove from playlist only" and didn't notice), is there a log that will tell my the filename/path of the file's I deleted? I know I can add/rescan to add them b...

Re: WASAPI Exclusive mode tweak

Sadly it doesn't work. The systems thinks there's two devices but apparently one just overwrites the other lol.

Maybe I'll get myself some sort of USB converter for the holidays :D

Re: WASAPI Exclusive mode tweak

Okay maybe the problem is that once programs have been kicked from the device their shared mode accesses isn't restored after the device is released from exclusive mode. I can't confirm that push mode releases the device when playback is stopped but I can confirm that after closing MM the problem pe...

Re: WASAPI Exclusive mode tweak

That's why I was suggesting a way to make it work better. I can't notice any delay when a device switches from exclusive to shared mode or vice versa so having MM release the device when it's not actively streaming to it shouldn't have much of an impact on the user experience or system as far as I c...

WASAPI Exclusive mode tweak

I've been trying out the WASAPI output in exclusive mode and doesn't like to play nice with other programs that require the use of audio devices. It will relinquish control over an audio device when another program requests for use but, as it should, it will also take exclusive use the audio device ...

Shoot you're right, those are MM3 default skins. Sorry.
