Limit of the number of audio files that MM can track

Post by flipside57 »

What is the overall limit of the number of audio files that MM can track? I can't seem to have it show more than 285,726 files. I have much more than that total. How do I get MM to recognize them?

There are users with more than a million.

Which version of MediaMonkey and have you ran File > Maintain Library with complete optimization checked lately.

It is actually File - Maintain Library, then Optimize Database (Complete). I had selected to optimize (Quick). That hung the system. I tried to clear the database and then recheck and it gets to even smaller number of files and stops climbing. Please help!!

How do you recheck? Are you talking about Add/Rescan Files or about displaying files in MediaMonkey?

Add/Rescan files in lower left corner.

So Add/Rescan Files fails when scanning? In that case a corrupt file may be the problem. Does it always hang on the same file?


You could capture the scan in a debug log (step 4b) and attach it to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... p?f=1&t=69
