Okay, so here's the latest. Installed portable version of MediaMonkey 5.0.1.2419 RC-4 (debug). Was eventually able to get the Exception Error while trying to Sync from Spotify and submitted it.
I was able to get a (somewhat) successful Sync. All Song records were brought over, but after I closed that window it started a Syncing Spotify process that was being displayed as a msg in the lower left corner. At the point where it was trying to copy/update playlists, an error occurred that brought up a window that indicated the error was with creating "Playlist". I saved the log, closed the window and everything else seemed fine.
In looking at the Spotify "Playlists" that came over, several had the same name. In Spotify I have Playlists under Folders. For Instance, I have a folder called "WCS", that contains several playlists and a few more folders. In Creating the name of a playlist, if you could include the Parent folders as part of the name, it would make it easier to tell specifically which playlist it is when playlists have the same base name. For example:
Playlist "100 BPM" in "WCS" folder becomes "WCS/100 BPM" (you could replace the slash with something else if you prefer).
Playlist "100 BPM" in "LATIN" subfolder of "WCS" becomes "WCS/LATIN/100 BPM"
Might be problematic if someone had long Folder/Song names and/or folder levels. But I thought I'd mention.
And I'm just wondering, has anyone else indicated that being able to tag a song with multiple Genre's is desirable?
Some good news now.
Since I've had some more time to work with MM5 now, I would like to say to everyone at MediaMonkey what a great job you have done. For me, getting the Genre list issue resolved was huge (thanks Peke). I tried some of the other Skins and the Metro M (Classic) is perfect for me. My sight isn't what is was years ago, but the colors, scrollbars, re-positioning of controls and elements in the bottom section all make MM easier to use. With regards to Spotify, even with just the 30 sec clips, this enhancement provides a tool that will be so helpful to me for cleaning up my Spotify playlists.
Again, Thanks to all.
Ludek - If you are still willing to code up that sample addon in MM5, that would just cement my transition to MM5. I do believe that there are many dance studios, and even more Ballroom Dance DJ's who would switch from whatever they are using to MM5 just to get this feature. I will promote MM5 to others. Thanks.
