Hello, Still working on migrating from iTunes. As I clean my data base I make a few changes to the iTunes database. I have two songs where the song title is greyed out. Couldn't play them. The path was not correct as the title changed. I corrected the path manually. They play now but the song is sti...

Data you see in iTunes are in Apple protected library that MM can't see and as you pointed exported XML maybe missing something, while tags in actual files are non existent due the fact iTunes do not save them :( Not sure if you have tried to re export XML and manually search in it for the affected...

OK - thanks. I have spent the last few days scrubbing the iTunes Database. I cleared the MM database. I closed MM. Created a new XML file in iTunes. Closed it, Then opened both MM and itunes. Then in MM I went File > Add/Rescan . And was very careful in picking which folders to scan. I picked the it...

I see now... I think. You can only get information that is in the file name. It isn't reading MP3 tags for that file name. So the file name has in order... artist, album, track # and title. So you write a mask in that order. Not sure what the backslash does but seems necessary. I can't get genre and...

Tags are not fixed. DB is FUBAR. Here is an image of what Auto tool shows me. Maybe I am doing it wrong. As you can see for the Album "Live", Title, Artist, Album, Genre, are all wrong. I don't even see album artist as a catagory. I also go irritated with navigating around the audiobooks s...

Auto tag from filename did not help. Fixing it in iTunes looks iffy. I can fix the ones where the CD was labeled compilation and it isn't. But not true compilations. If I change the artist name to "Various Artist" at the album level, it will be moved out of the compilation folder and into ...

No, 1) Use File > Clear database 2) Scan the files where iTunes had them located 3) Let it import from iTunes This should get you the tags from iTunes for the files. The problem then becomes, do you want to have 2 copies of the files or migrate from iTunes keeping 1 copy. Tools > Auto-Organize File...

I just don't know how to do that. I have converted the field so I can't show you what it was before I converted it. So I tried to show what is in the iTunes database. I didn't point MM to that database. I pointed it to a copy of that database and it has now been converted using the find and replace ...

This sounds like a plan. Many thanks. I will consult after the two databases exist and the tags/info is verified as correct.

Do playlist auto-populate as well? Or is that something I need to recreate?

I want to have two copies for now. So does MM put the database where I specify?

Once I have a separate database, the audiobooks have to go. As well as a lot of the trash folders.

When I said copy/paste the Comment field, I meant that you open the problematic tracks (that cause the "|") in the Properties dialog in MediaMonkey, copy the Comment field as text and paste it here in the post. Did you notice an empty line on the beginning of the Comment field in tracks t...

So the solution here is to start over? With these steps? 1. Uninstall MM. 2. Copy iTunes media file over completely to where the MM database should live. Including the TWO xml files. 3. Reinstall MM and point to the iTunes files. 4. Rename the itunes media folder. 5. Remove trash from folder. There ...

About half the songs are missing data - album, artist, rating, genre, group. I read that one should put the iTunes xml file in the database and answer "yes" to the question about getting information from iTunes. I did that and rescanned but it didn't help. It seems like it is certain album...

Yes, you can. It is visible as Hex characters in the Comment field on your first screenshot. I suppose that you got that "|" thing with tracks having an empty line before ITUNNORM and/or ITUNSMPB tag in the Comment, but I cannot be sure until I see the original content of your Comment fie...

Hi, Also MediaMonkey Android should work with Family library . NOTE: If you just want to sync devices there is no limitation on how many devices can be synced with one instance of MMW, but as Lowlander said if you want to use PRO features you need to have valid license on both devices. As best I ca...
