Re: Windows shortcuts in file browser

You are describing a perfect scenario when someone starts a music collection from scratch, as opposed to having recently switched to using MediaMonkey to deal with a 500GB collection built up over 20 years and synchronised with a backup drive. The very reason I chose MediaMonkey is the folder view w...

Windows shortcuts in file browser

My music collection is alphabetised. So, say 2 artists made a collaboration album. Instead of duplicating the entire album in both artists' folders I store the files only under Artist A and then just add shortcuts to each relevant album to the folder of Artist B. Same is useful to keep track of vari...

Re: Win MEDIA key opens new instances of MediaMonkey

I have found a workaround that I described above. I have no need in MM system tray presence anyway. What I do need is the keyboard software. Among many other wonderful things, it is the software that I use to reassign the KP_Enter as the Media key, because there's no dedicated one. In fact, I have s...

Re: Win MEDIA key opens new instances of MediaMonkey

More details and a satisfactory workaround: At some point I noticed that in the hidden section of the taskbar tray there were countless tray icons of MediaMonkey. I opened Task Manager and there were 15+ MediaMonkey background processes running. After manually killing each one, I went to MediaMonkey...

Re: Win MEDIA key opens new instances of MediaMonkey

The box Allow just one instance of MediaMonkey in Options>General is ticked. Does this remain checked after a PC restart (and the problem itself also persists)? I restarted the computer for the first time since installing MediaMonkey and at first it fixed the problem. But the issue came back a coup...

Win MEDIA key opens new instances of MediaMonkey

System: Win 10 Pro MediaMonkey standard, v. 5.04.2692 I assigned MediaMonkey as default music player in Win10 Default Apps. This allows me to use the MEDIA keyboard key to open MediaMonkey. When I used WinAmp for this, the MEDIA key would either open WinAmp or, if it's already open but minimized, th...
