Thank you

First off, thank you for Mediamonkey, it has worked great for me for many, many years. The tagging features have been great. I just tried V5....I might need to give it some time to get used to it :> But it's wonderful that it is so easy to run V4 and V5. After getting a shock at what V5 was like, I ...

Re: Cover image as wallpaper

It's been a long while since I looked at this script. It has just kept on working for me. But I have stuck with XP so no change since 2005! Don't know what the definitive answer is for it. Seems like there are variables such as Active Desktop or not, XP/Win7/Vista, your existing screensaver/desktop ...

Here is how I display the album art of the currently playing song as a tiled wallpaper. The wallpaper changes as the songs change. The album art MUST be embedded in the mp3 file, it does not handle art stored as separate files. Download the Irfanview graphics viewer program from http://www.irfanview...

Sorry, wasn't logged in for that last message. Just wanted to mention that I also moved my external hard drive and the Zen to USB ports directly on the motherboard instead of in a shared USB hub. I don't know how much that will help but by not having both of these high-usage devices sharing ONE USB ...

Yep, I have put off asking this because every seach I have done looking for a similar solution found all those people trying to do the opposite!!!!!! I just like a little breather after a song I really like. Especially since I almost always randomize my playlist. It can be jarring to end a slow song...

Pause between song

Any ideas on this? I want to have a short pause of say 1 or 2 seconds between songs being played back. But.... - Only pause between songs if it's a song change during playlist playback - No pause when I manually change songs - No fading, just end the playback normally, pause a second or two, then co...

I don't run with active desktop turned on. I did try to use it before with jpg cover images but I could not get it to tile the image. I tried making a web page that tiled the image but I still did not like how active desktop displayed the wallpaper. Using a bitmap image with active desktop turned of...

Cover image as wallpaper

Thanks to the new functionality in MM 2.5, here is an improved method to display the current songs cover image as your desktop wallpaper, changing when the song changes. It does require the IrfanView graphics program to convert the cover graphic to a BMP file. http://www.irfanview.com (When the upda...

Just for reference in case anybody else gets a "10057 Socket is not connected" error while auto-tagging, it was due to AdMuncher, an ad blocking html filter I use. Even with AdMuncher turned off I got the error, I had to actually close AdMuncher.

Socket Error # 10057

I get this message when I Auto-Tag from Amazon: "Couldn't show results: Socket Error # 10057 Socket is not connected." If I keep clicking Search enough times I do get back results sometimes. Also, when I do choose a match, I see the large cover image in the search window but the small cove...

I just tried it and Active Desktop does not tile the image, it just puts one image over on the right side of the desktop. Is there a way to have AD tile the image?

I have finally stumbled upon and cobbled together a way to display MediaMonkey's currently playing song's cover art as the desktop tiled wallpaper. Getting the cover art to display as tiled wallpaper requires: o A small MediaMonkey script o A small dos bat file o A small Python language script (must...
