I did as you described and my library finally looks right (yay!). I then noticed an audio stutter problem I didn’t have before, but thankfully, it went away after a system reboot. Returning to the duplicate tracks issue. My MM5 database has the same problem, but the Update File Location add-on is in...

No, the add-on definitely changed the paths of the tracks that were on the old drive, and each track exists in only one physical place. Here’s the structure of Music-->Location in my database backup before running the add-on: New drive --Track 1 Old drive --Track 1 (ghosted) After running the add-on...

Thanks. I did this – turned off file monitoring, restored my database backup, ran the add-on, turned monitoring (at startup only) back on. Initially, everything looked fine – the duplicate entries were gone. Left it running and an hour or so later, I noticed the duplicates were back (except, oddly, ...

I ran the Update Location of Files add-on. It got rid of the ghosted tracks from my old drive, but now every track is listed twice. A Knowledge Base entry says it’s because MM already had the files in their new location. o If this happened you can remove the files from the new location (make sure Fo...

Thanks for the tip. Installing this add-on per its instructions (double-clicking on it) launched MediaMonkey 5 on my PC, with which it’s incompatible. That in turn had the unfortunate effect of spreading the duplicate file problem to my MM5 library via file monitoring. Meanwhile, a simpler possible ...

I replaced the failing hard drive that contained my music collection with a new one that I copied its contents to before swapping. I kept the same drive letter (D:) but gave the new drive a new name. MediaMonkey 4 automatically recognized my music tracks on the new drive with this path: D:\Users\me\...

Ah. I went to Settings>Sound>App volume and device preferences and MM wasn’t in the list. I’m reading Windows 10 The Missing Manual and it says the capability to adjust levels individually by app was added recently and not all apps use it yet. I didn’t realize it only shows apps currently running --...

Last spring’s major Windows 10 update enabled the ability to set the volume for apps individually. I’d love to see this capability added to MM. I always have turn my PC’s master volume up when using it and turn it down afterward because it’s lower than my other apps.

MM reported it can’t find 70 files when I did a file scan. I checked, and they’re all present in the folders they’re supposed to be in. But I discovered that somehow, the “hidden” attribute of most (but not all) of these 70 random files had gotten ticked -- I have no idea how. I made sure the hidden...

Ah – I didn’t realize I could remove a Location sub-node; I thought it just showed the whole system. After doing that, not only did the duplicate files disappear, so did the file monitoring problem. All fixed – thanks, Lowlander!

Hi, I manually copied my music files from one drive to another and then ran the (free) script to change my library location to the new drive. Both drives are still in the system. MM now recognizes the files at their new location, but it didn’t “forget” the old location like I wanted. E.g., if I sear...

Hi, OK, I’ve got the script installed and have set almost all of my preferences. I’m wondering if there’s any control over filename format. My music collection uses the format Artist -Trackname, so instead of “01Chvches - Track 1.mp3,” I’d prefer the filename to be “Chvches - Graffiti.mp3.” Is that ...

MM must be open if you want to install an AddOn. So it wasn't a fault installing the AddOn while MM is running. If you start MM now, do you see that Discogs Tagger is still installed? If so, please try to uninstall it again. If you try again to install then, what error message you see exactly? Aha ...

Hi, I'm getting an error msg when I try to install this addon in Windows 10 (latest version). When I double-click on the mmip file, MM launches, I choose Install Now in the Product Installation window, and it fails with the error "Discogs Tagger was not installed." Oddly, it was installed ...

Folders are only shown in Library nodes (Music, Classical Music, etc.) if files in them have been scanned into the Library. Aha -- that was the issue! This initially posed a Catch-22 for me, though -- I wanted to move the files within MM so it would know I put them there, but I couldn't do that if ...
