Auto oganize by playlist issue

Post by Maka »

Hi,
I auto organize my files by Album artist and have two playlists for this.
One showing Album Artist = Various and the other showing real Album Artist = real Album Artist eg David Bowie.
Approximately every third time I start MM5, the selection "albumartist = various" in the various playlist disappears and then the files are sorted as files on computer incorrectly and the album art also disappears or becomes inconsistent.
Present Version MM5 2024.0.0.3005 but this started more than 3 versions ago.
Any thoughts?
Beside that a great product.

You're saying the Criteria is missing after a few restarts? Could an old backup of the DB be in play (poorly configured backup software)?

Does the same happen if you create a completely new AutoPlaylist with the same Criteria?

Another thing , the searchbar for search and updating catalog, the catalog is moving bouncing.

A screencast of the full MediaMonkey window may better explain exactly what you're experience and the setup you're seeing this with.
