Corrupted Database

Hi,

I was syncing to my walkman and midway through the sync stalled and the files in the library appeared blank. When I restarted I get the error "Library database can't be opened, would you like to create a new local library?"

I have the corrupted mm5.db file - how can I see what's corrupted and get it repaired?

I really don't want to lose all my playlists.

Is the database in the default location, or did you setup a custom/external drive/network location for it?

Does the problem persist after a PC restart?

Hi yes, the database is in the default location, it has not been moved. I have restarted multiple times and even reinstalled mediamonkey and it is still showing as corrupted.

My library is very large - would that be an issue, is there a limitation?

Feel free to compress (zip/rar) and upload your database file (MM5.DB) to a free file hosting service (DropBox, RapidShare, FileDropper, MediaFire, ...) and share the link to the file with us for analyzing your database.
