Re: A solution! to keeping your DB on DropBox

The whole network drive thing is slightly more complicated on MM5 because the UI won't let you mount such a path. So I edited the INI file, turning this: [AutoScan] autoRemoveDeadLinks=0 autoRemoveAttributes=1 FolderCount=2 Path1=C:\Users\rlpowell\Dropbox\Music\ Subfolders1=1 ScanOnStart1=1 Constant...

Re: A solution! to keeping your DB on DropBox

Ah! The reason I had the music in a "network" share is that MediaMonkey (including MediaMonkey5, I'm sad to say) sees drives by their drive IDs and not by their drive letter, so if you have your music in C:\whatever, as soon as you run MM with the synced database on another computer, it *f...

Re: A solution! to keeping your DB on DropBox

Dear Past Me, I sure wish you'd explained *why* you're using the localhost network share instead of just pointing to C:\Users\rlpowell\Dropbox\Music\ , because current me has absolutely no idea. Also, on the off chance anyone actually wants to try this: 1. Portable Mode install makes the whole thing...

Re: USB sync: changes in file location settings ignored, unless you remove the MediaMonkey folder from the USB

FWIW, I'm seeing similar behaviour with USBMass pointed at a "fake" M: drive I made (the goal was to sync to a local folder); the locations for any given file were saved no matter what I changed, including deleting and re-downloading the USBMass DLL. I wasn't actually able to get MM to sto...

In 2021: MM DB On Dropbox?

I've been running with my MM4 DB in Dropbox using a setup similar to https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-install-config/mediamonkey-in-a-shared-networked-environment/ for many years. Now that MM5 supports Dropbox for music, I'm wondering if it also supports Dropbox for the...

Randomize but avoid adjacent same-artist/album tracks?

Is there any way (even with an addon or writing my own script) to randomize a long list such that no two adjacent tracks are from the same artist or the same album if possible? (What I *really* want is to be able to do this as a sort order for an auto-playlist, so I can get the same behaviour on my ...

As far as I can tell, that option makes no difference to my situation, but it's been a while since I ran without auto-kill.

Re: Sync always has to wait for other background operations

I do see that there is long synchronization with deep verification of all data. This can occur when 1. playback of some track fails. Do you have some tracks failed to play ? 2. short data management service failed so deep verification was started. But the log is not long enough to see it. About tha...

Re: Sync always has to wait for other background operations

MMA 1.3.0.0684 , but this has been true for every version I can remember, certainly every version in the last 6 months. Android currently 7.1.1, but again it's been this way for ages. I do not use an SD card. The loading circle is typically showing when this happens. It is typically showing nearly 1...

[SOLVED] Sync always has to wait for other back operations

Ok, not quite *always*, but, uh, let's say 9 times out of 10, when I hit sync on MMA, I am told that "Sync is waiting for other background operations to complete". If I let my phone go dark, this will happen every time, it seems, although I am less certain of this. The only way I can find ...

Re: Tracks fail to save on sync

Confirmed fixed in 665 (despite that my broken song had an album).

Also, this led to the amusing experience of syncing from my laptop to my phone on the commuter bus. :D

Re: Tracks fail to save on sync

Same problem; just one file, but it's the one file I just added so very frustrating :D

Let me know if I should provide any info; I currently have nothing new to add to what people have been saying already.
