As a practical matter, my problem is solved. I just went back through the list of skins on the website and found Magneto. It is organized exactly as I want and the colors are fine. I've switched to using it and will have my friends install it also. I'll continue to play with the original MetroM on a...

Peke, Thanks for the rapid reply, but try as I might I can't get rid of the right-hand column, nor can I insert the "now playing"' section above the player and below the file list. I know the settings have to be save somewhere, or they would disappear when I restart the program. I can't co...

Help, I've been able at some point (blindy moving things about) to modify Metro and another skin to show what looks like a two column view, where the right-hand column contains a stack that shows the column browser, the information pane, the now playing all above the Media Monkey player. I have no i...

No - Windows out of the box, unaltered. At this point I'm back to a usable version. It doesn't quite look the same, but I can change the skins and still have MM function. I'll continue to "play". If I find anything else useful, I'll post back.

Well I made some progress. I turned off skinning when given the choice during installation and functionality has returned. I still would like to use another skin, but any attempt results in program freezing on restart. I do notice that trying to apply a different skin does not seem to work - the bac...

MM stalls during startup. I tried re-installation over the current version with no luck. I removed customizations - no luck. Program starts - after reinstall opens to the web page as expected. Selecting anything else just gets a spinning wheel. I do have backups of my c: drive. Should I try just ove...

Running 4.1.18.1852. I decided that the quickest path was to delete the database and start over - only loss would be a few dozen playlists and the need to re-classify lots of music as "Classical Music". That's what I've done and, so far, MM is back to its very useful self. Thanks for the q...

I don't know what changed - but suddenly every time I open/close MM it starts to rebuild the database. Its a VERY large database, so for all practical purposes I no longer can use the program. Any clues? What information do you need?

Lowlander, Thanks for the quick response. Strange to report - the problem went away. As far as I know, I changed nothing. For the record the path was Tools -> Options -> Media Sharing, select MediaMonkey Server, select Options, and then Shared Content Tab. The latter tab was the one that did not res...

The other day my AV receiver stopped playing playlists via DLNA - reporting that there was no data. I found that when setting up the latest set of playlists to be streamed I had just clicked on the highest level of each tree, expecting that doing so would automagically select all of the lower level ...

Is there some non-printing, "invisible" character I can insert into the Album Artist field that will kepp MM 3.2.3 from periodically deciding to auto-fill the latter with the Artist name(s).
