Re: Device Sync- "compatible formats" override conversion rules?

MM Version is 5.0.4.2693. Yes the conversion rules were all checked. However I just set up a new test case using a smaller subset of files (and a small USB stick) with the same settings and I'm not seeing the same behaviour, which is odd. I'll have to go get the big USB stick from the car and do a f...

Device Sync- "compatible formats" override conversion rules?

I'm using MM to convert a playlist of music files and put them on a USB memory stick to play in my car. I originally set up the auto-convert rules as follows- Supported formats on device: FLAC, MP3, OGG Auto-conversion: Format in Library Format on the target Any audio, Above 240 kbps OGG (Quality:7....

Re: Lurid colour scheme. Default theme colour still not linked to Windows theme?

Yes, very much a continuation of the MM4 philosophy... I found a skin (Code Monkey) that is designed to mimic VSCode so it is somewhat widows-like. It works reasonably well with my current dark Win 10 theme if I customise the primary theme colour and pick a smaller font. Not exactly "plug and p...

Re: Lack of the (All) nodes in the tree view cripples the Column Filter in MM5?

Ok, it turns out I was missing something. There is a teeny button in the view controls at the top of the screen that on hover shows the label "Display only the selected folder's contents". This was on by default. I don't remember this feature being present in MM4, or maybe it was and I tur...

Lack of the (All) nodes in the tree view cripples the Column Filter in MM5?

I have just switched over the MM5 and I'm just trying to get my head around some of the differences. I always thought the presence of the "(All items)" [or was it "(All)"?] subnodes in the MM4 tree browser was a bit strange. Surely selecting a folder implicitly means "all th...

Lurid colour scheme. Default theme colour still not linked to Windows theme?

I am a long-term user of Mediamonkey. Just upgraded to MM5 after years running MM4. First impression- "wow that colour scheme is shockingly bright, and not linked to the Windows desktop theme, which is pretty annoying" I am running Win10 in dark mode with an active/focus colour of dark-ish...

Re: Discogs Tagger 5.82 (Updated: 2022-06-10)

Ah, interesting. I do use Kaspersky AV. Not sure how AV would slow down an application like this rather than simply blocking it, maybe something to do with safety-checking network accesses and adding a lot of overhead? Anyway, a couple more data points- I swapped from MusicBrainz to Discogs as a dat...

Re: Discogs Tagger 5.81 (Updated: 2021-08-11)

Hanging (or extreme slowness) Much of my library was organised and tagged when the Amazon data was still available to the MM tagger, so now I'm trying to add some new CDs i'm finding the experience a bit painful. I installed Discogs Tagger 5.81 (in MediaMonkey 4.1.31.1919) but i'm finding that Disc...

Feature: Options in Auto-Organise to remove or replace problem characters in filenames

This issue has been kicking around for years, and it's still causing problems. I recently had my music server (Logitech Media Server) choke on some new files I had added, because the tags (and thence filenames in auto-organise) contained Unicode characters including- Left/right single and double quo...

Feature: Add recently-added files to "Files to Edit"

When I rip a CD I then immediately want to tag and auto-organise the files, and add album cover art. So "last ripped CD" is also inherently "next thing I want to tag", but there's no fast way to do this in MM. The workaround I use is to go into "Files to tag" and search...

Re: Auto-organise- unsupported/dangerous characters in filenames

Well, this deals with the specific cases I've found so far (except MM won't create a filename with 3 trailing dots it seems, (i.e filename...). but it's not pretty, and it won't deal with Unicode chars I haven't seen before. Auto-Organise rule that deals with- Folder/Directory Unicode "Smart&qu...
