Re: Easiest way to join audio files ?

Get the extension script Linked Tracks. It does not join the several tracks into one. Instead Linked Tracks sends all the linked tracks in order to Now Playing when any one of the tracks is selected to play. But it is only available in MM4; it doesn't work in MM5. You'll find it here https://www.med...

Re: Incorrect handling of multi-disc albums

Unless something is wrong with Landlord's system there should be no need for special playlists or workarounds to get multiple disc albums to play properly. And, for me there isn't. I have many multi-disc albums. For everyone that I tried (I don't have all day to do this and didn't try them all) when...

Re: Weird track numbers

My trials suggest that disc number isn't a problem in MMA. Here's what I found (all albums by Thelonious Monk) At the It Club (2 disc album). Disc numbers 1 & 2 used for all tracks as appropriate. After sync to MMA, in the list for the album all tracks have correct numbers (i.e., 1., 2., 3., etc...

Re: Android Genres don't work in classical music

I would hope that it is being more than just "looked at"; it should be a requirement. How can you have a music player missing such a basic function? Other programs - I have Poweramp and GoneMAD - handle genres for classical albums just fine; even the freebie Google Play Music does so. As f...

Re: Possible to add multiple tags for a single field ?

A semi-colon - ; - is the standard delimiter in all fields in the MP3 system which MM uses.

From my amateur viewpoint, this looks like MM is getting the multi-value separator wrong?

How can I get MM and Picard to tag things the same way?
Why do you think MM is getting it wrong? MM uses a semi-colon to separate multiple values of a tag category in all (most?) tag fields.

Re: trouble importing playlist from Catalina music app

Also MM misleadingly reports 0 files imported when it actually does import a playlist (which is, after all, a file). You'll have to look through the list of imported playlists to see if it actually did get imported.

Re: MM4 Gold: simple questions

No, copyright protected files can't be converted by MediaMonkey. Aaargh! Damn iTunes! How do people get around this then? There are apps ($) that claim to convert M4P to a usable format; I had mixed success with their trial versions. Other people have used iTunes Match ($) to do this. The way that ...

Re: Recommendation

GoneMad recognizes MM playlists and ratings. And, as recent comments demonstrate, it produces a better audio output than MMA. Of course you will still need MMA to sync the files; I don't think there is any other app that will read the data from MMW. AS to what you might be missing with MMW, I'd sugg...

A better choice is to use a better ripping program, such as dbpoweramp or exact audio copy (the latter is free). Both give you more option...

Re: M4P Files No Longer Play in Version 1896

After exploring several suggested approaches, the one I found that works most consistently and reliably is to use iTunes to burn a disc as a music disc, not as an MP3 disc (iTunes has to be involved to deal with the DRM). Then read that music disc into MM. MM will not always find the disc in freedb ...

Re: MM Android poor audio

Can I infer by your response that I shouldn't expect MM to incorporate decent sound quality at some point? If you look at what they have done with MM5 (or not done), I think you would conclude that moving the dial on audio quality is not high on their list of things to do. When programs like JRiver...

Re: MM Android poor audio

You can still use MMA to sync with your desktop. Poweramp will find the files you synced.
