Album Tag Problem

[sallenmd87]

My DB got corrupted and I did not have a recent backup due to an error on my part. So I started a new DB from scratch. When I add/rescan my 240,000 tracks, MM changes the album names to the track number for each track, thus turning a 10-track album into 10 albums named T001-T010. It does these for just over 100,000 of the tracks. This is despite the fact that I have verified with the latest version of Mp3tag that each track has a proper album name tag (and all the other important tags). Anyone have any idea why MM would be doing this?

I should mention that these are M4a files and they were displaying properly in the corrupted database. I saved that database and they are still displayed correctly.

Disable the Infer File Properties option under Tools > Options > Library.

Thanks. That got me part of the way there. Now it's simply leaving the Album field blank.

You could try: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... abase+sync to copy corrupt db to new db and see if it works.

Thanks. I actually paid for the deluxe version, but it keeps erroring, even if I only try to import the playlists, so I suspect that the database corruption is preventing that sync. My next step is going to be to de-install MediaMonkey anr re-install to see if that might resolve the problem with MM not seeing the album name tags.
