@Barry4679
Many thanks for the better search string :D and thread reference. I do understand the implications to 32bit add-ons, "calling clients" & the MM SQL dll. Not to discount WinAmp at the heart of MM which is 32bit-only as well.

I also found this thread [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53933&p=277514&hilit=instant+messenger#p277332][color=#0000FF]x64 Support[/color][/url]. Posted Nov/2010, last comment/reply was July/2016.

I am rather saddened such a good product seems to have locked-in obsolescence....

Cheers
/Paul

Are there plans for, or some thinking on a 64bit MM?
This may have been discussed or answered in another board/thread. Though I didn't find anything with search/advanced search.

Search using 64*bit

According to their (co)Owner [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=458337#p458337]there is a plan[/url] to migrate.

Where they do respond respectfully on this issue, they say that there would be minimal gains unless you had more than 2 million tracks.

It does impact community development of MM5 addons somewhat.
[list][*]the Developer needs to confine themselves to old 32bit tool sets and library modules
[*] any external application that tries to attach to the MM5 applications needs to a 32 bit application
[*] MM publish only a 32bit version their custom sql collation .dll, which impacts applications which just want to access the MM database[/list]

Hi,
Better optimization when there is free resources available, possible db query lower lag, faster access to cached data, ...

is there really much benefit in native 64-bit binaries??

It's not like MM needs the extra RAM :roll:

Many thanks for the clarification.

To make it clear -- there will be a 64bit version, but since it isn't trivial, we decided to focus on the 32bit version atm and bring the 64bit version sometimes later.

Jiri

Because not all of our libraries (or 3rd party we're using) have 64bit support.

Just wondering why a new version of MM is 32bit?
