Re: Updates on the MAC OS Version

Yip. Agree that Apple Music is not an enjoyable experience, especially for someone use to focusing on their own music and genres; having Apple constantly maneuvering to sell you the latest "hotness" is annoying. As for MMM, I also look forward to it. I hit the repeat limit on the free version of ...

Re: Updates on the MAC OS Version

Most of the music players I've tested have significant problems with curating and managing your files in a coherent and useful way. Some even can't do smart playlists, or playlists at all without a lot of work on the user's part. And when importing your existing files, they leave out metadata, most ...

Re: Updates on the MAC OS Version

Perhaps MM should post a survey link to this post, or send out an email to all registered users and ask if a MAC version is wanted and if so why, how likely you are to purchase, etc. etc. I'm sure they can come up with a good 5 question survey for people. Gauging interest in a forum is one thing ...

Re: Updates on the MAC OS Version

I tried crossover and the install of MM5 failed. Then a whole mess of other issues popped up and I just stopped. I'm currently using JRiver. Audirvana required my email just to test the program (immediate nope from me). And Swinsian is too new. They have limited smart playlist features to take ...

Re: Updates on the MAC OS Version

Agreed. I just need something to manage my music collection. I don't need streaming services and all the bells and whistles that MM5 currently has. I don't watch video through MM either. (I have the Gold, btw.) Maybe MM should do a poll of features most used by users to help focus the development of ...

Re: Best Practices for Script Writing

I stand corrected. Thanks. I guess I wasn't reading as clearly as I thought. I'll give it a shot now that I have examples and such to examine.

Appreciate the patience and replies.

Re: Best Practices for Script Writing

Thank you. I didn't know that was there. I'll download MM5 and take a look.
It still would be nice to have these online as part of the documentation though.

Just a thought.
Thanks.

Re: Best Practices for Script Writing

Thanks for the links on skype. You mentioned the errors are occurring because objects aren't being used in the variables and so they are being wiped when the script is reloaded. Since this looks like a complete rewrite of the base code is required, I'd rather not spend time using vbs for this since ...

A little push is all..

If I missed a critical page somewhere that addresses the below post, apologies. Please point me to it. I have coding experience, but sometimes jumping into a new platform isn't clear. It would be helpful if there were fully functional script examples for vbs and javascript. Yes, I've read the ...

Audio won't switch to headphones

Is this a MediaMonkey issue or a windows issue? With MM open I'm playing music through my speakers on the computer (doesn't matter if it's a notebook or desktop). I flip on the blue-tooth headphones. My computer shows that the headphones are now the default source for audio, but MM still is playing ...

Thank you for the reply. I've read that page. I'm assuming you have to put this inside your vbs script. Yes? As per your reply, I've tried it. At the start of my script. '''''''''''''''''''''''''' DEBUG ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Script.Reload(Script.ScriptPath ...

Best Practices for Script Writing

What are the best practices you'd recommend for writing scripts (currently using VBS) inside MediaMonkey? I ask because the current process I'm using is: 1 - Write some code. Usually a single function/sub. 2 - Add to mmip file. 3 - Uninstall current add-on. 4 - Install new add-on (hopefully without ...

Re: Genre Finder 5.0 - Updated 05/08/2012

It looks like something else is going on with this script. It stopped working for me as well. I've got no new genres found for a while now.
Maybe lastfm made some sort of change on the backend to stop talking to outside requests?

GenrePicker: This addon allows the user to quickly select from a list of genres, in a panel displayed in MediaMonkey, and have the selected genre saved to the mp3 tags of the currently playing song. Once installed, there are now two new additions to the menu items: EDIT: Under Edit there is now a ...

Re: GenrePicker Addon - Documentation

Hello, Sorry to hear that. Not entirely sure what could be the issue. I only experienced those issues during scripting. The version I have now, and uploaded does not throw any errors on my system. If others are getting this also please let me know. Note, a song must be playing in order for the ...
