Re: Couple of Questions

Instead of an addon, I think this should have been a configurable option so I can turn it on or off without installing any addons.

I think lots of basic users would prefer not to bother with addons for such a simple functionality request.

only sayin'

Re: Easier way to convert album art image files to album art tags?

Make sure you check the option to embed where possible, and look at some of the images in properties, artwork where it will say at the bottom "stored in tag" to confirm.

Once stored in tag, you can safely delete all the album.arts from your computer.

Re: How do I stop MediaMonkey from arbitrarily suggesting album art?

This seems wrong to me. If he turns off the background metadata lookup of artwork and artist images, should that not prevent what he is seeing? Why would there be unrequested image lookup happening when this is turned off? Can we have a feature request to turn off any remaining lookup of artwork whi...

Re: [2824] - Playing Now showing in alphabetical order, playing shuffled

I posted this in a new thread, because it is now evident it is unrelated to the OP post, the original title is not descriptive of the bug, and it remains so after restart, so please review and confirm???

Re: [REQ] Date Acquired Suggestion

I think Added represents the date this track was first scanned into this particular database, and thus does not attach to the track itself. It could have a different date added on a different install of MM, ie portable on the same computer. What we are looking for is a "Date Acquired" whic...

Re: [REQ] Date Acquired Suggestion

I think this misses the point. The OP would like this date to be tagged to the track automatically on first scan. This would enable it to survive any data base losses or damage, or transfer to other computer without existing database. The issue might be to make sure any acquired tracks do not alread...

Re: MMW5 - Correcting Artist name in MMW Database

You are in the wrong place, I think.

You need to edit the tags for the tracks, and then autoorganize should relocate them in your file system to match.

Move and rename is the thing to do.

You don't want two copies, do you?

Re: MMW5 - Correcting Artist name in MMW Database

If the album artist tag is showing as unknown, then the folder location will be set accordingly, based on your settings for auto-organize. So, in theory correcting the album artist for this set of tracks should also correct the storage folder location. You can do this by selecting the entire album c...

Re: Google Window hangs MM

Probably except some people like to block or clean all cookies, so permissions are lost.

Does MM store its own cookies for this, or does it use the chrome browser?

Re: Google Window hangs MM

I totally agree, the artwork properties dialog should have two buttons "Lookup online", and "Browse" directly within it, so user can decide in advance if they want to go online or search locally only. Please make this a feature request. Now mine does not bring up any google windo...
