Sorry for your well-meant efforts, Lowlander, but I will not spend one minute more on finding out what happened why in MM. It has been too much. Every new action creates new problems. Then I must enter the cockpit and check/select/reset 239 buttons. I have given up and am gone. Thanks again for your...

Just one last farewell message for everyone related to MM to illustrate how weak and mad the db structure is. In the process now of migrating my library back from MM to iTunes - already came across minimum 7 ridiculous new issues. Will not describe them all, too complicated. Just four examples: 1. B...

Well, none of the issues mentioned below has been fixed. But I am no longer willing to be a medical specialist who has to create his own lab and do permanent body research to tell his doctor what is wrong and why. I expect the doctor to find out where my systems fail and heal them. The MM doctors do...

@Lowlander: Thanks for your elaborate reaction - elaborate and detailed as always. But it's too late. Yesterday I started to migrate my db back to iTunes, in spite of all the disadvantages of that system. I am really sick of all the experiments, settings, checks, rechecks, research, support question...

[quote="rovingcowboy"]i thought all these were caused by defraging, but if you got the same thing going on it cant be my defraging every other day [...] and always the same artists are being messed with @rovingcowboy: 1. i don't rule out defragging being part of the problem - but that simp...

I will soon give up using MM. It is much better than iTunes for editing purposes, but it is much worse when it comes to the reliability and stability of the database. That is a complete mess. Of my big library (100.000+) LOTS of tunes have been messed up while being used/imported in MM: 1. Many trac...

Yes, and previous versions.

Strange bug since a few weeks: when I edit one of the tracks in a list view (at least when editing artist or title, maybe other fields as well), the selection changes once the field is 'closed'. Very strange and impredictable results. Example: ● I search for tracks with the keyword 'fortunate'. ● I ...

Well, I don't think I need to take those steps.
I did a lot of finetuning, made some changes to my own playlists and now think all works fine.
My major change is not to sync all 18.000+ in one go, but in 4 or 5 different groups.
Thanks.

Oh, ok, but what is the use of doing that?

Don't understand what you mean to say with the first paragraph but most likely it is irrelevant for my problem because I did not add anything manually: I changed the properties of a few playlists (increased the amount of tracks), then auto-synced THOSE playlists AGAIN, assuming that overall there wa...

Hi Lowlander, With the newest build and syncing step by step things went ok. Still no clue why it failed before, since essentially I did the same as many times before - and the same as what I did after your newest remarks. Strange. Even stranger, a new problem... After I had synced all playlists, I ...

Will try it again - if I can afford again to let it run for 12-14 hours to delete all old content and fill it (again) with my playlists. As far as I know I did exactly the same as what you described - and I have the newest (debug) version. Before I COULD sync the playlists (although terribily time c...

Since I migrated from iTunes to MM i have disliked the MM-syncing procedures. Too complicated, no clear overview, lots of confusing settings. Since today I dislike it even more. I just want to sync a number of playlists I created within MM. After 3 hours of 'syncing' none of the playlists had copied...

Then I thanked to soon - but never mind. Not urgent now!
