Re: 'My Computer' Collection - Available in 4, Missing in 5?

Your points are well taken, and I very much appreciate the time and knowledge you are applying to answer my question(s). What I am doing, however, is to browse to what can be a large number of audio files in various albums by a number of album artists, that I wish to add to the database. So they are...

Re: 'My Computer' Collection - Available in 4, Missing in 5?

Ah. I see it now, but I also see why I didn't see it .. For however many folders one has at the next level down, each (in this case) corresponding to an Album-Artist, one has to scroll past the entire list [mine is >1000 folders] before seeing, or even knowing about, the list of audio files. So all ...

'My Computer' Collection - Available in 4, Missing in 5?

When adding albums into MM4, I could open 'My Computer' to a folder, and the 'All' tracks collection included every audio file in that folder and subfolders. This made it easy to see and change such things as Disc #, Album Artist and Genre across a set of ripped albums. Is this feature missing in MM...

Re: SQL Editor 1.0.1

Hi Drakinite! Thanks for the response, and please accept my apologies if my comments were at all harsh :oops: ; I really do appreciate having such a db window within MM5. If I make any progress with external tools, I will be pleased to pass the news and tools on to you. :D

Re: SQL Editor 1.0.1

Ha! Thanks! Found it, though the tooltip says 'Undefined' ... and ... THAT's IT? Just a query sub-window and a results sub-window? No schema drag-drop? Nuttin GUI? Wow...that's pretty primitive...though I appreciate that it could be valuable once someone knows the database topology and naming conven...

Re: SQL Editor 1.0.1

:-? So...I have installed the SQL Editor Add-On, and see it in the list of Add-Ons, but where the F is it to actually run? None of the menus seems to possess that handle, and it isn't listed as an MM5 start menu item...

.mp4 'web optimized' 'fast start'

Hello. On a home Windows 10 Pro workstation, I have set up MM Gold as a media sharing device with the server option specified by checkmark. With this, I serve to various LAN devices my music, audiobooks, music videos, and videos. Re Videos, I have encoded my .mp4 files using Handbrake with “Web Opti...

Nightblogger - Go to the apple itunes page again ( https://www.apple.com/itunes/ ) and find "Looking for other versions? macOS Windows" down the page. Click on the Windows link, and see that a version of the page you were on now has a "Download iTunes for Windows now (64-bit)" bu...

Re: suddenly MM will not sync with iPhone via Installed (non-app) iTunes [#16934]

Lowlander, is it generally safe for a MM user to update with the latest fix, or is it preferred to fall back on a prior production release? How often, if ever, would a serious problem be introduced by the MM version with the latest fix, which is assumed to include other fixes? (My sysdev days lead m...

[FIXED] suddenly MM will not sync with iPhone via Installed (non-app) iTunes [#16934]

As of several days ago, after my updating iTunes to version 12.10.9.3 on Win64Pro, MM decided to complain about iTunes rather than sync an iPhone via it. MM seems to think my iTunes is the app variant, but in fact it is the downloaded/installed category of software, residing at "c:\Program File...

Re: Excluding video files from device sync

Whew! I am sometimes reluctant to suggest an approach when I haven’t proven it to myself several times over in the same context. Congrats on getting it working as you needed.

Re: Excluding video files from device sync

Of course you want to restrict that rule to videos only, so that the rest of your sync still works. :)

Re: Excluding video files from device sync

I hope this is useful for you. It has been for me re auto-organize. Re leaving video files in place, the video collection rule that worked for me ended up being the simple entry ".\<Filename>". Please excuse that I have not tried it in a device sync context. :roll:

Re: Denon can't see MM service unless MM app is running

Hmmm... During the "Windows installation" phase of the latest MM Gold for existing Gold licensees (MediaMonkey_4.1.25.1895.exe ~ is this the same for everybody?), there is offered portable installation but not installation as a service as far as I can tell. Nor does it appear to be offered...
