Re: Rip CD into one file?

MM4.0 used to have a very useful addin called Linked Tracks. Once all the tracks were linked (simply by highlighting them all and clicking on LInked Tracks) all the tracks would play in sequence when any one of them was selected and they would suffle as a unit. Very useful for playing classical ...

Re: Masking help for multiple and single CD albums

Here is the mask I use to organise jazz albums. C:\Jazz Albums\<Album Artist>\<Album>\$if(<Disc #>,Disc <Disc #>\)<Track #:2> <Title> So the first track of a one disk albums would be saved as: C:/Jarrett, Keith/New Vienna/01 New Vienna Part I.flac while the two discs of a 2 disc album would be saved ...

Re: Questions about using Mp3Tag with Media Monkey

This happens when the Album Artist field differs from track to track. In the standard metadata system an album is defined by two fields: Album and Album Artist. The Artist field can differ from track to track, but for a set of tracks to be considered one album, both the Album field and the Album ...

Re: RegExp Find and Replace - MediaMonkey Add-on - by Zvezdan Dimitrijević

I second this and note that nothing is available in MM5/MMW2024 to replace Linked-Tracks (which unfortunately no longer seems to exist as an add-on) an essential facility for playing classical music. MM4 for me, too.

Re: MMW5.1 - Casting to Google speakers no longer works [#20006]

Having the same problem, MM doesn't even show my 4 audio chromecasts units. It does show, and cast to video units. VLC has no problem showing and casting to either audio or video units, or groups. I have confirmed this on 2 computers so it doesn't appear to be a system issue (I checked settings ...

Re: Can't use Chromecast Audio

Hi, In your last support ticket Ludek replied 2023/05/17 12:16 that logs show mDNS, Multicast packets do not reach MM and suspect Firewall/VPN Client Settings issue blocking LAN. Maybe the issue now is different one. Here's the issue: NO OTHER PROGRAM THAT CASTS HAS TROUBLE WITH ANY FIREWALL. Why ...

Re: Can't use Chromecast Audio

This would be the third time I have submitted such logs for the Chromecast problem. If you haven't fixed it with the previous ones why would I think anyone would fix it with a third?

Re: Can't use Chromecast Audio

Sorry. Not fixed in 2811. Chromecast has seldom worked for me in any version of MM5. Works flawlessly in other programs. Main reason MM5 is never used. (Well that and the failure to properly play classical music - even MM4 had a work around to play classical music properly.)

Re: Classical Music Composers

I have to be honest and say that I never noticed the tracks option. So making it the default would be my choice. I would also make Composers the first item at the top horizontal list when selecting Classical Music. Here's another little problem (that should be easy to solve). After I get the list of ...

Classical Music Composers

In Classical Music one of the choices is Composers, important because that is a frequent (if not most frequent) way to access classical music. When a composer has been selected all the albums with compositions by that composer are displayed. Selecting an album where all the content is by that ...

Re: Chromecast and 2804

I followed Rob_S suggestion of restarting everything. After a couple of minutes the Chromecast Audio devices did appear. They seem to be stable in that if I close MM5 and reopen it somethime later the devices appear on the cast to list.

Re: Chromecast and 2804

I submitted a ticket with the log requested several days ago. MM is now on version 2806 and still the Chromecast audio devices are absent in MM5, but ONLY in MM5. Other programs find them with zero issues. What is wrong with MM5? It is finding Chromecast audio devices just fine here, please generate ...

Chromecast and 2804

Still not finding my 3 audio Chromecast units although it does find the video Chromecast. No other program that provides casts fails to find these three units. At least MM5 is consistent - it has always failed to reliably work with audio Chromecast.

My Chromecast speakers don't even show up in the cast list at all (2679). This has been a perennial problem with versions of 5, so much so that I seldom use MM anymore.
