Low volume with Android Auto

This is the only thread I could find re MMA 2.0 so I'm posting here. I am not a beta tester. For the past few months, MMA has been playing at very low volume in my car compared to other music players I have on my phone. Today I tried disconnecting my phone (LG V60) from its USB connection to my car ...

Re: Upgraded files - workflow suggestions?

I tried a couple of times weeks ago to thank Lowlander for his suggestion but was unable to post for some reason. Hope this one goes through.

The add-on worked for me. Took a while to figure out how best to use it but it serves the need I described.

Thanks!

Upgraded files - workflow suggestions?

Thanks, guys. Unfortunately there is little guidance at the link you provided and all the screenshots are gone. So I've waded through on my own and here's what I have accomplished: Installed the add-on, loaded 5 albums into MMW as a trial run, configured the tool to copy over the tags I want and the ...

Upgraded files - workflow suggestions?

Continued from: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=98146&p=476830#p476830 Thanks, guys. I've installed the add-on. Then, as a test run, I loaded about 5 albums at the higher bitrate into MMW, and scanned them into the library. Opening up the Files to Edit node and the Advanced ...

Upgraded files - workflow suggestions?

I got a USB DAC recently and am enjoying significantly higher fidelity audio on my FLAC files and those MP3s that are 256-320kbps. So now it's particularly obvious when a low bitrate track plays. As a result, I have begun the process of replacing low bitrate files with higher bitrate files. I'm ...

Re: Transferring star ratings to files on new drive

The original HDD was a Seagate external connected to my laptop via USB 3.0. The new enclosure kit also uses a USB 3.0 interface. I went ahead and connected it to the laptop and MediaMonkey immediately showed all my music including the star ratings. Whew! What a relief! :D Again, thanks for the ...

Re: Transferring star ratings to files on new drive

Thanks, Lowlander. That's a lot of verifying. :/ Thanks for the tip, Peke. I would not have thought of the question of sync drive vs regular library drive. New drive should arrive in 7-10 days. This time I'm using a SSD. Crossing my fingers most if not all files will adopt the ratings in the ...

Re: Transferring star ratings to files on new drive

Ratings are always saved in the database and by default saved in the files too. If you use a different drive with the same database you'll need to update the driveID: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63823&hilit=update+location+of+files+in+database More detail: https://www ...

The external drive housing my mp3 files has gone bad / dead. Let's call that Drive X. I will be buying a new one (let's call it Drive Z) and transferring files from a backup drive (Drive Y) to the new Drive Z. However, the mp3s on the backup drive (Y) do not have the star ratings I had designated ...

Re: Music Deleted from Library During Sync

Lowlander, I appreciate your quick reply and follow-up question. It turns out that I was able to see the files after changing some configuration settings on my PC that had to do with managing page files in Windows. I'm guessing that the size of the sync and music files involved was too much for the ...
