How Do I Clear Movie/Film Audio From Existing Playlists?

[David Meagher]

G'day all,

Unfortunately my MediaMonkey (2024.1.0.3113; Gold Lifetime Licence) libraries all seem to contain the sound from digital videos that I have recorded in the past and this is despite the fact that my digital videos are all stored outside of my digital music library, and that I (think I) didn't select movie/film/mpg etc. whenever I have scanned my music collection in the past/ or it was autoscanned.

It's driving me crazy(ier!) trying to remove these unwanted intrusions from my listening experience.

I think I've tried pretty much everything to stop hearing the sound track from videos I can't (and don't want) to see, when I am trying to listen to music.

I now suspect that the only option left to me, is to:
1. Delete all the existing media library information contained within my copy of MediaMonkey
2. Then rescan my music libraries' contents BUT ONLY from a single source like "B:\Albums" (which is what i thought I had originally done) But how please?

That is unless one of you good folk (or more!) can teach me the error of my ways, while teaching me a better way to listen to ONLY my music, when I use the Auto DJ for example, please?

Note well that my digital music collection contains well north of 70,000 individual tracks.

Thanks for your time in consideration, and your help in anticipation!

MediaMonkey only scans what you select to be scanned, so at some point you must have included those location(s) for scanning. This only needs to have happened once.

So the first step is to make sure nothing is set to be scanned that you don't want scanned.
Then make sure you file type selection is set correctly.

Then you can remove (only from Library) any files you don't want included. You can use Location to remove any locations you don't want included in your MediaMonkey Library or sort on Extension to remove files from specific extensions.

Thank you very much.
I figured I had messed up somewhere/sometime!
I've had a gold lifetime license since 2012, but have been using MediaMonkey even longer than that!
