Thanks LL, that worked once i located the DB files.

So now I'm back on a trial version 3.0.7.11. But this doesnt have scrobbling (last fm) - whats the best way to scrobble in this version.... or do I have to rload the BETA?? (forgot how i did that last time??)

See this for a [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=54]clean install[/url].

OK, how do I do a complete re-install?? - I keep getting a database read error and cant play anything.

well that stuffed everything up... downloaded the latest trial version... now database is corrupted, and despipete completely removing and uninstalling everything, i cant get it to play music.

Next suggestion?

It might also be caused by some special characters that these FLAC files contain that causes them not to be scrobbled.

[quote="tigertales"]Thanks NH.

I had a problem scrobbling a month back, which you helped me solve.

My current problem is the scanner doesn't pick up all the FLAC files in 'some' folders. - I wouldn't have thought a slight version difference would be the problem.[/quote]
I honestly don't know, but it certainly could be the problem. You should at least update to the current version from the website (3.0.7 if not going to the beta version).

Perhaps it would be wise to move the flac files that won't be scanned to your local hard drive, then scan to see if there is some connection issue.

Thanks NH.

[quote="tigertales"]mmmm, so if i update, is that gonna stuff up my scrobbling that I had so much trouble with a while back??

And is the version really the issue?[/quote]
If its scrobbling that is a problem, then certainly it matters. I don't know what scrobbler plugin you are using but the new plugin is only compatible with MM3.1 (not 3.0.1)

3.0.1.1227? The current version is 3.0.7.1191, looks like you're running an outdated version.

Using MM 3.0.1.1227 .... (i thought it was BETA, but it doesnt say so).

I'm scanning folders off an external HD, and although the files are visible in explorer, MM fails to pick them up.

Eg - explorer shows tracks 1 through 12, but MM doesnt want to add them all.

Any reason why this might be??
