The new Media Monkey for Windows has two serious bugs in my view:
1) upon re-scan of a folder or set of folders where there may be name or path changes, Media Monkey DOES NOT always provide the option to remove missing files. In fact it seems to get stuck in a "there are background tasks .. terminate them?" if you try and close it .. eventually forcing you to close the program since it stops responding. The previous version always listed the missing files and let you remove them from the library.
2) The STUPID preview of album art is re-generated each time you come up with new ways to look at your library.
For example lets say you have a folder all tagged correctly with Genre: Punk, Artist: Clash, Album: London Calling, Year:1979
Now when you search for Genre:Punk .... it will take some time to create the Preview for your album (London Calling). Wonderful.
This is how the old MM did it too.
However, when you search on another day with say: Artist:Clash ... it will again take time to generate the preview for your album(s) .. even the ones that were indexed previously .. under Genre:Punk.
Once you have the preview for a album it should be used for all further searches for the same album like the old Media Monkey did.
Who was on your test team? Please fix these two pressing issues.
