.
watch your language here.
and the monkey will let you do those things in the free version.
there must be some sort of interference from another program in your system.
or at worst you can't use the program properly but i think that is not the trouble cause you can post in the forum so that makes you smart enough to use a program.
but adding the cdroms to your collection is simple just rip them to the hard drive.
set up a folder to rip them too.
use the wav format to rip to the hard drive its faster and less chance of error.
then use monkey to convert to your wanted format if he can convert to it if not use your other program that can convert to it.
then use the monkeys dead links feature in the library node under the files to edit sub node.
and remove the dead links.
now go to add rescan and click it, on it go to the folder your songs are in and select that folder.
then go to the format window on the panel and make sure the format you want to scan for is there and is selected.
now click okay.
monkey should find the files and add them in, if you have gone to his options and told him to associate with that format.
if you have gone to his options and told him to turn on the one for making a new playlist for recently added files then you will be able to find them faster.
if doing that scanning is not working for your system for some reason.
then in monkeys directory tree go to his node for "my computer" its the same as the one in the windows explorer so be careful not to do anything you can't undo cause you will do it in the main computer files area when in that my computer node of mediamonkey's.
but go to the folder your songs are in. select that folder and then go to add rescan. and click it all the info should be shown in the panel then by monkey adding it so he has to find it that way. then just click okay and it should scan them in and make the new playlist for you.
if you are trying to use file monitor and auto organizer from inside the options panel then you need the gold version.
but the free version has use of the auto organizer in the menu bar's tool menu it is a manual set up one and start one but it works.
now you know how to do it just what is the trouble you are having besides a potty mouth. i know it is madding to have something go wrong but i don't' use that bad language where there are possible 5 year olds to read it. yes its that simple to use monkey which is why i can't understand what is making you not be able to use it.
there might be some missing file from windows. but you did not say anything of importance for figuring out your error for you.
