Yes

I probably misunderstand something! Will deleting the MM.DB as suggested in post 2, give me the same result as a successful "clear library"?

As long as you make sure you select from Library only.

OK, that's great as a start. But what can I try? Is it risk free to delete the files as suggested earlier in this thread?

I've just tried it on a portable installation, it works fine.

If you have the File Monitor enabled it will re-add the files after Clear Library. Also it doesn't affect the Now Playing nor My Computer node as these are not Library views.

I enter YES, so that should be fine. Still nothing seem to happen! I close down MM and restart, same tracks. Quite a few, will it require time?

Make sure that you enter YES in all caps. You should have a clear DB then, check the collection or filter nodes to see if there are any tracks still in the library.

If you want to completely nuke your library and start over, you can manually delete the database if the "Clear Database..." option isn't working.

The database is here in XP: -

C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MM.DB

And here in Vista/Windows 7: -

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB

With MM closed, if you either delete the MM.DB file or move it to another folder (doing that means you can restore it if you change your mind), then restart MM, your library will be completely cleared and you can start over.

Oh yeah - The above locations apply to MediaMonkey 4. If you're using an earlier version, here's an article that shows you where to find the database on your PC: -

I select clear library, and answer YES, but nothing seems to happen. Where should I look?
