Hi,
Well, then you know that till 2035 there will be 128bit OS if there is an Windows OS by then.

Thank you for the update! Love this program, and you are all doing a GREAT job!

Only thing I can say that no one is in danger. I never said that we can't make 64bit MM but that it is not yet needed, actually in some cases will backfire.

I am aware nothing happened for Y2K. Been in the trenches before Y2K I was working on making sure nothing happened in two companies I worked for. One of them was a brokerage firm, they started fixing Y2K problems starting in 1983. For them 10 year bonds caused everything to go BOOM on Jan 1st, 1990. I know from friends in the industry some banks were working on the problem in the 1960's but there was not as much around then. 25 & 30 year mortgages were the issue then.

As for Y2K, here is what I did on New Years eve. Was watching TV/News starting at 7:00 am. See what happened (if anything) In Tokyo and Sydney. Then wait for 6:00pm see if anything happened for midnight GMT. Then I fell asleep.

(Yes nothing happened, mainly because we all ran around pulling our hair out for 10 years before making sure nothing would happen).

Been around Y2K and nothing happened, we are still far from 2035. and MM for MAC is 64Bit, MMA works on 64Bit ARM devices. MM can be compiled as 64Bit, but plugin compatibility is more problem than benefit moving all to 64Bit, especially as MM 32Bit works normally without any or neglectable downsides even on 5m tracks in library.

There is currently no obvious benefits to develop x64 version. Our internal tests showed negligent <5% speed increase in general UI, but showed many many incompatibilities with devices syncs/drivers/control apps/... MAC version on other hand will be x64/ARM64 as it handle things completely on a different level where system drivers and whole system operate in x64 unlike Windows.

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 2024 are you experiencing this with?

AS much as I like and enjoy MediaMonkey, 2024, it is always crashing and locking up on me. I have had several computers and the same problem. I am a lifetime Gold user, and I was really expecting a solid program.

Also, is the issue occurring with MediaMonkey 5.0.5? If yes, before sending a debug log, I'd suggest trying out the most recent MediaMonkey 2024 Release Candidate to see if it solves the problem.

Please let us know--thanks!

Please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

A developer will analyze it so the issue can be fixed.

one thing I noticed about MMW5 is that it is just a 32bit application? (At least, the one I have installed is only 32 bit)
Is there 64 bit build available too? (Surely the large majority of Windows OS's are 64 bits these days? Would it not improve performance when dealing with music libraries of terabyte size to have a native 64bit application? Or would it make no difference...?)

There's another post about this somewhere and one of the mods said something about them trying it out and it seemed to perform worse than 32bit version

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey is crashing and what are you doing at the time?

MM 5.0.2.2531 loads in mere seconds, is currently using around 650 MB of RAM, and running smooth as butter. Just sayin'

How often does it crash, though. I just discovered it to sort and deal with my music library from the past 20+ years of just dumping everything thats .mp3 into a folder. So many duplicates. I have crashed 7 times in the (less than) 24 hours its been installed. Ryzen 5800X3D, 64 GB 3600mHz ram.

i feel a 64 bit version my help, like someone else said, keep a 32 bit version for legacy users.

and my database is 610 MB.

That is individual files which are all likely relatively small. The main problem MediaMonkey can run into is the size of the database file and that has not been an issue yet.
