Ok, i'll wait some more.
Thanks for your input.
I might try the portable.

How can i reinstall without having to rescan all my files? It may not be the issue, but you should start by updating MM. Just back up media files and MM files: .DB (most important), .ini (highly recommended), (optionally, .registry). Normally, you can just do a reinstall over the old one, but you s...

I get access violations nearly continuously now. Just now MM decided to rescan my files ,added 600 existing files again. I installed the debug version , sent about 5 reports, with email adress, haven't heard a thing. How can i reinstall without having to rescan all my files? i have put a lot of manu...

Update and try to reproduce the steps that caused the issue.

Ok ,i'll update; i might ,if i have some time to spare, try to reproduce,see what gives.
Cheers.

Also, it's good to do regular "unsync'd" checks just to make sure there isn't anything slipping through the cracks. I try to do it, at least, once a month. I'll do thisfrom now on, but i still can't understand the process, i made this 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ' artist name change in MM, it...

here is how it went: I selected about 5000 files at a time, there was no problem at all. Before I did this I checked my backups ( several off-line hard disks) , it turned out the latest backup dated 10 days ago was also affected. An older backup, about one month, was clean. So the lesson learned is ...

Ok, but did you try what I mentioned above? I just now did try it out with one book. As you predicted the import to the player is ok now ,no more Arthur Conan Doyle! What do you think about these 40.000 tracks? should i divide them manually by selecting a number of tracks or could i just do them all?

If you make changes inside MM they should be sync'd with the files. I'm not sure if I understand,if i , for example, alter the genre of a number of tracks, this is then written into the tracks. Why would I need to synchronise these tracks? or is a properties change something special, which I need t...

A few weeks ago I attempted to alter artist names on a bunch of books. I had a number of Sherlock Holmes books, the artist was either Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Arthur Conan Doyle. so I did a ctrl a ctrl c on all these books ( I thought). Then I changed in properties the artist field into' Arthur Con...

Database is updated as changes are made. However the size may not changes as empty space in the database will be filled before its size grows. You'll need to figure out which database is actually being used by MediaMonkey and Date Modified would be a good indicator for this. It is the "roaming...

I restored a backup and added the files again. 1. Can you give a step by step of how you did that/what that means. i closed MM and manually replaced the old db with the backed up db. 2. How are you creating your backups? i made backups with a script http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=...

on 14-3 MM hung, i had to force shutdown. After restart i got ' database is corrupt. several days of data was gone. i restored a backup and added the files again. today i restarted MM, all data added since 14-3 was gone. So i restored MM.db from a backup i made earlier today, but still all i get is ...

I actually just did this, indeed it works as you say !
