If you leave it at the default, it will go to MusicBranz, and if the CD cannot be found there the message will say "was not found in MusicBrainz" Nope, even if MusicBrainz is set as default, the message continues to say "not found in Freedb" That's what happens for me ... so if you see anything ...

But the message still says that it is not found on Freedb, I guess this is a small bug.

I will monitor during further working with MM5.

Thanks again!

Good morning! It looks like the malfunction, as described by me, only appears if the CD is not yet registered by the different databases. For instance "K bay" from Matthew E. White, released just last Thursday, that one lead to the error message "not found on Freedb". "Topaz" by Israel Nash, from ...

Good morning!
Weird, but yesterday evening all of the sudden copy&paste worked again.
Nevertheless, owing to your reference to the recent subject, I also will have a look on my version and will run an update if necessary.
Thanks a lot for the support!

Sorry: Latest MMW5, just installed

Where is the Artwork being copied from and which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey? Mainly Amazon, or Discogs etc., via right click "copy image" You can try to Drag & Drop the Artwork on the Properties > Artwork tab in MediaMonkey. You describe better than I did as non native speaker: That's the ...

I don't recall seeing anything described as "search for metadata" in the MM5 UI. But I am assuming that you are referring, at least partially, to this ? Correct? Partially: When you right click the drive with the CD inside, in the context menu you can chose "Autotag metadata" or similar (I do not ...

I would suggest to capture this in debug log (see item 4b: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643 ) so that we could analyze why it is happening in your environment. Thanks for the link! However, it will take some time until I will be able to operate, due to holidays (fine ...

Yes, I run MMW4 that way before, without problems. I prefer having the database on the external drive, because I had a data loss (e.g. playlists), when I connected the drive directly to the PC, instead of the ususal WLAN connection. I will try your "Optimise"-tip but that will take some time ...

Great, thanks a lot!!!

Hi, maybe it has been just a temporary bug, but yesterday in MMW5 I was not able to add a cover just by copying the image somewhere and enter it via the (right click) context menu, "paste" was gray. Instead, I had to use the search function, which however did not deliver satisfying results. Is that ...

Mornin'! In MMW4 there has been a quite comfortable and intuitive search for a CD on the web, in order to autofill all details. In the past, those information were provided mainly by FreeDB, which however is closed down. In MMW5 this feature is a little hidden, I suppose it is called "search for ...

Hello, am I the only one experiencing a dramatic slow MMW5? When it finally starts (I need several trials!), it takes about 30 to 60 minutes to open the program (without scanning!), all actions take ultra long, often you got the impression that MMW5 has frozen. MMW5 is installed as portable version ...

Hello, I have the same question!
Both, 4 and 5, are installed as portable version on the same external drive, but in separate paths.
Thanks a lot!
