MediaMonkey iTunes plugin (d_itunes4.dll)

[jusspickle]

Hello all, I just switched to media monkey because I defected from apple to a samsung note 2. I will have to go back to Apple if there is no solution to my problem. I have been carefully honing my iTunes library for almost 10 years it has 80,000 song of which, I have rated almost 50,000, from what I understand this plug in should be able to sync the ratings and play counts made in media monkey to iTunes. Is that correct? I'm currenly on mm 4.0.7.1511 and itunes 10.7.0.21 the "d_itunes4.dll on media-0e5vai0re" shows up in MM but when I sync it it doesn't make any changes to itunes Please help!!! I only have 6 day to return my samsung phone PLEASE Thank You

Check with nohitter151 send him an pm click the pm button under his name when you sign in to the forum you will see the button. He should know just what to do and should answer you fast, but also lowlander and some others here might help. You could send pm's to as many members that posted in this thread that you think can answer you. Except me i dont have any apple stuff. I'm a android and pc user.

I had my own recent problems with the plugin but not related to iTunes. No trouble with v11 for me. YMMV.

Just an FYI to any relevant users, it looks like there are some issues with iTunes v11 and this plugin. Try to stick with iTunes v10.

Hi again!

I have been using the plugin for more than a year and it has been great. I recently got some form of virus which led me to re-install Windows 7 completely. I took a backup of Mediamonke files and re-installed W7 and MM and itunes. i copied my backup to the specified location and opened MM. Everything looked great, all the files were there with playcounts, ratings and last played. I then tried to sync with itunes and now it seems the plugin has erased my itunes library (although the itunes files are not deleted). The message I get now is that itunes library is empty and it prompts me not to continue as there seems to be a communication problem with itunes. What should i do?

This looks more like an new device id number error maybe the script for finding / fixing hard drive id errors will fix this one?
I believe bex wrote the script i might be wrong though could have been some othe member?

Hi, i solved my problem by using another computer with my backed-up database (or rather, the complete MM folder). It seems to be working now, the plugin is copying all my tracks again (10000+, nearly 24 hours...).

I would like to have my MM database along with all the plugin settings etc. installed on my network drive instead of my local computer to avoid any similar event in the future. Will the plugin work in such a setting?

Yes. Install MM as a portable installation alongside your mp3 folders. Also position the MMiTunes folder on the same drive.

[theax]

Thanks! I will try that. I have recently installed Windows 8 on one of my computers and have tried to copy the MM.db to my server and changed the ini-file accordingly. I have also set up a separete Itunes on that machine and tried out the plugin on that setup. It seems to be working fine. If that is something that "should" work it would be preferable to have a "portable" setup due to OS-integration? Any thoughts on that?

Hi there!

First off, this is a genius plugin, WOW!

Unfortunately for me, I am running mediamonkey in Parallels on a Mac, and my itunes is running in Mac osx. Is there any update on making this work for me?

Thanks for this, looking forward to getting it working!

Hey there,

This is my first time trying to use the plugin, but I have a problem.
My laptop is a 10 inch screen, and i physically can't scroll down to hit "apply" after choosing what I want on auto sync (it's like the program doesn't fit the screen..)
Is there any way you can help me..?:(

Thank you!!

I had the same exact problem with MM 4.1.0.1617 gold and Itunes 10. I fixed it by going back to the latest 4.0.x release. It appears that the plugin has not been updated for 4.1.x yet.

Thank you theta_wave, I will go back to 4.0 then. Do You also have problems with itunes4_dll changing playcounts and dates? Whenever i sync to Itunes playstats of some tracks go back to an older date.

Can anyone tell me if this will work?

I'm trying to get my iTunes library into MediaMonkey. All files are stored locally on a hard drive. All artwork is separate and linked individually (no iTunes artwork). No iTunes store music. All mp3.

Using this plugin, can I drag all songs from my iTunes library "device" into my MediaMonkey library and have it build a MediaMonkey library with only the songs from my iTunes library, all play counts/ratings etc intact?

I'm trying to duplicate my iTunes library instead of importing the same music folders the normal way and getting some files that I don't want in the process.

Early on yes. After testing it just now, it seems to playcounts and dates just fine.

Here's my config:
