SQL-Viewer 2.4 [Script] 2009-10-25

A few minutes. It "took some time" means compared to the wrong code

I am trying to get this to work with adding new Genres. I can get a new Genre to add to the Songs table, but once I rescan my library, the new genre disappears. I tried adding the new Genre to the Songs table, Genres table and the link between the song and new genre in the GenresSongs table, but still the new Genre disappears when I rescan the library.

Any suggestions for adding new Genres with SQL?

Thanks

Out of curiosity wouldn't it be easier to add the genre's via the native MM way? But using this script, what sql are you using, are you sure the tags are being saved with the new genre's?? Try syncronizing them after you run the sql.

Actually no, it's not easier to update Genres in MM manually when you have several thousand of them. Isn't that the point of scripts? I can handle doing some manually, but not thousands.

I gave up on SQL and am trying UpdateDB and WriteTags methods with no luck. I will start another thread to try to figure it out.

What are the steps you are using to accomplish this, perhaps with that information someone will be able to help you?

hey

my first installation of media monkey 4 was good because i didnt know that it can be installed in portable mode . so i installed it and made it portable myself as i always do and nothing went wrong

the problem appeared when i wanted to install it on my other pc and this time i noticed the portable check box and i installed it on my previous portable folder .
this is what happened to the music paths in my library


as you can see the start (shared) section of the path which was d:\media\audio\music has changed to [MUSIC] and i dont know how to fix it. i hoped that by writing a config line like this [music]=d:\media\audio\music\ would solve the problem but despite trying all the combinations i could guess , im still unable to fix this problem. please help

thanks in advance
