Level Track Volume

Postby MPG » Tue May 01, 2012 5:39 pm

Before I submit this as a bug:
I am in the midst of ripping a number of CD's. After they are ripped, I level the track volume (the one that permamently changes the file). I've been doing it in batches of about 150 to 200 songs. What I have been finding is that it processes all of the files, but will sporadically be unable to update some of them. The status will say they are remaining to be tagged, but are never completed. I've waited up to 15 minutes befoer I give up. I close MM, reopen and do them again. Sometimes they will all be tagged, sometimes some will need to be redone.

Anyone else encountering this? Any suggestions?

Using 4.0.3.1476

TIA,
MPG

Why not level while ripping and reduce the steps in your process?

This issue of files to be tagged remaining was something I saw in MediaMonkey 3. I haven't seen it in MediaMonkey 4 even on large tagging operations. Do make sure you're committing only 1 tagging operation per file (so if you're leveling a file don't tag it at the same time). I don't use leveling though, only Analyze Volume.

I originally submitted this in the help section and received a response from LowLander recommending that:
1) Level the tracks as part of the rip
2) Make sure I don't do any other tagging.

I could do #1, but find it slows the ripping down considerably, and I like to do the ripping quickly then run the levelling as a batch process. Because the levelling is all at once, nothing else is being done.

Any suggestions?

Send a debug log (step 4b) to support for the failure to tag all files: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

I thought you would be interested in knowing that the debug version worked flawlessly. I'll be doing another batch likely this coming weekend, and will try again.

Just keep DBGView running while doing this process. This way if it does happen you have captured it and can send the debug log zipped to support.
