have you guys tried scanning folders in seperatly to see where the problem arises?

it's not always on the same filealthough it happens in folders with 300 or more files, including sub-folders. most of my files are ogg then mp3 then wma

Are you using the latest version of MediaMonkey (2.5.4)? Have you tried creating a debug log as requested above? See more about creating a debug log in the Bug forum.

I had exactly the same problem as everybody else on this thread.

I realised that it was certain Wav files in a couple of folders that were causing the problem, so i unselected those folders and it scanned around 10,000 tracks in about 4 minutes. The Wav files were ones I had downloaded from Beatport and play fine, not corrupted or anything, but quite big files, so maybe that was it!!!??? I Dunno

But this bug caused me at least a whole day of aggravation.

I almost gave up and bought another program.

Does it crash on a specific WAV file or any WAV file? I\'m pretty sure Peke is interested in receiving a WAV file causing this issue. There have been improvements in the last version of MediaMonkey related to WAV, but maybe something is now causing an error in the scan process.

Fixed and ready for next release

That's Good News.

It seemed to just not like big wav files at all. Some of the files were around 120MB, so for one song a pretty big file. They were all downloaded from Beatport. Unfortunately, the files are too big to email, but as you have fixed the prob, then it probably doesn't matter.

What release would that be? And when is it due?

I'm having the exact same problem.. I'm very excited about the program -but my first encounter was a little troublesome because of this..

EDIT: I had problems with some ogg and wav files..

It isn't a fatal bug though, although normally quite fast agitated, i've learned to just walk away, i don't know if it eventually times out or it just processes very slowly, but if you give it time, it does finish.

(only use MM for Audio though, so my max size is 15-20mb or so
