Hi,
I would like to suggest that you open support Ticket and supply us with sample file.

I've got a variation of this problem. I just installed MMW to a rebuilt Win7 box, scanned/built the library, and everything was good until I tried to add an mp3 album from one of my archive CDs. It imported, all the properties look right, but it won't play this album, just skips through the tracks. WMP plays the files just fine, so I don't think it's the codec problem as described above. Any other suggestions?

Start here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/130/0/ as you don't have WMP, you may miss the necessary codecs in Windows.

I've had issues on and off with all media players. Presently suffering through this one on Media Monkey. Just updated MM and did a Win 10 update at same time, could be a problem. I refuse to activate Windows Media Player. If rescan doesn't work I'll uninstall MM and install WinAMP. When that glitches, I'll switch back. This won't help any of you but it makes me feel better to vent. Thanks.

Hi,
Properties path "https://192.168.0.xxx:50001" means that files were playing thru DLNA server not accessed directly if they were to be accessed directly then path would be like this "\\192.168.0.xxx\Music\xxxxx\xxxxxx.mp3"

I found that MediaMonkey skipped a few mp3 songs without playing them. In my case it was down to non-ascii characters in the file name. I changed the skipped file names to standard letters and the mp3 then played them ok.

I have noticed that Mediamonkey doesn't properly import files from the network into the library when you select from the Media Server tree. That is, instead of importing from "Media Servers", you should select:
"My Computer" > "Network" > "Microsoft Windows Network" > [insert your home network group name here] > [insert your media server's name here]

I discovered this by right-clicking a file that was getting skipped, opening its properties, and looking at the file path. The file path was pointing to an https://192.168.0.xxx:50001 address, essentially going around my local network to grab the songs.

I'm running Windows 8.

I have the same problem. Tracks won't play on MM, I get some static and it moves on to the next song. iTunes does not have a problem. I have installed several versions of MM.

I am using MM free version on XP pro.

same problem here ... when i use "Play in MediaMonkey" in explorer right click menu (or Double click ), the mp3 file opened in MM but doesn't play ... but if i drag & drop it on MM there is no problem and song played . so this problem can't related to codecs ...

another problem is with my simple USB mass storage devices ,,, when I open an item from Tree section of MM - portable device the song doesn't play , but if i use My computer in tree section the song played ... so i guess there is a problem with d_WMDM.dll

my system : windows 7 Ultimate - MM (3.2.0.1294 ) gold

Installing Windows Mediaplayer did the trick. Thanks.

Yes, I do have Ultimate N this time. Strangely, Itunes doesn't have this problem.

I'll try and fix it and let you know. Thanks.

[quote="Teknojnky"]this can happen under several different situations

- the files are no longer where MM thinks they are (itunes or wmp possbily automatically reorganized them or something)
- files are drm protected
- if they are on a network share, MM can't seem to connect

and more

give some more info on what kind of files they are (mp3/m4a/flac/etc), where they are located etc (main hard drive, network, external drive, on your ipod, etc).[/quote]


The files are just MP3. With Windows 7 Home Premium I didn't have any problems. All the files are there, on my main harddrive. No drm protection. If I right-click a file and say "open with Mediamonkey", it opens Mediamonkey, but doesn't play the song. Itunes doesn't have any problems (don't want to use that shit though).
I tried installing as administrator and running as administrator: no change (removed before trying each approach with Revo Uninstaller Pro).
