Hi,
Thank you for download links and as I suspected, Those OGG files that can't be played Contain ID3 Tag which is illegal for OGG files.
Please Note that MMW do not contain Code that would write ID3 Tag in OGG files, are you sure that no other app tagged/opened your files?
One thing puzzles me. You are saying that you sync files and your original files became different like it was synced other way around?
Another thing, you are saying that If you update Tags on original MP3 and sync to Drive it gets saved on drive without conversation?
Finally, I wonder why are you using "d_USBMass1.dll" plugin which is outdated and removed from MMW installation because it causes conflicts with other plugins and As you use Windows 10 any Removable drive can be used as sync device by Using WMDM plugin (d_USBMass1.dll must be deleted from plugins folder)?
OK, here's the system I have in place. It may sound a little confusing, but it was the only way to get what I wanted. As I recall, I had to use USBMass1.dll because the WMDM plugin didn't do something - what it was, I can't remember right now. Originally it was to use "Sync Back Ratings" plugin, but when I found a way around that, I switched to WMDM and there was issues.
I have two instances of Mediamonkey; one standard, one portable. The standard has my MP3/FLAC collection. The portable contains copies of all those files in OGG. So I have two identical libraries, one in MP3/FLAC, one in OGG. The reason for this was that I wanted ogg copies on my phone, and far too often there was problems with converting all the files from MP3 to OGG for my phone through Wifi sync; if the library on my phone corrupted or got messed up, it was simply far too big a headache to wait for all the files to convert again (I have a library of about 150,000 MP3s) - so I just went with having copies of OGG files on a separate Mediamonkey library.
So, in Mediamonkey Standard I use "USBMass1.dll" to sync the MP3s to my W: drive; Mediamonkey Portable then scans W: drive and transfers the oggs to Mediamonkey Android (Wifi).
Any rating changes I make on Android then sync to the OGG Library, and then I use Playlists to update the MP3 files using a series of plugins.
Complicated, I know. It would be ideal if Mediamonkey could make backup copies of auto-converted files when syncing with the phone, but to my knowledge this isn't possible - so I have to use this method.
So the only thing updating the OGG files is a different Mediamonkey library, and that doesn't cause any issues. It's only ever if I use the MP3 Mediamonkey to "Sync" that some files in Mediamonkey OGG become corrupted. They DON'T become corrupted, however, if I update them by right-clicking the files and selecting "Sync to OggDrive [W:]" -
ONLY on auto-sync.
Long winded explanation, and perhaps there's nothing that can be done. I have found a work-around by not using Auto-Sync at all - it would be handy if I could, but not essential - so if there's nothing that can be done, then that's that, I can't complain.
