This I believe is the latest beta.

It fixed most of my problems, but still not perfect.

I don't have a "data" folder in MM install directory, also I have never used MM before - 3.0.1 was the first version I ever tried to install.

I added DBName=C:\MM.db under [System] (there was no DBName in this file) and still no changes

Crack,

try to open MediaMonkey.ini file and find "DBName" variable. There should be path to the MM.DB file.

by **monkey hi fi** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:33 pm

okay try this location.

c:\program files\mediamonkey\data

see if that folder is there with the mdb in it.

i have an mdb in 3 different places on my win98 with mm 2.5

maybe you had one there too and mm 3 used that one.?

I'm running XP.

On XP
<system drive>:\Documents & Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Applications Data\MediaMonkey

So I was looking in the right place...

I don't have any database files there, just MediaMonkey.ini, mediamonkey.m3u and two empty folders (Previews and VirtualCD).

fyi you can look at this thread for simple way how to delete existing database : http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 908#128908

You're running on XP or Vista ?

On Vista check
<system drive>:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey folder

On XP
<system drive>:\Documents & Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Applications Data\MediaMonkey

Otherwise check if you're have enough rights for write to folders above.

I can get MM to open but in the tree I don't see my drives, only My Documents. I tried copying one .mp3 file there but when I click on folder I get "access violation..." error. Apparently MM stores drives information in its db, as I also don't see my drives when adding files to the library but they are there when I run MM just after installation.

Didn't help. Where exactly do you have this db on your system?

I have enabled viewing both protected system files and hidden files so I can see everything unless it's a NTFS alternate data stream...

Didn't help, still the same errors.

It looks like MM thinks it has successfully opened a database (what's obviously incorrect) and tries to execute queries on it...

try going in to the folders for your songs.
right click on a song format that you have media monkey set to play. and play it with media monkey. see if it plays if it does it might fix the error. its worth a shot anyway's i think it is looking for a song in the playlist but there was nothing there yet. which is why it can't find table 1,1

i had that the first time i installed it too but did what i said and it worked. then i just scanned the computer to get the music in the library. and i have not got that error anymore.
