Please provide any problematic files to [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/support]Support[/url]. This will allow a developer to analyze what the problem with the files and if MediaMonkey can handle it better.

i was having problems with fingerprinting hanging on mediamonkey. so, i tried something different. i created a new folder naming it [b]music 2.[/b] i selected all the music out of my old music folder and copied and pasted it into the new [b]music 2 folder.[/b] ([b]important do not cut and paste[/b],) it must be copied and pasted. if the copy stops or hangs, the file that it hangs on is quite probably a bad/corrupt file. i would suggest you throw that MP3 file away and replace it. continue where the copy left off after the hang-up with the next file. i found that mediamonkey does not like bad files and will hang on each and every single one of your MP3's that is bad . after you finish copying your music to the new file folder you can rename the music 2 folder to whatever you want.
this work exceptionally well for me.
i hope it does the same for you.

Awesome

We could add something like 'Auto-tag in background' ... added to my TODO

The auto-tag feature will only process 100 or so tracks at a time. And then you need to review and tick each track prior to updating the info. This feature should be renamed as batch tag from web. And a true auto-tag feature added added that will go thru all selected tracks and update them automatically as it finds the info.

I was just working with aprox 7800 tracks - at 100 a time it is labor intensive.
I have 65k+ to go.

A true auto tag would be very helpful........

Are you saying that if you do wait the data does get downloaded?

So I choose about 100 songs and run Autotag. I can see the status change from fingerprinting to processing to done. However many times when done it still lacks the lyrics and art work. If I update the files [tag and continue] they do not have those fields saved. If i wait however for five minutes or so those fields normally do update.

I think the DONE flag should wait until all the required fields have been completed.

Is there a wiki or instruction s as to best practices on how to use the Auto tag interface?

I seem to be having issues while fingerprinting. I have 5700+ tracks and i start to autotag, after 100 or so corrections it stops until I check the tick boxes on the visible tracks and choose the "Tag & continue" radio button. Then the next 100 or so load, after that it hangs. When I restart it does not pick up where it left off so I have been unable to complete the process.

Any Ideas?
