Request : The ability to turn off all "smart" features

There needs to be a way to turn off all the "smart" or automatic things MM now does without user input. I am mostly talking about album art lookup. But in principle, I don't feel that anything should happen without user input and I don't want MM to go online at all, for any other reason th...

Re: Album Art : MM looks up image even if I have feature turned off

I don't think it is a bug. It is working as they designed it. I think this is a bad design. see here As described there, you can turn off most art acquisition via Tools>Options>Library>MetadataLookup. No, this doesn't work. It still does it even if you turn EVERYTHING off. It is a bit coy about the...

Re: Album Art : MM looks up image even if I have feature turned off

This seems not to have been resolved in 5.0.2.2531. When I go into a song that has no artwork, I still get the spinning wheel and it connects the first and "best" artwork to that file. I have no control over which file is associated and I am not able to choose. I also cannot remove this by...

Re: Q: How do you tag mash-up songs for correct sorting?

Issue :

When I go to the "Artist" view in the collections/node, I get a separate album cover for each song on a mash-up album with one song in them. And it looks really really messy and it makes navigating a pain..

Re: Q: How do you tag mash-up songs for correct sorting?

Sorry for long reply time. A mash-up is often "unsanctioned" mixes and they pose a problem for a clean looking DB. Example : Location/Filename : \Library - Albums\DJ Morgoth - Mash-Up Your Bootz\Mash-Up Your Bootz Party Vol. 07 (VBR)\07 - AC-DC vs. Fatboy Slim vs. Daft Punk vs. James Brown...

Q: How do you tag mash-up songs for correct sorting?

I fear this is the decades old topic of various artists, albeit perhaps a new iteration of it. I have a lot of mash-up albums/songs and they are usually annoyingly not staying where I want them. Example : Filename - 01 - The Chemical Brothers vs. John Williams - Galvanize the Empire [Party Ben].mp3 ...

Re: Album Art : MM looks up image even if I have feature turned off

In that case make sure you don't display Artwork in MediaMonkey (like setting the Filelisting to Details). Anytime MediaMonkey is set to display Artwork it will do the background lookup. Perhaps you actually didn't understand what I was trying stumblingly to explain... - For those files that have Y...

Well, then that should definitely be worthy of a settings toggle.

Re: Album Art : MM looks up image even if I have feature turned off

So, I've tried turning all that off. It's why I thought I was incompetent hehe. It STILL does it. These are my related settings. https://i.postimg.cc/zvTBCLsP/Screenshot-2021-11-26-110401.jpg So one album, actually also single files, that has no art, MM5 does this lookup in the background and just d...

Album Art : MM looks up image even if I have feature turned off

Unsure if this is a feature, a bug or just my incompetence in figuring out how to turn it off. MM5 (current release) looks up cover images without prompting me! If there is an album which I don't have album art for, MM5 looks up this and randomly selects a cover it thinks is correct (which usually i...

5 : 1.2431 more byggy than 0.2338

So this is a generalized summation of my experiences so far. I don't have a lot of specific bug behavior to not, more a general feeling of the everything. I'll post bugs as I experience them here. I had run 2338 for a few weeks now as a portable install. It worked flawlessly. Not a single hiccup. Sm...

WHOOAAA : MM5 + New Look + Gold Lic.

Short recap : Coming back to Windows after using Mac for some time, mostly been using Spotify like the rest of the galaxy, digging up my old music collection, find my Lifetime Gold license key from an old screenshot I made as a backup, install MM4. Looks bit weird (eh, old) on my 4K, but I am forgiv...

Possible to "Never Play" zero star ratings?

Hello there, I've not found a solution to this, but is it possible to have MM never play songs below a certain rating when in shuffle? I have a couple of songs I absolutely HATE from artists I love. I'm OCD enough not to want to delete the offending songs, it's part of an album, but I never EVER wan...

I retract my precious statement, I had to downgrade to sync my iPod ;)
