A solution:
Do not use pause for extended periods. Shut down the program and restart when needed.

Step 1. Play music using Media Monkey. Step 2. Pause for an extended period of time. Step 3. Hit Play... At this time, the hard drive is usually shut down. When I hit play, Media Monkey will play what is in the buffer, about 2 seconds worth. Then playback stops while it waits for the hard drive to s...

Thanks Dypsis!
I have turned off backup on exit.
I have no problems backing up on demand.
I'll take a look at your settings.
Case closed!
Thanks.

At time of closing Media Monkey version 4.1.21.1875 I get the following error: Script: C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Abackup2.vbs Line: 328 Char: 11 Error: Path not found Code: 800A004C Source: Microsoft6 VBScript runtime error Here are lines from Abackup2.vbs 327 For Each fil In...

I just tried the simplest sequence and it did NOT fail. It worked. I will keep an eye on it and try to figure out what sequence causes it to fail. Here's the sequence that worked fine: 1. Open an instance of Media Monkey 2. Open a second instance of Media Monkey 3. From the second instance, Hit Play...

When two instances of MediaMonkey are open, Stop playback after current file does not work from the second MediaMonkey to have opened.

Is there an instruction manual? I've searched and this 96 page thread is the closest thing I've found. What is Output Archive? Why does it have a browse feature? Why doesn't it go to the Output Path? Why can't I dot it? What is the purpose of "Second archive?" Why multiple paths? With answers to tho...

The equalizer should display the name of the .sde file currently in use. And if a modification has been made and not stored, then it should say “modified” or some how warn that this configuration has not been saved. Currently, we are flying blind... not knowing which .sde file is currently in use an...

The song ratings showed up today. It was after I did a scan of my song folders. I think the problems was that previously, I scanned and then ran the script to correct the song locations. This time, the correction had already been run.
In any case, 3,000 song ratings are back!
Thanks!

I just had to rebuild my Windows 10 system and reload all files from backup. The song star ratings for the most part have not been recovered. How can I recover the song ratings?

(I have used the "Update locations of files in database" script to compensate for the new location of the songs.)

Thanks.

Thanks. I uninstalled MM. And then reinstalled it allowing full overriding of Windows themes.
No difference. Regardless of the theme I choose, the player looks the same.

The first time I install a new skin from the .mmip file, things look good. I get a message: "G-Monkey Skin for MM4 was successfully." (full quote as displayed) All looks good. With the next launch, it reverts back to the prior layout. Selecting any listed skin from Tools > Options > Skins, makes no ...

That link no longer works.

For unrelated reasons, I had to do a Windows system restore. The problem with the last 50 played was solved by the restore.
Thanks!

The "Last 50 Played" stopped working for me. It used to update when I clicked on it. Now it just stays blank.
I tried to make sense of this thread, but the pictures are no longer available.
(My computer did an unattended reboot, which some how affected MediaMonkey's settings.)
Thanks!
