Upgraded to Win 7 multiple file locations

Post by kazadharri »

I have just upgraded to Win 7 from Win xp, and MM is not performing too well and I wonder if it is because of where my files are located. It's symptoms are that when I click on any thing it goes into a MM is not responding hang up for at least 2 minutes before it acts to the mouse click. Or if it does respond it is really slow.


In the C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey folder it looks like exe files, and most of the DLL's are in this folder, and there is a Equalizer, License, plugins, scripts, skins folders are well with some files in each.

But in the folder: C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey it has the Mmediamonkey.ini file, extensions.ini file, and the folder also contains the following folders: Extensions, Metadatacache, plugins, scripts, skins. these folders also have files in them as well.

The Database is on a NAS that is hardcoded in the MM INI file.

Thanks/ Jeff

The problem most likely is the database on the NAS. Many NAS handle multiple file access poorly (slow performance). You may want to start with using File > Maintain Library with the complete optimization option enabled.

The file locations are expected and can't affect performance as they're all on the same drive.

I guess your problems stem from the DB on the NAS. The MM database is SQlite, it is not very network friendly.

I have been using my dbase on a NAS since 2007 and have not had any problems like this until I got a newer "faster" PC at the first on the month and went from Win XP to Win 7. That is the only change. So I am wondering if it was something with the Win 7 setup.

Nope, all the other locations you mentioned are standard for Win 7.

I'm sure if you try the DB locally you will notice much improved performance.
