Title: Doesn't recognize all songs or albums
Post by: markarkark on January 02, 2012, 06:24:07 pm

Hello,
I imported my music from a file on my computer, all of my albums are mp3s.  However, many of them didn't show up as separate albums, they are grouped into an album called, "Unassigned."  In addition many songs are saved into separate albums with one or two of the songs from the album, other albums do not have all of the songs on them.  Is there a way to fix this, or at least add them manually?

The default views in MJ/MC group by Albums, Artists, etc.  It uses the TAGs that are contained in the files.

Select all the files for an Album, use the Action Window > Tag, and set the Album to a single value.  You'll likely see that it says "[Varies]", or is empty, which is why the groupings are not what you desire.

While you're there, check the Artist.

Hi everyone,
Before trying MC I used Media Monkey for my DJing and there were more than 500 songs in the library. When I installed the MC, it automatically imported only 417 songs probably from basic hard drives, some songs are missing for sure. How can I import missing songs that I had before in Media Monkey library?

Can you identify one or more of the tracks that were not imported?  Anything particular about the file type, location?

Look at the paths configured in

   Tools > Import > Configure Auto-Import

and compare those against your music folder tree.

Of course it is different. What I did: I copied the path of missing song (it includes Dropbox) and put it into "Open" window and it works, song is imported, but works only song  by song. It is so slow, and besides, it is hard to determine what songs are missing comparatively with Media Monkey library. Any thoughts?

Did you examine Auto-Import folders as mentioned?  Does it include the highest level folder(s) for your music?
