Title: How do I edit play list and re-save as same
Post by: kingdaddy on January 25, 2019, 03:21:52 pm
I cant figure out how to add or delete songs from an existing playlist and resave as the same, I know this must be very simple but I haven't figured it out yet, can someone help?

delete a song by right clicking on it and choose remove from list....add the same way but drill down to the playlist you want to add to and choose add....simple.... ;D there are other ways but I find these to be the easiest!

Are you connecting one copy of MC to another?

Ok, I just went through the motions of removing a song from the playlist and adding a different song - closed the playlist and opened it and the changes I made were there. Shutdown MC and restarted it and went to the modified playlist and the changes I had made were still there, so I cannot see why your machine won't do this. Can I ask which MC version and operating system you are using? Are you using a client /server setup?

I did have this warning come up but I don't know if its related or even what to do about it as everything seems to be working.

Media Center is running but there may be a problem:
1. the program is also running under a different account
2.Media Center 23 and Media Server are both in windows startup
3.The program is not responding for an unknown reason

I notice from a previous post that you have recently had a rebuild of your PC which may have altered the account statuses on your machine  - you need to check out the accounts and make sure that they are not a bit different from what you previously had. It looks to me that you are running in a read only mode hence your inability to alter playlists.

Right now its unregistered because I don't have Internet connection on this machine and it wont take my key because it says it cant verify.  I didn't know it had to have a internet connection to verify, shurly many are running music servers that are not connected to the internet.

Well, I would get it on the internet soon because you will probably be running a 30 day trial period.

I cannot connect to the internet, ive tried everything and my service provider will not help with windows xp.  Is there not some workaround.  When I put my license key in it says it cannot verify.

Windows XP isn't supported anymore by JRiver with the newer MC releases. And for MC to successfully be licensed, it has to be connected to the internet while licensing it.

If I have to start over again and build a new server I will have to use a 64 bit version of windows because I cant find 32 bit versions for sale under $200. Will I have to buy jrivers MC all over again (for the third time)?

No.  Both 32 and 64 bit will work on a 64 bit machine. Both use the sa.e license.

What CPU do you have? I mean, when you build a new server are you going to get a new CPU for it? If so, the CPU should support 64-bit (and 64-bit OSes) unless it's something like a cheap, low powered Intel Atom CPU.

its a core 2 duo either a e8300 or e8500 cant remember which.  I think its 64 bit compatible but I cant find any info on it.
