1. I tried to convert some MP3s from 192k bitrate to 56k using the builtin MP3 encoder (Lame) w/command-line options of '-b 56 -m m'. What MJ produced was MP3 files twice the size (time-wise...a 5 min song became 10 mins long, etc) and playing them back they were 1/2 the normal speed (sloooow motion). I used the same command-line options with the external encoder and Lame.exe v3.91 and the files were converted properly (as usual).
Update:
I tried using the builtin MP3 encoder w/o using command-line options (setting Normal and bitrate 56) and it worked fine. Might be the -m m (mono) option that is screwing up MJ (somehow...).
Also:
1. Any way to fix the MP3 Encoder display when using Custom command-line options to not display the Quality (bitrate)? Because, the command-line options could have the bitrate in them and displaying the Quality after the MP3 Encoder (like 'MP3 Encoder 128KBps') is not correct. Something more appropriate like 'MP3 Encoder (Custom)' or 'MP3 Encoder
Post by: ZRocker on January 26, 2002, 05:11:46 am
Try this:
1. Set 'Update Media Jukebox database' off (in Options > Converter Settings)
2. Use Convert Format on an imported MP3 file to convert to a lower bitrate (say 128)
3. Use Windows Explorer to add the converted MP3 to the Playing Now playlist (via right-click menu)
4. Play the converted MP3...stop...and delete the track from the Playing Now playlist
5. Delete the converted MP3 from the harddisk now (via Windows Explorer)
6. Use Convert Format on the same MP3 file again and convert to a different, lower bitrate (say 56)
7. Use Windows Explorer to add the converted MP3 to the Playing Now playlist
8. Here's the bug: MJ uses some cached information to display the MP3 file's details (ex: file size) in the Playing Now content window, but the Player Window displays the correct information. I suspect *all* Playing Now context window info is derived from cached info from the prior MP3's 'Add to Playing Now' action (because the filenames were exactly the same).
I noticed this bug first when testing the bug reported above about using Convert Format with command-line options and MJ producing files twice the length (time-wise) and half the speed (playback-wise)...I saw the time and file size displayed wrong in MJ's Playing Now content window (when I tested w/o using the command-line options and trying 'Normal' at 56kbps).

Adding a file to a playlist -> Right click, Send To, Playlist, Create / Select Playlist..., CANCEL, adds any song (even unimported) to the end of "Playing Now". It also changes the drop target to "Playing Now - Add (to end)"

1. I built a 16-track audio burn list (from imported MP3 files) and started the burn process...while the 1st track in the list was playing in MJ. MJ burned the Audio CD and gave no errors...success. Only, the audio CD created was corrupt because the 1st track did not burn correctly (burned as a zero-length file, I think). Any attempt to play the CD back in MJ would cause MJ to crash...the CDPlayer.INI entry for the newly created CD was currupt (garbage as well). I was able to play the CD back in my portable CD player...but playback started from Track #2 (#1 was missing/corrupt). I guess MJ's burner has a problem burning tracks that are currently being played back in MJ (ie, unable to access the MP3 file).
2. How are you supposed to use the Repeat Previous Burn option if the CD burn buttons (Start, Cancel, and Opitons) are hidden after each burn (ie, you can't access Repeat Previous Burn unless you start another burn list).

1. In mini-me mode, the playlist still flickers sometimes when moved. At least I notice it with the "Saona" skin.
2. Whenever in mini-me mode, MJ will stop playing when the track in a playlist in finished instead of playing the next track in the playlist. This happens whether the playlist is started in mini-me mode, or if it is started in mega-me mode and then switched to mini-me mode. Playlist play fine in mega-me mode though.

Just upgraded from 7.2.280 to 8.0.189 beta
some observations.....
1.Still can't get cdplayer.ini info into MJ, appears to only access cddb. Can there be an option so that MJ can be forced to obtain info from cdplayer.ini instead of cddb. I have a large amount of info in my .ini file that I can't get into MJ. Other programs seem to be able to access it.
Stop press!! think I may have found the problem: The cd player ini will only hold a certain amount of album? when I looked at it it had 64kb in it. When I exported to it from my Collectorz database it increased to 495kb, and I daresay next time I start up the computer it will be back to 64kb, atleast that's what I think is happening. Anyone else?
2. Although I have 30 days left in my trial period, when I try to use the downloaded mp3 encoder it tells me that my time has expired?
3. Not a bug: In cd labeller, do we have to have the MJ logo on the spine of the cd as well? It looks pretty average in black & white on my basic printer.
Great program

I've just ripped four CDs my son got for xmas but there has been a bit of a problem. Every CD I ripped had two or three tracks that MJ failed to import, it ripped them and encoded them but then failed to import and so deleted them. If I then re rip the missing tracks MJ does the job fine. I've ripped a couple of hundred albums with MJ and have only had problems with about six tracks, which I knew were damaged anyway.

From the cd burn options, choose the full label editor. Click on the spine logo in order to select it and then click on the graphics button on the upper toolbar. This will then give you the option to 'delete image' which will take you to Nirvanah (the place - not the group !!)
Good luck - Jim

This prob originally posted in 188 but it's closed for any further postings so have dragged it over here. Thanks for replying and I understand what you're saying. I have'nt got any great ideas for you, but if I explain what I use data burns for, maybe it'll help.
Firstly, it's used for backing up my music tracks to cdr/w's. At the mo, I've got about 700 tracks so can fit them on about 5 or 6 cdr/w's which is'nt too much of a prob (it might be for KingS !! but suits me at the mo). My tracks are filed under C:Music\artist\album so it would suit me fine if I could just drop them onto the cd under artist\album
Secondly, I do a lot of digital photography and each time I download a new lot from the camera to the pc, I file them under C:Windows\Desktop\Images\folderxxxxxxx\ (where folderxxxxx is a unique desc of the photo session). What I would like, is to drag 'folderxxxx' to the burn window, including the files within it, and output it to 'folderxxxx' on the cd. At the moment, I can't drag a folder to the cd burn window so I have to drag them as individual files. Then if I go to 'rearrange cd folders, and play around, the nearest I can get to an ouput cd folder is E:Windows\Desktop\Images\folderxxxx\. Now, this ain't the end of the world and I can live with it as it stands 'cos I'm more than happy that I can do all of my playing around in just the MJ application and can now get rid of Adaptec. But, a bit more control of :-
a. being able to drag folders into the cd burn window, and
b. being able to name the output folders
would be more than gratefully received. Personally, I'll be using data burns a lot more when it's finally finished - backing up letters, emails etc etc - the price of cdr/w's is low enough to make it a viable proposition. I know I can do all the bits and bobs I want from various apps, but I'd much rather have them all in one place - I don't want to be clever in lots of apps, only one - if you take my point.
Hope that helps - thanks - Jim
ORIGINAL POSTING IN 188 :-
Problems with data burn -
1. Go to data burn/options/rearrange cd folders and select artist/album
2. drag a few tracks into the cd burn list from explorer
3. note that there is no destination folder mentioned under folder
4. repeat step1
5. the output folders now appear
Also --
If you try to rearrange the order of output files in the burn list by dragging, MJ crashes
Jim
JollyJim-
The first problem you mention is really by design in Media Jukebox. When you drag files into the CD burning window, it assumes you want the files to go to whatever tree folder is currently selected. So if the root folder is selected and you drag files in, they will go into the root folder. If you then click "rearrange data folders" and select (or re-select) "album/artist", they will be rearranged into those folders. I know it's a little confusing because the "rearrange folders" menu option has a checkmark next to "album/artist" so you think it's always in that "mode", but it's just showing the last rearrange option you chose. Suggestions on how to make this clearer are welcome.
The second problem you mentioned will be fixed in the next build.
Thanks,

Not familiar with the issues, so have more questions than answers. Apologies in advance for anything that should be self-evident.
Hadn't thought about moving data from Collectorz to MJ, but seems you can. I used Collectorz to catalogue my library; most of the files are not on my hard drive. So, consistent with MJ's scheme, I'd like to move them into the CD&DVD folder in the media view. (CDs I scan in using CDDB only appear there, not in the main library.)
When you export to cdplayer.ini from Collectorz and then reimport into MJ, where does the data go: the main library? CD&DVD? What's the appropriate file type for the data in cdplayer.ini - one of the playlists? Is there any way to direct the data to CD&DVD, not the main library?
Thanks for yr input - regrets I couldn't provide any of my own.

Post by: JollyJim on January 27, 2002, 03:02:52 am
Yeah, I've had this problem a coupla times. Each time it's been because the ripped track has had some invalid data within it. The tracks would play ok but would refuse to be converted or burnt. Each time, I deleted the offending tracks and reripped and then they were ok. I'm not sure this is an MJ problem - it could be as simple as a spike on the voltage, dust on the cd etc etc etc

If you open a mp3 that doesn't have id3v2 tags but have "support extended fields" checked and edit all the info, and click save, then the id3v2 tag is created. When doing everything including replay gain, the info isn't stored cause it thinks it's id3v1. Once it sees it is v2 before the change, it will store the info but you can't do it all at one time.

Settings/plugin manager shows my MP3 plugin as being version 1.1 The buttons for 'About' and 'Configure' are greyed out. If I try to download the latest MP3 plugin, I get a 'Destination file in use' and 'Cannot continue' message at the end of the download. I get this message whether MJ is up and running or not.

Exactly right. Export from Collectorz (Music Collector) to cd player.ini and then MJ SHOULD be able to read the basic information of artist/album/track title. The problem is, it's not doing it. I also use Cdex which is able to read the cdplayer.ini file. Interestingly Cdex does give a menu option of reading from the ini file. Mj seems to rely on getting it from cddb and currently ignores the ini file (at least on my computer anyway). Pehaps one of the MJ people can tell us if there is currently a problem in reading the ini file as my cd collection info all appears in the ini file but unless i'm online to get Cddb all I get is track 1, track 2 etc and under devices "Audio Cd (16) etc.
The info seems to get automatically transferred from "Devices" to Main Library |PLS|CD & DVD. Problem with this is that you end up with myriad generic named cds in the library. Suggestion: Why not give an option to export or not export the cd info to the main library?

1. MJ's Mini-mi support for Winamp skins is bugged. I'm using the Media Jukebox skin (from 7.2) and MJ 8.0 can not consistantly display it correctly. If I place the Mini-me player window and playlist window in rolled-up mode and edge-to-edge (docked), MJ can not re-display the Mini-me windows correctly after return to Mega-me (places the windows overlapping each other by about an inch). If I place the player window, playlist window and EQ window edge-to-edge in restored (non-rolled-up) mode, MJ really screws up trying to re-display them (after Mega-me)...the playlist window was drawn off the top of the screen with about 1/8 inch showing (for example). I'm not fond of the new Silly-me skins (ie, those odd-shaped, over-sized skins) in 8.0 Mini-me and would like to continue using Winamp-style skins (if possible).
2. While perusing (cycling thru) all the visualizations in 8.0, MJ would crash about every 5th or 6th time I changed visualizations. No particular visualization was the bad guy...seemed that any would crash MJ.

I've asked about the possibility of using Quicktime's engine for Quicktime support. IIRC, the response was that the last time they looked into it, it looked to be a royal PITA, but that they'd look into it again. Let's keep our fingers crossed. If they can do it, MJ really will be an all-in-one solution.
Then, if I can just figure out how to play these darn AVI's that I created with AverMedia's USB TV Tuner, I'd be all set.
The last time I checked, their software didn't seem to work correctly under XP.

1. When I create a custom eq and name it, how do I make changes to that preset (over-write it)? It seems I have to load it, change it, add it and delete the old one. There should be an overwrite button too.
2. The eq settings get screwed up going to a mini-me skin. The "Rotor" skin shows the "EQ10" fader as -12db, even though it's actually 0db. The other 2 skins show the preamp setting at 0db and all the other faders (EQ1 - EQ10) down about -3db, even though they are not in the Mega-Me. The tooltips show EQ1, EQ2, etc., rather than the helpful "80Hz, -3db" tips that are shown in the mega-me. Just had a thought... Maybe these skins are winamp skins and are not 100% compatible??
3. Is there no way to have an option to have the eq shown all the time as it was in MJ7.2?

========
Bug - In visualization mode / right click menu / Quick Play / Playlists - the resultant list isn't sorted at all. Difficult to find the target playlist.
1) When in or switching to playing now MJ should auto scroll to the song currently playing and keep the currently playing song in view, preferably at the top of the list and the list should scroll already played songs off the top of the list out of view. If I switch to "Display" then back to "Playlist" the current song isn't visible.
2) Would it be possible to add the "Locate File" menu selection to the right click menu when viewing a visualaization?
3) This one might be a bit weird.. Would it be possible to have an option to selectively hide individual playlists and a "show hidden playlists" menu option? (example - I have a playlist called "replay gained" and I select this when I've ran replay gain analysis on a song. I then create a smartlist that skips "replay gained" so that I have a resultant list of songs that need to be analyized. I want to see the smartlist in tree view but do not need to see the "replay gained" playlist.
4) In File Properties, is it necessary to view smartlists? You can't add a song to a smartlist like that anyway.
5)(Not sure this is a bug or by design). In Track Info view, selecting "extra" and viewing the Playlists - this field seems to be a fixed length. Can this be made MUCH bigger so I can see all the playlists a song is in?
6)Some way to see a count of the number of albums. I see total songs in the status bar but can't find a count for albums. What about a database statistics dialog showing totals for songs, ablums, disk space, playtime, etc... ?

Initiate play, select properties for that file, edit, attempt to save changes, MJ freezes. Can escape only through Ctrl Alt Del. This was also a problem in earlier builds, I believe.
Attempt to replicate with DSP deselected, equalizer on. Ozone appears anyhow, then MJ error message indicating no audio playback device available, then MJ crashes.
Haven't yet uninstalled Ozone to see what effect that might have. Any reported issues with the Ozone plug-in?

Regarding Diskwriter:
First, let me tell you that I am STARTING with a 44K 16bit stereo wave file and attempting to apply DSP effects to them and writing them out to another wave file.
What I found yesterday was that for some reason it is important that the Artist be filled in on the Properties page for the track! Also, you are quite correct, that until you exit MJ, the file remains locked. I'll leave this one up to you to figure out why the artist needs to be filled in. Incidentally, why wouldn't diskwriter follow the same basic naming conventions outlined on the File Naming and Location page?
Thanks,
Blaine

I never could get Ozone to work in MJ at all. I installed it to MJ's plugin directory but no go. I ran it in Winamp and got interested but I uninstalled and then reinstalled in MJ but it never did anything. There is no .dll file of any kind.

Diskwriter should unlock the files when it's done playing next build. As for more advanced naming, we may do it, but we need to take care of the big, ugly stuff first.

If I switch to "Display" then back to "Playlist" the current song isn't visible.
It does show the playing file when you switch to Playing Now from another view. However, we don't make sure it's visible with each track change because if you're editing somewhere else in the list and the songs change, you'll lose your spot. We could go either way -- what makes more sense?
>2) Would it be possible to add the "Locate File" menu selection to the right click menu when viewing a visualaization?
Well... maybe. For now, just got the "Send To" in that we promised you a while back. The reason it's a bit tricky is because the display menus are a totally different system from the rest of the menus in MJ.
>3) This one might be a bit weird.. Would it be possible to have an option to selectively hide individual playlists and a "show hidden playlists" menu option? (example - I have a playlist called "replay gained" and I select this when I've ran replay gain analysis on a song. I then create a smartlist that skips "replay gained" so that I have a resultant list of songs that need to be analyized. I want to see the smartlist in tree view but do not need to see the "replay gained" playlist.
Sounds a little confusing. What if you nested hidden playlists a little more? (i.e. make a group called "Hidden" or something)
>4) In File Properties, is it necessary to view smartlists? You can't add a song to a smartlist like that anyway.
They shouldn't be there. It's a bug if they are, but I don't see them on my machine.
>5)(Not sure this is a bug or by design). In Track Info view, selecting "extra" and viewing the Playlists - this field seems to be a fixed length. Can this be made MUCH bigger so I can see all the playlists a song is in?
You can always edit the html, or even make your own templates. If you do, please send them our way.
>6)Some way to see a count of the number of albums. I see total songs in the status bar but can't find a count for albums. What about a database statistics dialog showing totals for songs, ablums, disk space, playtime, etc... ?
A lot of people have asked for this, so maybe we need to come up with something...
Thanks everyone.

1. Could there be a "Save As" button on the toolbar?
2. Could the "Save As" default directory be the correct directory? (i.e. Media Jukebox\Visualizations\ and then the type of Vis directory you're working from) It keeps wanting to save them in the same file as I save my ripped CD's.

- CD & DVD files are shown in my Playlist group where I created a smartlist to exclude all files that have no genre
- In visualisations & is displayed as underscore (_) (also in Mini me)
- How can I see what filter I'm using to play without having to go the the options menu ?
- Is there a way to play random songs so it plays songs more often with rating 5 and less often songs with rating 1 ?
- Quick Play/Playlists are not in alphabetical order
- When importing via the right mouse button or because of putting them in a playlist, the files do not appear in recently imported
- Can there be put a "select all" in the right mouse menu if in devices (my usb device)
- Is it possible to have the current TIME somewhere when in full screen mode ? (e.g. on the bottom bar in the right corner)

Bryan> Actually I did just that as a workaround. My thinkiing is that if certain playlists are used exclusively for library management and not to be used as a source of songs to play that they don't really need to be taking up screen real-estate.

Settings | Options | Startup settings. Would be nice if there was a "not beta" option.

In the first v.8's I had to deactivate the rip and encode simultanously to prevent a MJ error.
Now I dont have to deactivate that, BUT now MJ don't just continue to rip, but pauses until the encoder has done encoding, and then continues to rip one more song, and so on.
This can't be the idea? The time spent doing ripping and encoding is significantly prolonged this way comparing to the older versions (6 & 7) of MJ.
