I just updated to 7.008. Generated my library, and started it up. I have 3 albums at the front that I don't want there. Opening the first shows the only "track" as "lastplayed". Opening the second shows the only track as "fl8". Opening the third shows the only track as "fl8". I updated the database to remove missing files, but don't know why I have these. Didn't see anything obvious in the options about turning them off or removing them, and didn't see anything in my searching here...
Okay, I have 4 of these folders now. I have determined that the 1st two are for Internet Radio (which I'm not using) and the other is for Content.IE5 - whatever that is. Is there anything I can do to remove these? I won't be using Internet Radio or the other thing. I just want it to show the files I have loaded into the database folders...
I'm off to search on the radio stuff to see if I can find anything...
Open up the config in advanced mode and you will see the path to them. Remove them and generate the DB again and you should set.
Thanks for the reply. Either I'm not seeing how to do this, or it's not working.
Here is how I am generating my database in Audio. You can see the four blank albums on the right:

Nothing is shown in the Radio section:

Now, as for removing those blank albums, when I select one and click "Remove Album:, I get this:

If I click "OK", then Config closes.
Should I be doing something else?
yeah im getting the same. even though my albums are all tagged properly the artist doesnt show for around 10 albums.
ive tried to edit the album but then it doesnt show up etouch with the edited tags. and if i try to remove them i get the same runtime.
I have just made some fixes to editting an album in the config but the error you guys are seeing seems to be linked to windows 7
Yes, I'm using Windows 7.
Another thing I've noticed is that when I try to edit an album in Config:
If I select an album and click "Edit Album", it almost always opens a different album than the one I selected. For example, it has Def Leppard's Pyromania album listed as Various Artists, even though the tag says Def Leppard. When I try to edit it in Config, it opens a Monkees album instead...

Do I need to redownload and install for whatever fixes you just made? Or will you be posting the new version soon...;

I just posted up a new beta but it will not fix the windows 7 file path access error. To fix that try running the config in admin mode.
Thanks, I was able to remove those albums running in admin, and can now edit the correct albums titles. Still have to figure out why some are showing as Various Artists when the tags look identical to other albums by the same artist that are showing up properly. Plus, I need to figure out how to have a soundtrack listed by the movie name (album title) rather than in the V's for "Various Artists"...
Okay, got the new mp3tag software and discovered a couple songs on each artist had the artist name doubled (Def Leppard/Def Leppard) for some reason. Fixed it, and then changed all the compilations (soundtracks) to list by Album name, and everything is the way it should be.
Thanks for the support...
Well, I spoke too soon. Everything is working right, but for some reason it shows that last album in the list 5 times - all with the same song. Only shows one in config. Doesn't matter which album is last, it shows 5 times.
I think i saw this mentioned somewhere here, so I'm going to check to see if a fix was posted...
Another issue. I had it playing on Random, and everything went fine until it stopped playing. I went to see what was up, and it was attempting to play "fl8" from the album "Content.IE5" even though I removed that album and it is no longer showing on the album lists...

Is it still in the genre or artist file?
Um - I don't know? I assumed that if it wasn't in an album listed in my database, then it couldn't be played...

What do you have set for your random play? A screen shot of your random play options screen should help find out what is going on.
Here ya go. Perhaps the "most played" listed in Genres?

Another weird issue using 7.0.9:
Was having a problem, so i uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled. Regenerated as admin, deleted the 4 folders I didn't want, and started up. Scrolled down to find my last album listed 5 times. Exited and went into config. Last album now listed 5 times. removed the bottom four and restarted the program. Now when I scroll all the way to the last album (Train), it populates the last page with extra albums (not always the same if I exit and restart the program) with the normal last 5 albums listed on top but with the wrong album cover image. Clicking the album will give me the songs for what the words say the album is, not the picture.
Furthermore, I can no longer use the arrows on the right to navigate. Sliding the bar up and down doesn't change the albums shown.
here's a shot:

Excellent! The Beta03 release fixed all my issues. I still have to delete the four internet radio albums at the beginning, but I no longer get the last album 5 times, no longer get random albums at the end with a frozen scroll bar, and no longer get the last album on page one repeated at the top of page 2.
Time will tell whether I get that thing on Random Play again, but I hope not.
Thanks for your support!!!!
