Hiya,

At the moment I am on an evaluation version of Windows 10 so I have not set up the computer with stuff as yet, but I have downloaded the demo only to not be able to un rar it as I do not have WinRAR set up. If you don't mind me making a suggestion I would say that it would be better to use a zip file as windows can extract them without a problem, or at least have two versions but that might cause you some hassle then.

Regards

Mark
I am now retired from the jukebox scene. I still visit from time to time and will help if I can, but apart from that. I am no longer a slave to downloading and tagging.

I hate to be a pain but is there any chance that you can put the genre bar back please. I am not sure who has said that they don't use it but I know that personally I do and it is always good to have enough options for a variety of people.

I don't know what the genre bar was about, but I am pulling my hair out with skin tool, wanting to try and make the skin that I want and the genre bar sounds actually what I wanted.

Regards

Use the advanced mode and you can see exactly what is happening. Also if you are running vista or newer make sure that you set each of the exe's to run as admin by right clicking them selecting properties and then under compatibility setting them to run as admin.

If you run it in advanced mode you will see the progress, it takes about an hour to process 250,000 tracks on a usb hard drive for me. If it is getting information from the internet like missing album covers etc then it will take much longer the first time. As i say in advanced mode you can see what it is doing.

using advance, it creating error logs;

"380","Invalid property value","Form1","Generate_DB","Config v9.0.4"

Although it defaults to your program directory e.g C:\Program Files (x86) on install never install to that directory for a lot of programs you will have errors, deinstall and then install into c:\jukebox for example. When you run the config for the first time you are better off going into advanced mode as sometimes one album will not want to be imported. I had one album that would cause a program freeze every time that I tried to update my library so I removed that album and it scraped.

I would not worry about the error log so much although it is supposed to be just for that errors, but even when the system is working fine it still seems to throw up errors for some reason.

I would suggest doing a small import to start with just to get your database available, and then updating when it is done. It does take a bit of time and patience  but worthwhile in the end.
