SongKong for Melco - Wizard

#1

Hullo

Using SongKong on Melco where I have about 14,000 songs making up 850 albums.
Sorry to be bit dense here. I have selected the wizard but nothing seems to be happening. All I see is changes in the file size figure at the bottom right of the screen (so now for instance “29MB Of 2,667MB”, though it has been 192MB of and 47MB of.)
I am guessing the varying number is the folder size and that the Wizard is doing something but it has been running a long while now, about 18 hours.
Is all well?
Should I stop it?

Running the Windows 64bit version and that seems happy in all other respects. I have run preview and some test edits no trouble.

Sorry missed this post.

The wizard is just for configuring SongKong for iTunes, it does nothing else, I probably need to expand its functionality or remove it. On standard SongKong on OSX it runs on first install which would have made it clearer for you.

The figure in the bottom right hand corner is simply memory used/total memory allocated its constantly shifts a little. It increases somewhat more when actually running Fix Songs

Hello,

Just installed SK for MELCO on my Mac and Selecting a folder then clicking FixSongs just grays the small window SongKong for Melco v4.13 (Melco) and nothing.
Just a counter looping from 35 Mb to 155 Mb.
Thanks for your help.

Are you sure you clicked on Fix Songs not Watch Folder, please cancel and try again

#5

Hi Paul,

I can’t cancel and I have to close and reopen SK. But clicking Fix Songs opens no window and restarts the same behaviour.
Fact is that I previously SK then SK for Melco on top.
Should I uninstall SK for Melco and how do I do it safely on my Mac ??

Regards,
Claude.

Thats not the issue, try running File:Empty Database and if that doesnt work please run Create Support Files from the Help menu

#7

Paul,

Did File:Empty Database (in French) and seems ok.
Now clicking Fix Songs, window “R�parer les chansons” opens.

Still the countdown window behind.

Thank you,

Claude.

Hi Paul,

Fact is that I tried on a local database on my Mac but now I returned home and tried Fix Songs on the Melco /volumes/share and I can see that SK has no Access Allowed on the database.
Do you know how do I allow SK to access the MELCO share folder ?

Regards,
Claude.

I think I have understood my problem.

In the share general folder there is a sub folder for my .WAV files and SK seems to hang up when it scans it.

Is SK able to tag .WAV files or do I NEED JAIKOZ for that ?

Claude.

Hi Claude

SongKong can scan .WAV files, but I recently found a bug whereby if the first file SongKong loads in a Fix Songs run is a Wav file and it contains a ListINFO tag but not an ID3 tag then you can get a problem

https://jthink.atlassian.net/browse/SONGKONG-1393

This is fixed for next release, but in meantime you just need to ensure no wav file loaded first. Once the Wav files have been corrected by Songkong the problem should not reoccur.

Paul,

Well, don’t know how to ensure that !! Actually I avoid this folder :slight_smile:

Claude.

#12

Paul,

I don’t understand why SK doesn’t write in the folder the artwork folder.jpg for some albums and works fine for others …

Claude.

#13

Is this on the Melco ?
There is a known issue that if your Melco has been used to rip Cd’s and retrieve that artwork from Gracenote then SongKong does not have permission to overwrite the artwork created by Gracenote, could that be the issue.

Just put an mp3/or flac in the folder so alphabetically it is first, i.e aaa.mp3

#15

Paul,

No, no CD rip.
In those folders there are no folder.jpg file yet. I have the artwork in a .jpg file with another name.

#16

Okay well please send me support files and an example

#17

Hi Claude, did you sort out your unable to access Melco /volumes/share from Mac issue (that you asked alan about) ?

#18

Hi Paul,

Yes this unable access problem is solved.
Just remaining the bug concerning the wav files which hangs up SK.

#19

Paul,

Support files sent.
How do I send you my example: 3Go size ?

#20

I just mean explain particular issue, I have your reports but can you indicate an album that has Songkong has found artwork for but not saved it to the hard drive.
