Media Manager - Album Info

Folks,
I have about 300 CDs ripped as wav files to my PC. The are organized in folders artist/album. I have managed to get Media Monkey (a music manager) and Windows Media Player 11 to recognize album names and display album art even though wav files don't really have tags.
I can't get media manager to grab album names. Oh well that's life. But I can't even manually input the info. If I did few each night it would get done.
Any thoughts on this. I can browse by folder, which is the album name, but then I have to remember who the artist is The irony is it shows the album art!!
Is it just me, or is Verizon just plain bad at software design.
Any help is appreciated

There can be problems with media manager if your source clips do not have a reel associated with them (as happens with imported files as opposed to captured material). Try creating a tape name in the browser for these clips. This may solve your problem.

Script Error report when trying to "Find Album Info" for music in Windows Media Player

When I click on "Find Album Info" in Windows Media Player, it finds the correct media info. But when I click "Finish" after verifying everything is correct, it says "An error has occurred on this script page" and asks if I want to continue. I click
yes, it goes back to the last page of finding album info, I again click "Finish" to find the same "Script error" page?

Sir, that means the Windows Firewall Blocked the Script So try these steps hope it works for you :
1.) - Open the "Start Menu".
2.) - Go to the "Control Panel".
3.) - Double click "Security Center".
4.) - Click "Windows Firewall" in the top left.
5.) - Click "Change settings".
6.) - Click "Continue".
7.) - Click the "Exceptions" tab.
8.) - Scroll down and check all of the "Windows Media Player" options.

Vcast Media Manager won't play some songs after Correcting Song Info

I recently installed Vcast MM 1.1 build 11 (most recent version that I see).
I imported all my local media into MM just fine.
However, after using the 'Correct Song Info' feature, several songs no longer play in the MM player.
Before using this feature, these songs played fine.
I have not tried playing them yet in another player but I will.
Is there a known issue with this feature? Is there anything I can do to get these to play in the Vcast MM player once again?
I like this feature since I have a lot of songs that don't have good info and this is a nice way to correct those.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.
You are correct, I did not change the file type. I only changed the Genre, Album info etc. And I definitely did not change the file location.
I don't believe the 'Correct Song Info' feature even tries to change the file type. I think it's only meant to change ID3 tag info.

VCast Media Manager Will Not Download Purchased MP3 Album to PC

VCast Media Manager Will Not Download Purchased MP3 Album to my PC, but has deducted the purchase from my account. Clicking Download Manager tab gives the message "Please sign into the store", even though I am logged in.
In the past when this problem occurs Loging out and Login In to the store has worked and started the download , but not this time. There is no tab on the Shopping Cart to Log out of Store. I have tried exiting and restarting VCast Media Manager and also rebooting the system. I am running VCast Version 1.5.0 Build 1652 which is reported as the latest. System is meets all requirements Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4 GB RAM, Sound Card and Video Card.
If I need to re-install VCast Media Manager how can the data be saved that determines I am owed a download?
Thanks.

I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.

Difficult to edit album info in new iTunes.

Every since the new iTunes 11 I get frustrated every day.
I can't seem to organize my files like I used to. I used to be able to click control i = edit album info..I'd be able to hit "next" and organize info for every track in the album. I can no longer do that. I have to click on every single song seperately and edit it..no more next next next. Anyways..this is just one way the new iTunes is driving me nuts.
Why did they change it???
It was fine the way it has been for years.
If anyone knows how to easily edit album info, please let me know.
I mostly have problems when importing new music from downloaded mp3 files..unheard of things, like homeschooling history lessons audiobooks. Then I import it and sometimes it shuffles it up into 2 albums instead of one and I have to go back and highlight things, erase things, rename things, to get it to realize that this is one album, with many tracks.
Sigh.
Any help appreciated.
Also, if iTunes people read this: If it's not broken, don't fix it. No idea why they changed the way iTunes looks. It's so much more difficult to use now.

I have always managed my music manually, just tried the way you do it, cleaned up my libary synced with my phone and all is OK. Made edits and resynced all OK.
Will manage all my music via the libary which I suppose is the best way to do it anyway.
Thanks alot for your help.

MEDIA MANAGER NOT HANDLING AFTER EFFECTS 7.0 RENDERS

Bullseye Media Manager

Hello,
I just finished a working version of a media manager I use for my personal account to handle my music and pictures collection. I decided to published it on AUR as I assume it might interest some people.
It's a python app with several modules.
Here's a little sum up of what it is about :
Music module
- Inspired by Amarok 1.4 and Exaile
- Library browser show rating sum, playcount sum and burn factor by node (artist, album, track, etc...). Burn factor is high if you've listened a lot to a few tracks of a node.
- Advanced queue managment with several flags to apply on queued tracks :
Stop flag : Once the player is done playing this track it will stop global playback
Temp jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then go back where it left
Perm jump : Once the player is done playing the current track, it will play this track and then continue playback from here
Bridge source : Once the player is done playing this track, it will move to the bridge dest of this bridge source (if there is one)
Bride dest : Tells that this track is where the matching bridge source will lead when listened
- Passive filters : hide tracks you do not want to see by showing only those matching filters, useful if you have a large collection and at some point just listen to a few tracks. Can be seen as content view modes.
- Session saving/loading
- Last.fm scrobbling with offline cache support
- Function to sync playcounts with Last.fm account
- Function to import ratings from another Bullseye database (including BullseyeDroid)
Other modules (pictures, videos, and later custom)
- Manages files based on what there are and not just where they are on the disk
Basically, what you have to do with these modules is creating categories (~ based on subject form) and universes (~ based on subject content). Then after Bullseye has scanned indexed folders for new files, you load some of these files and drag and drop them in the matching categories / universes. You can create an arborescence of categories and universes. For example, I can create the root category "Characters" and a sub-category "Warriors" to it. I can also create a root universe "Dragon Ball" and a sub-universe "Piccolo" to it. Then if I have a picture of the warrior character Piccolo from Dragon Ball, I'll load it and drag and drop it in "Warriors" and "Piccolo". This picture will then matches the criteria "Characters", "Warriors", "Dragon Ball" and "Piccolo".
- Can move every indexed files to a proper structure. If you just download and copy files, search for them in Bullseye then add them in the proper category and universe, it will work. But it will be a real mess on disk. Bullseye can move every indexed files to a proper structure on disk, based on categories, universes or both.
- Function to check for doubloons
- Video & Music module support multiple backends : GStreamer, VLC, Phonon and MPlayer (not there right now)
Music module browser and flags demo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF5114mLWhQ
Categories & Universes management introduction with pictures module : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3i1plNSpsg
Gtk2 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58903
Qt4 package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58905
Theses versions are not really polished but should work quite properly (but they probably contain bugs since no one has used them except me).
Thanks for any feedback.

Qt Version was broken, and wasn't loading the database (thus no music was showing).
My vim setup trims extra whitespace from files, so I created a diff that ignores white space to allow a cleaner application of the patch:

def loadModuleMenus(self, module):
As a side note, there seems to be a lot of differences between the gtk and qt versions. Aside from potentially not having qt installed, is there a reason to maintain two versions? Alternatively, i wonder if it would make since to separate the project into a library and the gui's which implement the library (kind of like xmms and mpd do)? These are just ramblings, so feel free to ignore this part of my reply. the important part is the patch. :-)

Final Cut Server + Media Manager Best Practices

Is anyone using Final Cut Server to organize FCP Media Manager?
I don`t want MM and it`s individual contains cataloged by FCS, only a "bundle" from the directory of MM (that has the project and a sub-directory called Media with all medias from that project).
I`ve tried different solutions but always get stuck in some way.
1- Get the directory from MM and put on a Device being watched by a scan production. A production with the name from the directory is created and the project and medias are catalogued as well.
But I don`t want those medias and projects catalogued by FCS. I`ve tried to set the recursion limit to 0 or 1 but the production is not created, neither the bundle (from the directory) asset. Nevertheless you can`t archive productions (with MatrixStore you can), so a workaround would be to archive only the bundle inside the production (if you managed to get only the directory as a bundle inside the production). But to get worse, if you update the directory as a bundle (regardless if it`s inside a production or not) and your archive device is a FTP device it says "ERROR: E_NOTSUPP Sorry, copying a bundle to an ftp server is not supported".
2- Zip with "ditto" (because the 2GB problem with normal zip) the MM directory and put on a device being watched. This won`t be scanned by a scan production to create a production with the name of it contents because it`s not a directory it`s a zip file and even if I forget about productions and only uploads the zip files to get each MM directory created as a zip takes too long and much cpu power so it`s not possible with many MM directories (the case). And to get things worse (always murphy), before I`ve deleted those directories I checked the integrity of zip files and to my surprise some of them were ruined. So I don`t trust compressing anything for my backup. I`ve tried Tar, ditto, archive from finder (that`s the same as ditto) but it takes too long or break the file.
The bottom line: I just want a MM as directory bundle in FCS (preferentially inside a production automatically created) AND being able to archive it to a FTP device.
Thanks in advance

Well it sounds like you have two problems: getting a successful scan production to work and archiving. I think I can help with the first one.
When you set up your device make sure that it is one directory level up from each folder you want turned into a production. So for example - XSAN/Show1/MM/ - if you make XSAN the device and set the recursion limit to 0, Show1 will become a production and Show2, Show3, etc for example. Set the recursion limit to 1 and MM becomes a production - Show2/MM/ and Show3/MM, etc for example.
Here's what I would do. Device 1 = XSAN/Show1 with recursion = 0. In the production info section of the scan production response set the title = Show1_[0]. The [0] will automatically fill in the name of the directory, ie - MM. This way each folder within Show1 becomes a production and the name is preceded by Show1 for easy sorting. This way you can isolate your MM folder and treat it differently.
That should get your productions scanning correctly. I'm not sure about archiving to an FTP device, zipping bundles, or automatically adding bundled assets to productions with a scan. As far as I know, the only way to add a bundled asset is to manually upload a folder. I might be wrong about this though.
Hope this helps even a little.

How do I delete / remove Album info & artwork?

Hello, Good people of Appleville!
I have an issue. I'm very picky about my music. Always have been. I've been very careful to limit the information and data on each song to Title, Artist, & Genre. However, having recently bought a Iphone 5s, it automatically updated via the cloud, so when my music is playing, it shows me those album pictures. I don't want them there. They aren't objectionable, it's just not orderly, and it bothers me. I've managed to remove them from everything on the Itunes library, but the Iphone library still has a few holdouts. Anyone have any idea how to edit the files as they are on the Phone to get rid of the Album info and artwork?
Clint

Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. If you are updating your iPod automatically the artwork will be removed the next time you connect, If you are updating manually, carry out the procedure above with the iPod connected and choose the song from the iPod list rather than the iTunes library.

Roxio Media Manager - Edit with Quick Sound Editor

A gentleman at work purchased a pearl 8130 last week after he lost his other phone. After loading BlackBerry Desktop Manager, CD that came with the phone, then going to Media Manager. He noticed that Quick Sound Editor was grayed out if he right click on a music file. When purchased mine it came with QSE. Why doesn't he have it? Could it be the provider he has? I have Alltel and I think he has Verizon.

Read some threads. Managed a cumbersome workaround by using Roxio to take songs from CD and transfer to MP3 format. Then using Explorer to drop into media card. Spent hours trying to figure out. Since I'm not very tech savvy, REALLY appreciate your help. Because I can't get any files from my PC to work. How I can convert WMA. WPL XLS DOC files so my BB can read them?
