weirdness in Virtual Jukebox

[scottie4442]

I have everything setup finally with VJ and it works great, except I get two copies of all my albums when they show on the screen.  

----------------------------------
[    1            [             3        [
----------------------------------
[    2            [             4        [
----------------------------------

This is what the screen looks like, where the albums are displayed.  The problem is 1 and 2 show the same album, 1 shows the pictures and all the tracks and 2 shows the title and all the tracks again.  3 and 4 do the same thing.  Do I have something set wrong in the preferences or is this a bug in the software.  Please help.  Thanks for the great work on this software it works wonderful.

The only time that I saw that sort of thing was when I was originaly setting it up and had only a few albums in the list.  Go to your music library and look at the listing to see if the album is listed more then once.  You could go to the delete list and kill off any duplicates if this is the case.

I have about 190 albums in now and it works great.  Using W98.

Hey Scottie, what OS are you using? I am having a similar problem with VJB on Windows2000.

I am using Windows XP Professional with SP1 installed.  Everything works correctly just duplicates all the albums on the screen.  I have over 4600 songs and something like 300 albums so the small album list is not the thing.

For those who have been experiencing the problem described in this thread...please do as BobA suggested and go to your music library and verify that the albums are listed only once...there is a very easy way to accidentally duplicate albums...when adding albums, when you hit the Next or OK button...the albums are added to the library, but the list is not cleared...so if the Next or OK button is hit again (a second) time...the same albums will be added to the library again.

Please let me know if this may be the case.

I have checked the double album thing and that is not the case.  After I broke my MP3 collection up into albums and started VJ, I went through and told it where to read the directory and let it do so. After this finished I noticed that it showed two copies of every album.  As I said before not a big deal just an asthetic thing and kind of a hiccup in an otherwise GREAT piece of software.

I would still like to correct the problem if it lies in the software.  Could you do me a favor and email me the library file.  It will be in a subdirectory called \Libraries and the filename will have a .lib extension.

Please send it to info@cybertechdesign.net
Thanks.

sure, I will try to get it to you this afternoon or tomorrow. All you need is the .lib file?

Oh, a question about something else with VJ, didn't you say that you were working on making VJ be able to rip songs from CD's? I think that is the only other feature that I am looking for.

Well let me get the stuff you need.
