Genres and Feature Request

Salamon,

Has the issue with windows millenium and music folders not wanting to be urecognized and not setting up genres been resolved? This is in the setup screen where to you tell SK where your music is stored and it won't let you add folder locations and you have to go into the setup file and tell it where they are. The problem there is it still doesn't add the folders into genres. Seems like a VB file missing that allows this to work with older windows versions.

I have a feature request: Can you add Normalizing this way with older recordings being lower volume from cd's being so much softer than new recorded music. Ther could be the option to set the normalizing percentage.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

I am yet to be able to replicate this issue on 98/Me, nor am I able to find a replacement piece of code to do the job (although I admit, last I looked at it I only had about 30 mins to spend on it).  I'm sure I'll find it or be able to work around it, the issue is just the time to look at it which is very scarce these days.  Not sure what you're saying about the genres, though, can you elaborate please?

As for normalizing, it's not something I can do currently (and don't think I'd ever be able to add), but the way I do it is to run 'MP3Gain' over my collection.

http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

I do an Album Gain of 89 dB (which is the default, IIRC), and that works just fine.  The great thing about this method is that it does not change the actual audio data in the file.

Cheers,

SK.

Salmon,
If i go into the setup file and put the location of each folder of genre it still wants to put everything in one screen view. When i try to select genres it acts like i only have one and if i remember correctly it doesn't even bring up the genre screen. Maybe i am doing something wrong as far what i need to put in the setup file to create the genres.
Thanks,
Kevin

If you have this, for example :

C:\Music\Rock
C:\Music\Pop
C:\Music\Metal

You would just need to enter 'C:\Music' as the path.  You then tick the box that says 'First Part Of Directory Is Genre'.  At that point, I would get out of the program then back in again, and you should be set.....unless you use a Static Database, where you would need to update the database after you've restarted the program.   :)

OK! I will give that a try. I'm sure i was doing something wrong!

Thanks,
Kevin
