are you using a language version of MB and if so, which language?
if not, can you update to the latest version from the first forum topic
hi mate,
I'm using the standard English version downloaded directly from here:
https://getmusicbee.com/downloads/EDIT:
the same error is occurring in version 3.1.6585
I left out some important information in the OP:
this error occurs when trying to re-locate files in directory #1, but not directory #2. for example:
Z:\LABELS\P\Pinkman\YYYY - Artist1 - Album1
Z:\LABELS\P\Pinkman\YYYY - Artist2 - Album2
I change the filenames in both directories, then re-scan the files in MusicBee
error for all files contained in directory #1
no error for all the files contained in for directory #2
I tested this with identical filenames and identical tags (artist, album, track title and track number; all other tags deleted using the extended tag viewer in mp3tag)
the directory character length is also identical (well under 255)
directories #1 and #2 live on the same hard disk
the music files are identical, except for the filenames and tags. I checked them in AudioTester and they passed with no error
testing more...
- set the filenames in directory #2 (the "bad" directory) to the original expected filenames
- rescan, no problem
- change the filenames in directory #2 to something unexpected
- rescan
- double click to trigger re-location window - error
- change the filenames back to the original expected filenames
- rescan, no problem. play the file in MB, no problem
testing...
- change the filename in directory #2 to something unexpected
- start a full MB re-scan for new files
- confirm the removal of the old files from the library
- play the file, no problem
- change the filename again
- rescan
- double click to trigger re-location window - ERROR
testing...
- move the files to a different folder altogether (directory #3)
- start a full MB re-scan for new files
- confirm the removal of the old files from the library
- play the file, no problem
- change the filename again inside the new directory (directory #3)
- rescan
- double click to trigger re-location window - ERROR
testing...
- create a new directory (directory #4)
- copy/paste (not move!) the files from directory #3 to directory #4
- change the filename again inside directory #4
- rescan
- double click to trigger re-location window - NO ERROR. all good!
final test...
- copy/paste the files from directory #4 to directory #2 (or #3)
- delete the files from directory #4
- start a full MB re-scan for new files
- confirm the removal of the old files from the library
- play the file, no problem
- change the filename again inside directory #2 (or #3)
- rescan
- double click to trigger re-location window - ERROR!
I can't figure this one out at all
