Вопросы / Questions / Re: Playlist Star Ratings Have Disappeared

Is there anyone who can provide some clarification to my previous post?  Are my star ratings simply gone forever?

So if I understand you correctly, since my last update was on 5/25/21 to v. 4.70, build 2251, and the backup copy of my playlists found in my PLS folder using the path you mentioned (\Program Files\AIMP\!Backups\) shows 5/25/21 as the latest date for all of my playlist files, that means that I can't recover any changes to my playlists (including star ratings) made after 5/25/21 -- is that correct? 

Or are you saying that my star ratings are simply gone for good, even the star ratings from before 5/25/21?

I don't know if it matters, but I have a manual backup of my playlists that I made a week or two ago by exporting them to my external hard drive separately.  Is there a way I could use that to get the star ratings back -- maybe by copying and pasting it to the backup folder?

Thanks for your reply.
1.  The "delete non-existing files from database" box is checked.
2.  The "synchronize user defined rating with file tags" is not checked.
3.  I don't know where to find the backup of my settings.  Is that this path:  MyName/AppData/Roaming/?  Please see attachments.

Вопросы / Questions / Playlist Star Ratings Have Disappeared

« : Ноября 21, 2021, 21:34:44 »

Hi -- My star ratings that I had given to most of the songs on my numerous playlists have gone away.  I don't know why this happened.  The only thing I can think of is I recently disconnected my external hard drive (where I keep my music library) from my laptop computer.  When I plugged it back in my entire music library was gone and eventually reloaded itself (thousands of tunes).  I think the playlists were gone too, but I don't remember for sure.  The playlists are now back in place just like the library, but the star ratings are gone.  Do you have any suggestions for getting them back?  I'm running Windows 10 Home edition on a Lenovo laptop with 16 GB RAM.

Вопросы / Questions / Intermittent Distortion and Dropouts

« : Февраля 24, 2021, 07:18:55 »

Thanks for creating such a great sounding music player that I've enjoyed for many years.  Lately I’ve been having issues with intermittent distortion and dropouts that weren’t happening when I used AIMP with my old discarded desktop computer with Windows 7.  Ever since I added AIMP to my new Lenovo laptop (Windows 10) and also added it to a custom-built desktop computer (Windows 8.1), I get distortion every few minutes on the Windows 10 laptop and audio dropouts on the Windows 8.1 desktop. 

One thing I noticed with the Windows 8.1 desktop is when the audio drops out for (usually) 2-3 seconds and then comes back in, the music picks up where it left off.  So, I don’t really miss any music – the music simply gets delayed for 2-3 seconds in the middle of a song the same way that it would if I were to turn off a running tape machine for 2-3 seconds and then turn it back on.  On the other computer (laptop with Windows 10) I get occasional distortion for 2-3 seconds while the song plays, but the music doesn’t drop out like it does on the other computer.

It seems like perhaps something is running in the background on both computers that I haven’t been able to detect, but I’m not sure.  Again, I didn’t have these problems with my old desktop that was running Windows 7.  But I don’t know if the OS has anything to do with any of this. 

Maybe examining the Task Managers would give me a clue, but I’m not technically savvy enough to know exactly what to analyze there.  Can you or anyone else offer any suggestions about what to look for?  These problems are spoiling my enjoyment of this wonderful music player.

I’ve checked my connections and replaced cables but the problem persists.  I tried turning off updates.  I removed my DAC from the signal chain.  I’ve tried different speaker types.  I avoided using the internet while listening to the player.  None of these efforts solved the problem.  I’m using the latest version of AIMP on both computers.

Thanks!  Looks like mine was already set at 0.

Thanks very much for your reply.  Hard drive sleep settings appeared normal.  I uninstalled the old version (4.51) and installed the newer 4.60 as you suggested, enabling Pre-load next track, and that helps, but it still isn't a totally seamless transition between tracks that segue one into another.  Would you explain please how to adjust the cache to 0 since I've never done that?

The laptop itself is a good one (Lenovo Flex 15 series), so I don't think it is the problem.  I am running Windows 10 on it, but was using Windows 7 on my PC.

Just to add a little more info, my laptop (like the PC before it) is using an external hard drive to play music through AIMP.  When I recovered my playlists from my PC, I moved them to the external hard drive instead of the C: drive.  Could this be the root of the problem?

Вопросы / Questions / Pauses Between Playlist Songs

« : Августа 23, 2019, 11:06:49 »

My PC crashed, leading me to buy a new laptop on which I installed AIMP.  Before on my PC, I could play songs from playlists without any pause between them.  Now, on my laptop there is a pause of 3-10 seconds between songs.  This happens irrespective of the DSP Manager Mixing Option settings.  Any suggestions?

Thanks Artem.  Any suggestions on accessing some of the features I liked in the Windows version such as the ability to stop play after the current song or see what the next song is by hovering my mouse over the 'stop' button or the 'next song' button respectively?

My last reply got garbled in translation which changed the meaning of what I said and erased half of what I wrote.  Very strange.

Okay, so I know it seemed like a silly question, but some of us don't know a lot about these things and are just trying to learn.  Actually, from what I understand, you can use MS Word documents with a Chromebook using the Google app.  I guess I was thinking there might be a similar way to get around things.  Anyway, thanks for the reply.  Any suggestions on accessing some of the features I liked in the Windows version such as the ability to stop play after the current song or see what the next song is by hovering my mouse over the 'stop' button or the 'next song' button respectively?

I've been using the Windows version of AIMP on my Windows computer for a while now.  But I just got a Chromebook 3 and want to use AIMP on it.  I downloaded the Android version, assuming that was the only version I could use with Chromebook.  But I don't like it as much as the Windows version.  Can I use the Windows version on my Chromebook if I have enough room on it?
