| Summary | 0005710: MP3 files get classified as Podcasts | ||||
| Description | I have six tracks recently added to my library that have somehow been classified as Podcasts. i.e. the Album Name appears sub to a greyed out podcasts node with the tracks contained within. Note that the tracks have genre=audiobook;children , and nothing (that I can see) that would cause them to be in the Podcast node. Also, when I remove the tracks from the library and rescan them, they don't get added as podcasts. | ||||

Not sure how could this happen, any idea Ludek? |

There was a similar issue 0005324 which I fixed three months ago, there was bug in a SQL trigger (SVN revision 7294) |

Rusty, do you still have such a tracks in your library? If yes, could you send me your DB to analyze? Thx. |

Ludek, I've uploaded mm.db to the ftp server, but I don't think you'll need it. The files that triggered the problem were from the following site: http://storynory.com/ What I did is I downloaded them, edited them (e.g. changed the genres to Audiobook, album names, titles, etc) since most were lacking metadata, and then synced them to an iPod. I just re-examined them and it seems that the tracks in question originally had genre=Podcast. When I renamed them to Audiobook, it seems that MM still considered the tracks to be podcasts even though they never were. I would have expected that if a user changes the Genre from Podcast to something else, that MM would automatically remove it from the Podcast subscriptions node. A similar case could occur if a user downloaded music from a Podcast subscription and then wanted to incorporate it into his/her library. Thoughts? Note: any change we make here can probably be deferred beyond 3.1. |

I don't think it is a good idea. Imagine this situation: I subscribed the http://feeds.feedburner.com/storynory I edited genre from 'Podcast' to 'Stories' or I edited genre from 'Podcast' to 'Podcast stories' then I wouldn't expect the episode to be removed from the Podcast Subscriptions. Nevertheless the way to remove it should be to unsubscribe and/or rescan the tracks with changed genre, but this is not very intuitive way I agree. So maybe we could add a new editable field that would indicate to which podcast the track belongs? |

This has been completely re-designed in MM 4.0, and in addition: 1. Also other types have been added, see: http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/ISDBSongData::TrackType 2. It is no longer hardcoded, but can be changed in Track Properties. Fixed in build 1308. |
