Troubleshooting & known problems

Troubleshooting

• If you will get "Invalid resource file" error on startup, MP3 Manager probably tries to load false language resource DLL (VFP6RxxU.DLL) . Please check if there are no other files named as VFP6RxxU.DLL than "VFP6RENU.DLL" in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
  Such file(s) named like "VFP6RDEU.DLL" may be required by some other programs written in non-english (in case of "VFP6RDEU.DLL" german) Foxpro. If you have such program, it may be better to move each language DLL directly to folder where are the programs installed. If you think that such DLL is just remainder of some old installation, you can rename it and delete few days later.
• Lyrics download doesn't work perhaps? Problems may happen when lyrics site changes their site design. Please understand that I am not author of this feature, MP3 Manager uses original lyrics download interface made by Alon Gingold <gingold@hiker.org.il>.
  Possible solutions: Look here for updated "l3einetplug.dll" file. If there is any newer, download it and put into MP3 Manager's folder. You can also install newest Lyrics3 Editor which also uses "l3einetplug.dll". Then copy latest "l3einetplug.dll" file from Winamp\Plugins folder into MP3 Manager's folder.
• Winamp3 can't be controlled? For some unknown reason Winamp3 uses completely different programmming interface than Winamp2. Unfortunately I didn't find any way how to get into it directly, the only way is to use free component called "Winamp 2.x Plugin Manager for Winamp 3". Main commands will work, but that's all for now. Other things have to be enabled by author of this component. Get the component at http://members.telocity.com/~schweitn/wa3/wa2mgr/main.html. Anyway... for the time being I recommend to use old good Winamp2.

Known problems

• It is not possible to run Winamp hidden, if it is running minimized in system tray.
• Create list wizard: MS Excel file (XLS) output format is limited to 16384 lines. If you need to load longer list into Excel, use CSV format which is associated with MS Excel as well.
• Scanning AVI/DivX files into database is kinda slow, I don't know why. There are standard Windows MCI commands used. If anybody has better way how to recognize bitrate from AVI/ASF files, please let me know.
