Are you all saying that I should stop posing questions, by not answering to them? Or is it impossible to answer? Is it a professional player your program or just a toy for limited use? Even a negative answer from your part will help me to get away and search elsewhere my solution. The basic question is about the safety (from the point of vue of losing data) of the program. The other capital question is why can't I install your NEW uplayer? Should I buy something else (a newer version of the converter, for instance, which I don't really need) or what? Please, don't ignore me....

Re: No answer?
The reason that you do not receive an answer to your questions could be that those of us who have seen your posting do not know the answer.
Currently I have only 10,000 tracks in MMC and all the files are held on internal hard drives. I have never experienced the problem of losing information in MMC. Other than suggesting that you experiment to see at what number the information starts being lost I have no idea how to help you.
What error messages do you get when you try to install uplayer? Are you installing it into the same location as dAP? WinXP SP3 shouldn't be a problem. -

What message do you get when installing the uPlayer?Comment

Re: No answer?
dAP has not been developed for close to 5 years, we cannot as a company offer support on it. It is just there for now. uPlayer almost certainly will not suit your curent requirements, it will be developed over the next year into a new version of dAP which we will be able to support.Comment

Re: No answer?
I do not receive any error messages, there is no sign that I am doing something. I am installing it in a different folder (call it dBpoweramp2) but it makes another dBpoweramp with the uplayer's files in it and nothing in function. The old player continues to exist and play, nothing new appears. I have downloaded sp3 lately (it actually somehow did it itself). You think that maybe all this fuzz I have about losing data could be a side-effect?
So what you're saying is that I have too many mp3s, stored in an external disc (2TB) with sp3 on (maybe nod32 is an obstacle too?), so I should try the solution elsewhere (can you suggest something?) or should I put my collection in my computer in internal discs (are there greater than 750Gbs?)Comment

Re: No answer?
I do not demand any supposed rights of a buyer (the player was free anyway), I am just begging for a solution to my problem. Should I turn to a commercial player? I do not intend to download any pieces, and I really like your player. It suits me perfectly, if only I feel secure for my data.Comment

Re: No answer?
70,000 tracks should make no difference to DAP - its database is a fixed record length system, very reliable (ie one record becomes corrupted and the other are fine), have you tried running disk checks for errors?Comment

Re: No answer?
As a matter of fact no. Maybe I should do it next time, because for now, I have (God!) so much work to do, to reestablish somehow the data of my songs. If you just mean to run chkdsk, I do it and it shows no destroyed arias.
I have already told you that I don't loose any of the songs at all. I just have a (partial only luckily) upsidedown of the id tag. Some are showing length instead of 2.24 eg 34567, instead of kbps 256 or 192, 1 or 18, instead of khz 48000 or 44100, 3789 or 63, the year and the album sign absent, though sometimes existing, if you turn to the 'details' of the id tag... Just trying to give a picture of the mess that became a library, made with so much hard work by me, who, in this particular field behave like a perfectionist. And it is maybe the third time I face this bad situation.
Three or four times I had the same problem, but as soon as I turned off and on again the HD I had the problem fixed. That is why I cry for help. And I don't know any other site to try and get my answers from.
Maybe I should add that the pc I am using is a Sony/Vaio laptop, which has its own library program, called sonicstage, but which I have tried and refuse to use, since it is very very slow, both in making and in using the library for random playing music.
Sorry if I sometimes become rude, it's just that I am desperate...you know, building castles in the sand and seeing them destroyed....Comment

What version are the id tags btw?Comment

Re: No answer?
When you turn on the computer, does it perform a full memory test (where it counts up from 0 to maximum memory)? If not, perhaps your machine has unreliable RAM installed?
I'd run both the drive and the RAM through diagnostics programs.

Re: No answer?
It is a Sony/Vaio laptop and it does not have a black screen in the beginning, so that I can see what it does with the RAM. How can I observe the thing you are talking about? It just rises and shines through the 'welcome' XP screen. Truth is I have added memory 2 months ago, but I have done it according to the book, and no other difficulties came up. All the other times I had the same losses were before that change, when the laptop had its own little (0,5) memory. So, I do not think it is a matter of the laptop. Could be though a matter of the whole scheme (ext discs, laptop, USBs, great number of songs, continuous flow-in and out of the mmc) and that's what I am asking. Could anyone of you suggest any other player with greater credability for my conditions?Comment

Re: No answer?
You'll need to look up how to get the BIOS configuration screen for the sony laptop. There may be a configuration for "extended memory test" in the startup settings.
As for the rest, I am not an expert.

Re: No answer?
Look in your BIOS for something about disabling a logo or enabling diagnostic boot screens. Or just tap Esc when booting, should show the details as you bootComment
