ejukebox won't load after upgrade
kazchristo - 12-29-2006 at 12:08 PM

Just upgraded to the lates 4.2, also upgraded winamp to 532. Now eJukebox tries to load, get to about 2/3 of the way and hangs. I have rebooted a number of times but still no luck please someone help me with this problem as I cannot use the player at all now.

Try manually starting winamp first and playing a song in winamp...then start up eJukebox. If that does the trick the next time you should be able to just start eJukebox and winamp will load automatically.

That has just worked for me as well, could you please tell me how and why this happens, and why the above fix seems to reset everything properly ?

For me(at least), it seems to do with opening music files from other areas and not being able to go back to where it was before ???

I have the same problem, but mine will not repair with running Winamp and a song first. I have always ran ejukebox 4.2 pro. But Winamp was just upgraded to 5.32. Now eJukebox tries to load, gets to about 2/3 of the way and hangs. I have tried rebooting, unloading other tsr programs and still no help. :(

Hmm..I am running winamp v5.32 and eJukebox with no problems. So the problem didn't occur for you until after the winamp upgrade? Are you sure it does not work when you shutdown eJukebox...start playing a mp3 in winamp and leave it open...and then start eJukebox? Make sure you only have one instance of winamp.exe running in taskmanager.

Yes I started Winamp first and playing a song then started eJukebox. There is only 1 winamp instance in taskmanager. eJukebox cpu usage is at 98-99% and frozen...

What skin were you using? Maybe try a full install to C:Program FileseJukebox2 and see how it goes.


mkc2000 - 2-15-2007 at 02:12 AM

Installing to c:program FileseJukebox2 worked but know I lost all my song database, art and info. If I run the original from c:program FileseJukeboxejukebox.exe it freezes up still but from c:program FileseJukebox2ejukebox.exe works. How can I get all my database info back? (I have alot of songs and compilation settings that would take me a long time to redo from scratch...)
Thanks

To transfer the music database copy C:program fileseJukeboxejuke.asn and db.m3u to C:program fileseJukebox2 replacing the existing files.


mkc2000 - 2-15-2007 at 05:33 AM

I transfered the database and the playlist and it caused the new installation C:program fileseJukebox2 to lockup. So I loaded the playlist in Winamp and found that the songs were all pointing to the incorrect drive letter. All my music is on a USB drive that was H: and got renamed to M: when the USB drive was unplugged and plugged back in! Thanks again for the help and hopefully this will help others with the same problem ;)
BTW is there a way to view the ejuke.asn file for editing?

It's a Access database..


mkc2000 - 2-16-2007 at 03:35 AM

The database file is password protected. Are we able to have access to the password??


Audiosoft - 2-16-2007 at 03:46 AM

I do not recommend modifying the database in ms access. All you could modify is the file path, artist, song title, genre and year. The album, images, and compilation flags are linked in a way that makes it impossible to change. Use the eJukebox editor to make permanent changes for mp3 files.
