Where's my music going????????????
I've installed ejukebox and after reviewing my mp3's it's decided to "make serious changes" to a few of them, like
hundreds!!
Where are they going and why is it deleting my music?
One thing I've noticed is that eDj is editing ALL my mp3's, presumably and hopefully, the id3 tags. Norton protected storage caches the
original files and fills the drive and then maybe eDj bums out once the drive is full.
I'ds like to know my mp3s are safe before i invest in this software!

Hm, i haven't heard about Norton Protected Storage? What does it do? I am familiar with the protected recycle bin, and use Norton Antivirus
myself, but in any case, this scenario is new for me.

I'm not pointing the finger at Norton for this, merely suggesting that the corruption happened when the drive filled up.
Either way, i'm a bit pi**ed off with it.
Also Audiosoft, should eDJ be modifying ANY of my files when it first scan the drive, as ALL my mp3 show modification times of the first scan?
Anyway, off to locate the 18 albums EJ has destroyed. thanks eDJ!!

A full HD has caused me similar grieves, not with eJ, but a lot of other programs. It is a common scenario, a file is edited, and there is no space to
save the new version. A lot of programs haven't really taken this situation into consideration, and shitty things occur. I agree that this sort
of thing should not happen anyway, and i am sorry for your loss of albums. Glad no more than 18 were lost though. Yet 18 is quite a lot, i would turn
into a raging madman if something happened to my entire collection.
I am just guessing here, but from what i know of eJ, i would reckon that the 18 albums that were affected were missing id3 tags in one way or another.
Whenever missing id3 tag information has to be added to an mp3, a new file has to be created, as the id3tag information must be in the beginning of
the file. This might not be of any comfort, but should at least explain why eJ edited those files.

Basher; Make sure you don't write anything to that disk (I hope it's not too late) and get hold of an undelete utility. Sorry that I
can't give you a direct link, but I am sure you'll find something at www.download.com.
I hope you'll be able to get at least a handful of your albums that way. It really sucks when such things are happening..
