Questions about MusicFab

[supine]

Yup... The thread is dead dead. Thanks to everyone who participated.

I'll see about starting a new thread on this topic.

BTW: I can actually play the songs in an album I like through the MusicFab interface, but cannot download the same song.

I believe this thread may be dead, but I have another question so I'll try here.
To answer my own post above for info purposes; It seems Spotify or MusicFab and I are not operating in the same time zone. The downloads reset, just much later in the day. I don't know what time zone they are in, but that seems to be the answer to my issue in the previous post.

Another issue seems to have popped up, and I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I downloaded a few albums yesterday evening (3-9-25) around 10 PM (EST). I tried to download another album this morning, and was unable to do so. The Error says, "Please open a song, playlist or album", when it's already open. Nothing I can do will get the download button to illuminate, even after opening a song, Playlist or album for download. I can't even get a selection list to come up. I have multiple copies of MusicFab running in the house and get the same error across all copies. Shutting down all of the other computers with copies running does not fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

Update on my last post. - I was unable to download anything for the rest of that day, but the next day everything is normal, and my allotment has been restored. Glitch? If so, I believe it might be an occasional but repetitive one.

I know this thread has been idle for a while, however I have a question.
A while back, I had an issue with the 322 error code. I was rather embarrassed when someone pointed out that I had zero downloads left, and that was the reason for the 322 error code. I had thought that I had waited long enough to reset the number of downloads, and so never looked at that number.

Yesterday evening, I used up my quota for the day, around 11:15pm. Since I still had files in the que, I took a shower, got ready for bed and basically waisted time for 45 minutes. At 12:01AM, I refreshed the screen and looked again. The screen still showed zero downloads left. I closed the program, rebooted the computer, and kept refreshing the screen until 12:30 AM, and still had zero downloads left. Exhausted, I left the program up, and went to bed. I didn't check the screen again until a little after 10:00AM. to cut to the chase, it's 1:30PM. I have rebooted the computer, and refreshed the screen several times today, and still have zero downloads.

Is this a known issue, and if it is; is there a work around?

For those who noticed MusicFab erroring out on downloads (Spotify), I have turned in a ticket on this issue, and the reply was that it is a known issue and they are working on it. --Info--

Did you not read my top post? I describe the same issue as you just did. And yes, I have had similar sign-in issues, however, I could always log in using Chrome by closing the browser entirely (after signing out and signing back in again). Not now though. I cannot sign in, and cannot browse.

Hello again. @StPeterOrding2015, thank you for your reply back in April. It's nice to hear from you. Greetings again! Sadly, I didn't get the E-mail when you posted your reply. I hope you are doing well.

Now... to the point.
I am having trouble with the Youtube portion of MusicFab. The instructions in MusicFab, say to log in with Chrome or Edge from a browser, then close the browser leaving it active in "Task Manager".
1. In stead of close, I believe they should have said Minimize. When you close the browser, it disappears from Task Manager, and MusicFab will not log in.
2. Although the instructions say I can use either Chrome or Edge, I have only had success logging in using the Edge browser. Chrome did not work at all to log into MusicFab.
3. Once I do get logged into Youtube in MusicFab (Which is a small struggle.), The search Window remains blank after any search, and I am unable to select any content. Search and play works fine in any browser, but does not work in Musicfab. The Youtube Downloader will not work for me at all.

Is anyone else having this issue?
Does anyone have a Fix, or Work-Around?

Hi supine,
i use the 1.0.2.8 and this version works fine - but slow - for me with no problems (except that every now and then the “You have reached the tab limit.
There are too many tabs open. Close this tab and continue listening to music." appears - and then nothing works again -).

BUT, the 1.0..6. was the fastest version ever.

greetings

I haven't been on this thread since MusicFab was stabilized. Just a note: I haven't used MusicFab in a while. Life events kept me busy, and I just wasn't able to "Play" with it for a while. I did however, keep up with the updates. When I recently tried to use it, all of my tracks were dumped into a folder called "Other" regardless of album or artist, and in spite of my output selections in settings.

A total uninstall and re-install; and ensuring that the Log and temp folders were deleted, solved this issue. Hopefully nobody else has run across this, but I figured that I would post my fix for this snag I ran into, and (again, hopefully) save someone a hassle.

Well, MusicFab has crashed three times in an hour. (Log attached)

Album art still isn't showing up in Windows until I put it back. It's in the downloaded tag (Metadata), it just does not show up in Windows. Once I resend the album artwork back into the tag, I have no problem.

Adding to the que past a certain point in an artists Discography for a very prolific artist, still bounces me to the top of the album/discography list, forcing me to scroll all the way back down to where I was. By the time that starts happening, it's a very long way down to where I was. (Examples: Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rodgers) I found this after I zipped the log. I can send another if you wish, but a little practical experimentation should confirm this. I don't know if something like that would show up in the log anyway.

On the upside, I have no problem adding to the que. So far, the issue with the selection window not coming up has not shown up. Despite the crashes, the downloads are fast and reliable. A simple restart has brought me rapidly back in service. This instance of MusicFab has been up for over thirty minutes with no issues besides the aforementioned.

We will continue to work on the issues, so stay tuned for a new version!

Suc-Cess! 1.0.2.7 has picked up from the existing que and seems to be working (with Spotify) like a champ. More as I put the software through a little more testing. StPeterOrding2015: please let me know what you find on your end.

BTW: If the "Protected content" screen doesn't show. or I restart several times until it goes away, I can add whatever I want to the download que, but it will not download. It still says analyzing until it fails.

Yes, the "Protected content" screen and download issues are due to this drm upgrade; the dev team is still working on it and will have a new version available soon!
