A poll was created to find whether 'Send to > Audio CD (burn)' would be desirable: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=99024 |
|

The number of users responding was kind of small, but the feedback was consistent with our intuition that AudioCD burning is more important to users than Data CD burning, but that it is only going to be used by a smallish subset of users. |

I added "Burn CD/DVD using MM4" addon that sents selected files form MM5 to MM4 > Now Playing to be easily burned. The addon can be downloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ba23vz2ki08kf3o/burn2MM4.mmip?dl=0 and I also added it to the /sampleScripts/ folder. Note that the strings are not translated, I think it is OK to be just in English, right? the used link for "Get MediaMonkey 4" goes to https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-general/download-mediamonkey/ Assigned to Rusty to review the addon and publish it as burning workaround. |

Improved Burn2MM4 addon (performance + added hotkey), the addon to test is still here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ba23vz2ki08kf3o/burn2MM4.mmip?dl=0 We might want to add some further instruction (like to not install MM4 on top of MM5) to the configuration dialog that is shown upon the addon installing. Also, when the MM4 path is no longer found after performing the "Burn CD/DVD using MM4..." action then this dialog is shown: image-3.png (22,332 bytes) |

Also added to "Send to" menu: image-4.png (24,700 bytes) |

I agree that this should be an external addon (posted to the addons site), and that it doesn't need to be translated. At the same time, I don't think that this fully addresses the requirement raised by most users (i.e. most users won't have MM4 installed), though it's a decent workaround. Questions: a) Is it correct to mention 'DVD's in this addon? I thought it was only for burning audio CDs? b) When I use the functionality, MM4 opens in the NP view with the selected tracks playing. Is that what's intended? I would have expected that MM4 would open with the burn dialog displaying the tracks (and the tracks not playing). Suggested changes: 1) The link for MM4 should be to: http://www.mediamonkey.com/MediaMonkey-4_Setup.exe 2) The default path to MediaMonkey 4 should be changed: C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey.exe --> C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.exe 2) String updates: Burn CD/DVD using MM4... --> CD/DVD (burn using MM4)... Sends selected tracks to MM4 in order to burn them --> Sends selected tracks to MediaMonkey 4 in order to burn them The path to MM4 executable file does not exists: --> MediaMonkey 4 cannot be found at: 3) Re. the following functionality, wouldn't it just make sense to change it as follows: Please install MediaMonkey 4 (click Help to get to the download location) or click OK to browse for the correct path of the MediaMonkey.exe file. [Help] [OK] --> Please configure the addon by installing MediaMonkey 4 (if needed) and configuring the path of the version 4 MediaMonkey.exe file. [Configure] [OK] |

Re Questions: a) yes, mention 'DVD' is correct as MM4 can burn DVD b) opening MM4 with burn dialog displaying the tracks would need to re-release of MM4 as it would require changes in MM4 too Suggested changes are implemented and the addon updated in /svn/sampleScripts/burn2MM4 I also uploaded it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/juox7d01c9hiis5/burn2MM4.mmip?dl=0 Assigned to Jordan for adding this addon to our addons repository. |

Updated addon to 1.0.2 to fix issues with the default MM4 path. Up on the site: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/burn-using-mediamonkey-4/ |
|
|
Note: Requires MM 5.0.2 or greater. Using Send to -> Burn using MM4 on 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 opens a dialog asking you to save "burn2MM4.m3u" as a file instead of opening MM4. Updated addon metadata on the site to reflect that compatibility requirement. |
|
|
Addon works in 2618. However the amount of users requesting burning from within MediaMonkey 5 warrants further evaluation for 5.1 |

Closing, and tracking integrated CD burning at 0019038. |
