Being a new MDMS user, I'm currently importing all of my collection and so far none have had data in the Mood field.

Are you sure about this?

I'm referring to what I was told by a friend at Rovi. I complained that a certain CD of mine was not listed on the web page, he countered that it was indeed in their database, and then gave the explanation I referred to.

However, by 'our database' I guess he could have meant an internal one rather than the licensee-facing one.

The discrepancy may well have been fixed around the time of the new website, when there were internal changes. He mentioned for example the problem of Classical albums which have Pop codes not being correctable until the new website and attendant database changes.

Ah okay. When Rovi acquired(?) AMG, it had to tie AMG (e.g.) album IDs to Rovi IDs. AMG treated classical and non-classical albums differently and, if you do a query on a Rovi album, you get (typically) three IDs, the Rovi album ID, the AMG ID and the AMG classical ID, and one of the latter two will be null.

Same here. I started using MDMS roughly 1-MAR-2013 and have imported about 300 albums so far. No mood data was populated automatically.

I have noticed mood data has not been imported recently. This was not always the case but seems a recent thing. I have been adding it manually for now and hope its just a software bug somewhere.

I'm not even able to enter anything under the Mood section when editing the metadata.

Ge03,

What issue do you get when you can't enter mood info, what are you using to edit? I have never had that issue on Control:Mac or Control:PC.

Russ

Tried Control:Mac, Control:PC & iPad/Web Client
No check boxes appear.
Running an MC200 with system version 397

Ge03,

Just to confirm, you have tried removing Control:Mac and then re-installing by browsing to the MC200's IP address, then downloading Control:Mac from there? What Mac OSX version are you running.

Russ

Running current OSX 10.8.2 on Macs, and Win 7 on the PC laptop.

Rick installed the Control:PC for me when setting up the MC200, I just tried your suggestion of re-installing Control:Mac just to make sure and this is the screen that I get.

Hi Geoff

I will try on my Mac when I get home around 6pm, never had this problem though, I have an MD600 running core not an MC200, but still worth trying.

Cheers

Russ
