Write to Disk option for ML Database

[bemymonkey]

G'day... I've got a question. Is there any way to get Winamp to write the ML database to disk more often?

I've been using the latest Beta releases lately, and every now and then I'll get a crash... which is very frustrating, since then all the ratings I've gone through on that day will be lost.

Is there a way to configure a hotkey to get Winamp to write the ML database to disk right away? Or to get it write to disk periodically?

Right now it seems like it either writes to disk in huge periodically with huge intervals, or it just writes to disk during shutdown... Shutting down the PC without ending Winamp first also results in my new rating information and new database entries being lost...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

no not at the moment.

maybe when benski has time to work on the ML.... not in 2.25 but maybe the next release.

Pity... guess I'll have to keep closing and reopening Winamp every time I rate a bunch of songs, lol. Can't wait for 2.26, in that case


Thanks for the info Rocker
