You can find the answers on the following questions here:
* How must I name folder for VMB? * Can it be inside other folders? * Must all MIDI files be in one folder called MIDI? * Where play lists must be placed? * Why VMB has two play lists? * My play list is empty. Why? * How to edit play list in text editor? * Why VMB can't see my MIDI file? * Why VMB began to start so long? * Where can I get more "Ventures" MIDIs?
You can name it, as you want. In my descriptions I use VMB name.
Yes, my program correctly use existing path to its folder.
Yes, the program is written in such suppose. Please don't use
any subfolders in MIDI folder!
They must be in MIDI folder together with MIDI files.
VMB really has two play lists. One is stored in fulllist.txt file and contains information about all files in MIDI folder. The second - mylist.txt is a play list of your choice - maybe you don't want to listen all MIDIs today. File mylist.txt have priority over fulllist.txt file.
VMB can't find any play list. Please check that mylist.txt
or fulllist.txt (or both together) exist in MIDI directory.
To create fulllist.txt for the first time you may use
my template or form it yourself
in text editor. Don't be afraid to try,
it's too easy!
Please read a special help page about it.
Maybe it is not in MIDI folder, as VMB suppose. Please note that being a simple program VMB can't also support subfolders inside MIDI folder.
It may be useful to check that file name is written correctly in the play list.
While initialization, VMB counts total play time. For this aim it must
open every MIDI file in the play list. So if your play list is large,
you have to wait a little.
As you see it's a good idea to delete unused files from your play list or better to select part of them to
mylist.
Visit my link pages
and download MIDI you like yourself. I advice you to begin with
Don Walker's collection.
Or maybe just write me a letter to get some archives.
