I'm not sure I understand why the realtime now? I have a few computers and the first one I just installed 6.1 and it worked great and each song would take about 10 sec. Now I tried installing on computer 2 and all of those songs were recently downloaded(seems anything just downloaded doesnt work with just 6.1 anymore). It doesnt work at all (6.1) but when I try your directions it works but as you said in real time. Do you know why the change from very fast to realtime? Anyway of solving this? Thanks

Worked like a charm :D I could not transfer them to mp3 via "Advanced WMA Workshop" but no need to since the MP3 player is compatible with WMA files.

ok just checking first before I type this up for you did you read?
http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips868.html first because it sounds like you missed a step or two? Now with this most recent post of the patch file I am not sure you need to start with 6.0 but I do know I have done it this way and it does work. But I have not used the patch yet for I am waiting for the other question to be answered let us know if you still stuck

ok since you read it :D

"install mmjb 6.0
then goto the musicmatch file in your programs file
open Plugins and copy wma.inp then save it on your desktop
goto ad or remove programs and remove musicmatch jukebox"

then you install 6.1 open plugins and replace with the wma.inp from 6.0

now as to the new patch I've put it in the plugins folder with the other and it seems about realtime if not a hair (but not more) faster then the other And I tried with out and got the error stated above Audio not compatible or something of the nature

as to the person above Put the orginal wma.inp (from 6.0) back in the folder and it will work

Could anyone tell me where you should put the patch file to make full speed at? Does it go in the plugin folder and does it replace a file or simply add it
to the others? Thank you

"just follow the directions WORD FOR WORD and also get that .mmz file from that guest that speeds up the converting .. its working for me right now I swear! "
There is no directions for this file. Could you let us know where to put the .mmz file and does it replace a existing file?

And how long did it take for those 340 songs? My 1st computer is very fast and it does it just a little faster than realtime but my other slower computer that doesnt use the patch just a clean install of 6.1 (with only tracks downloaded prior to april 25th ((newer ones don't work)) can get them done in 10s or less. Now I must be missing something. Why the two different speeds? I even loaded it on another fast comp and same thing, not much faster than realtime. ? any thoughts anyone?

This is a great method but I have ran into a problem, All of my music is in folders for Artist then Album then the songs. MMjb does not seem to look in subfolders, so I must go into each and every one and click convert. Needless to say with lots and lots of files that would take forever. I dont mind losing all the folders but I cant figure out how to move them into one big folder without going into each one and draging them out. Does anyone know a way or a program that can do such a thing? Thanks a bunch

Use the windows search feature. Search for *.wma. Select all and drag to a folder. Walla

Still wondering if the mmz file will replace something or is just added?

Also does anyone know if you can get napster to let you download more than 2 at a time?

You know I don't get it, Yesterday there where 20 new posts on this, people asking questions, me and a few others helping them and then when I ask a question "where do you put the mmz file and does it simply get added or does it replace a file" No one says a word. Its been 2 days, I have answered a bunch of peoples questions and I can wait a while but this is retarded, Can someone PLEASE answer the question today? Its a simple question and for those of you that says it works great , can you take an extra one min and tell me where the .mmz file goes? thanks
