They don't conflict in any way that I'm aware of and have always worked fine when running at the same time. (If LW worked as well and reliably as MediaMonkey does, I'd be very satisfied.)
My issue is strictly with LW's random failure to connect to the network. It's a major issue for a lot of LW users and has been a known issue for a long time. The LW developers need to figure out why it happens, then devise a solution rather than expect all of us to become LW mechanics.
I spent 4 hours yesterday being a LW mechanic and couldn't get it to connect. Finally, in frustration, I shut LW down, ate dinner and watched some TV. This morning I started LW and it connected in seconds. Go figure !  |
