Bug Reports / Re: Inconsistent ability to rip CDs
Last post by vicjc13 on March 26, 2024, 08:37:41 AM   |  Started by wfborges
I have had MusicBee for some time and have recently got back to ripping CD's into the library. All was fine for a few days and then the ripping stopped working. No error message -- just some initial whirring sounds from the external CD/DVD player and then nothing. I have the latest MB version (just overwrote the files this evening with a fresh version). Playback of multiple CDs are not affected -- just can't rip. I tested the external CD/DVD on another laptop and was able to rip to that computer. I am out of ideas ...

Questions / Re: How do I search for guest artists in custom search?
Last post by tjinc on March 26, 2024, 07:35:54 AM   |  Started by RetroGameReaper
Like Frankz, I cannot see why this is not working for you - the same search is working for me.

A couple of things you might like to try:
   1. Create an auto-playlist with the same rule (<Artists: Guest> has a value) to see if that gives you any results.
and/or
   2. Create a new tab - select Music node - set view to Tracks. Then Set Displayed Fields adding <Artists: Guest> (and maybe also <Artists: Artist>).

Neither of these actions will explain why your custom search is not working but may show that you have things set up correctly (which you appear to have) and may offer you a way to proceed.

Skins / Re: changing picture of "all artists" in the left panel ?

I actually didn't mean for you to double-post.
The forum moderators would have moved your topic around for you, but it's not the end of the world.

Going back on topic: I'm struggling to understand where the ID AllArtists is coming from.
The thread I linked you to mentions UnknownArtist only. Did you try that?

I'm sorry then, I'm out of ideas about why it wouldn't be working for you.

Are your guest artists tagged appropriately? This is the specific tag you're searching against with the search you've constructed.

Are you searching against your entire library (a selection in the drop-down where you also select Custom Search)?

Yes, I have it (seemingly) set up correctly. That's where my confusion mostly comes from.




I was just searching the local node before, but there's no difference in results for me.

I get the picture now and you're absolutely right.
Being used to the lightning-fast speeds of today's SSDs, it's incredibly frustrating to deal with the slower performance of the HDDs in my NAS.
I really appreciate your advice. Thanks!!

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: MusicBee 64-bit version?
Last post by BearthMark on March 25, 2024, 11:29:56 PM   |  Started by hiccup
Yeah, we definitely need a 64-bit version. The 2-4GB memory limit is an impediment for archivists and data hoarders. We find that we have to split our libraries and podcasts lest we run into a System out-of-memory exception.   

It isn't unreasonable to ask for this. I've actually considered using an alternative. But I'm I've written plugins for MusicBee and I'm super invested in it.

The NAS functions as a external drive. As the NAS is Linux (most of the time) and the PC Windows, there is a layer (SAMBA) translating Win I/O into Linux I/O  over  the network. An entry level NAS might not be the fastest if it is about networked I/O.

I used a NAS for years until one day I switched to a local external SSD. Response is blistering compared with the NAS. From that time on I uses the NAS as "intended", a backup of my PC including the audio.

Last post by tjinc on March 25, 2024, 10:54:21 PM   |  Started by Chuutan
I don't think this has been caused by any virtual or custom tag but simply by the act of rescanning all files (admittedly as a result of creating a custom tag saved to file, but would have happened at some time anyway).
The date format for MP3 is a limitation of the metadata standard practices for that file format and your Windows short date setting (at least for ID3v2.3 - I think ID3v2.4 gets around this).

This 'change' cannot be undone but I wouldn't advise that anyway as it won't stick. Simply force the format of the displayed date by using the following code in the customise panel settings for the Track Information panel:

Code
$Date(<Year>,MMM dd, yyyy)
Or use this code in a virtual tag and display this virtual tag in place of the <Year> field.
(Which I think is what you were trying to do in the first place).
