p.s. it's much better to calculate LR functions at startup, saving their results to custom tags to avoid freezes and slowdowns.

I am running the LR at startup but not saving to custom tag.
Didn't need to do that with old ALR

you are wrong. i have compiled plugin source from 2022-06-08 (which has separate ALR command and $ALR() function); $ALR() function is working fast for the mentioned sample preset if used in the track list, but it's dramatically freezing if used in auto-playlists.

I noticed at least my request is fulfilled in https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee36_Patched.zip , thank you.
But don't you publish the progress of the beta version?

I think it's more than just being slow - I've waited for almost 2 hours and the virtual tag still wouldn't load into MB.
If I set that same virtual tag as a displayed field it loads as normal and works fine.

aggregated functions are rather slow by their nature. but if you use them for main track list then MB/plugin needs to calculate them only for displayed tracks (actually, for all tracks in the library, which have the same grouping tags as displayed tracks). it's relatively fast. if you use aggregated functions in auto-playlists or for sorting/grouping, then MB/plugin needs to calculate them for the entire library. obviously, it's much slower.

i've just tested sample LR preset "<album unique id>/count(<kind>)" in auto-playlist:

* auto-playlist is very fast for my test library
* it's dramatically slow for my main library (9210 files only)

current observations: have tried to select this playlist, when i'm on the main library, running MB in debugger, $LR() function is properly invoked, i.e. it just freezing.

First impressions of CoolEdit Nostalgia visualizer 3.0:

This is quite a different work than the original version I tried in August 2023--as in much superior.  I installed from the CoolEdit Nostalgia 3.0.zip file posted at https://getmusicbee.com/addons/visualizer/485/cooledit-nostalgia/.

The zip contains subfolders of 4 different versions (hedging its bets?) one of which is "plugin3.0;"  from that one I extracted the mb_CoolEditNostalgia.dll and mb_CoolEditNostalgia_floating.dll into my MusicBee/Plugins folder, ignoring the optional D2D files. Starting MusicBee, went to Prefs/Plugins and noted CEN was already shown as active.  There are separate entries for both the docked and the floating window versions; the "configure" button only produces an ID.

Went to MB Arrange Panels, and pulled the floating version over into the MusicBee Floating Window entry on the left.  Don't check its box first before dragging to Floating Window or it seems to want to do a panel install.

The floating window is fully resizable which the scale responds to.  The settings are accessed by right-clicking inside the window, and are surprisingly full, covering timing, scale type, grid options, channel display, color selection for all parts of the spectrum graph, etc.  Changes take place in real-time.  Right now I am using double channel display with 125ms time window, light filtering, logarithmic scale with "fixed 20kHz scale" option.  The spectrum reacts well and can be used with or without fill.  "Themes" can be saved.

A relief for me was that no error logs were produced during use unlike my first experience.  However, the Spectrogram Panel plugin had been uninstalled first, as I am running out of screen real estate to have had both and I listen to radio streams far more often than music files these days.  Somebody is welcome to test with that installed and post their results--same with the addition of the optional D2D files which I haven't got around to yet as the results wih GDI are excellent.  Thanks Kamen for the dramatic improvements in this plugin, which will be a "keeper" for me from now on!  BTW the Imgur image isn't as nice as the real thing.

i don't think so. even if the current MB font (default or not) is accidentally coincided with plugin's own default font. checked option means that plugin will follow any changes of MB font in the future.

Thanks for explaining.
It indeed works as you suggested, I now understand.

I think it's more than just being slow - I've waited for almost 2 hours and the virtual tag still wouldn't load into MB.
If I set that same virtual tag as a displayed field it loads as normal and works fine.

aggregated functions are rather slow by their nature. but if you use them for main track list then MB/plugin needs to calculate them only for displayed tracks (actually, for all tracks in the library, which have the same grouping tags as displayed tracks). it's relatively fast. if you use aggregated functions in auto-playlists or for sorting/grouping, then MB/plugin needs to calculate them for the entire library. obviously, it's much slower.

i've just tested sample LR preset "<album unique id>/count(<kind>)" in auto-playlist:

* auto-playlist is very fast for my test library
* it's dramatically slow for my main library (9210 files only)

current observations: have tried to select this playlist, when i'm on the main library, running MB in debugger, $LR() function is properly invoked, i.e. it just freezing.

First impressions of CoolEdit Nostalgia visualizer 3.0:

This is quite a different work than the original version I tried in August 2023--as in much superior.  I installed from the CoolEdit Nostalgia 3.0.zip file posted at https://getmusicbee.com/addons/visualizer/485/cooledit-nostalgia/.

The zip contains subfolders of 4 different versions (hedging its bets?) one of which is "plugin3.0;"  from that one I extracted the mb_CoolEditNostalgia.dll and mb_CoolEditNostalgia_floating.dll into my MusicBee/Plugins folder, ignoring the optional D2D files. Starting MusicBee, went to Prefs/Plugins and noted CEN was already shown as active.  There are separate entries for both the docked and the floating window versions; the "configure" button only produces an ID.

Went to MB Arrange Panels, and pulled the floating version over into the MusicBee Floating Window entry on the left.  Don't check its box first before dragging to Floating Window or it seems to want to do a panel install.

The floating window is fully resizable which the scale responds to.  The settings are accessed by right-clicking inside the window, and are surprisingly full, covering timing, scale type, grid options, channel display, color selection for all parts of the spectrum graph, etc.  Changes take place in real-time.  Right now I am using double channel display with 125ms time window, light filtering, logarithmic scale with "fixed 20kHz scale" option.  The spectrum reacts well and can be used with or without fill.  "Themes" can be saved.

A relief for me was that no error logs were produced during use unlike my first experience.  However, the Spectrogram Panel plugin had been uninstalled first, as I am running out of screen real estate to have had both and I listen to radio streams far more often than music files these days.  Somebody is welcome to test with that installed and post their results--same with the addition of the optional D2D files which I haven't got around to yet as the results wih GDI are excellent.  Thanks Kamen for the dramatic improvements in this plugin, which will be a "keeper" for me from now on!  BTW the Imgur image isn't as nice as the real thing.

There's a request about this in the wishlist forum, I think

After a quick search, it seems there's certainly been a couple of shouts in the past.

i don't think so. even if the current MB font (default or not) is accidentally coincided with plugin's own default font. checked option means that plugin will follow any changes of MB font in the future.

Thanks for explaining.
It indeed works as you suggested, I now understand.

Yeah, this is an old foe of mine as well.
I would suggest you go down the external .lrc file route like I did - assuming your mobile player supports that:

Nice to see a screenshot featuring a track from Alan Walker's best album - peak EDM era.
