Title: Identifying Different File Formats at a Glance?
Post by: WannaBee on December 29, 2020, 12:47:26 PM

Although I keep two separate libraries, one in a single lossy format and another in a single lossless format, I have now also combined them into a third. From this, flows the question: Is it perhaps possible to identify, at a glance, the different file formats of any number of tracks on display in MusicBee? For instance, an identifying mark, or colour?

Thank you, and best wishes to every single one of you for 2021, and beyond.

That's pretty easy to do: Preferences > Tags(2) > highlighting

I'm not sure if this addresses your problem, but I just add "kind" to the list of displayed fields.

Thank you, @MTVhike and @hiccup! I would not have known where to look for it, have you not provided the very welcome pointers.

Both methods are good for the job. Off the cuff, the colour-option seems to have a slight edge over the additional column required to display the "kind". However, I am going to check them both out over the longer run.

Thanks again.
