<LYP_NoLyricsText>Spoken Word, Instrumental, or No Lyrics</LYP_NoLyricsText>-1I'm not sure why disagreeing with a wishlist request needs to be quite so harsh.
A request which would only waste Steven's time. You already know there's a check box for 'no lylrics' so I suggest using it.
Instrumental is an obvious one, but it would be nice to include things like Spoken Word, Classical, Score etc. too.At least two of these three will or can have lyrics?
Then pick some other values to use as an example if mine don't suit. I'm saying if something were to be implemented, it is always more useful to allow the user to specify values for settings like this, than having just one hard-coded in.Instrumental is an obvious one, but it would be nice to include things like Spoken Word, Classical, Score etc. too.At least two of these three will or can have lyrics?
But if somebody does have a system where his genre tags imply a song having lyrics or not, these genre tags will not get lost with a new library or database, and a virtual tag can easily be used and re-implemented to achieve something like this.Um... that's the point I'm making. The Mark as having no lyrics doesn't create a tag, so I can only assume it is saved to the database and dependent on the file path. Make a new library and you'll have to mark all your instrumental tracks again. Having something based on the genre tag (or another tag) can be used regardless of library or location.

A request which would only waste Steven's time. You already know there's a check box for 'no lylrics' so I suggest using it. In another thread it's already been explained to you how to create a highlight rule to display tracks with no lyrics.
You can create a custom tag for 'instrumental' and search using that. Then when you have all the instrumentals displayed, mark them all with 'no lyrics.'
The tools already exist to do this.
In addition, you can addCodeto MusicBee3Settings.ini (found in the AppData directory where MB is installed)<LYP_NoLyricsText>Spoken Word, Instrumental, or No Lyrics</LYP_NoLyricsText>
which will display this in the lyrics panel:

I know you are tagging from MusicBrainz, so I suggest using the zxx language tag for "no lyrics", which will already be tagged on files with correctly configured works. That will be saved in the file, and you can easily create an auto-playlist to find the files and mark them as having no lyrics in bulk.
I have an auto-playlist for identifying instrumentals, which pulls in anything that's been marked as no lyrics ("Lyrics?" starts with N) as well as anything with Language = zxx. I display the Lyrics? column in that playlist so I can easily see if there are ones that I still need to mark.

Besides that, as some whose library is about 25% instrumental, I think this would be useful so:

The easiest way is to allow users to specify Genre values that should automatically be considered as having no lyrics.
Instrumental is an obvious one, but it would be nice to include things like Spoken Word, Classical, Score etc. too.
This wouldn't be difficult to implement and doesn't require users to tag all every single instrumental track.
It also removes the potential for that information to be lost when creating a new library or database.

So to me personally, same as phred, I don't see added value in it.
I wish people wouldn't take things so "personally"... I ran into a problem, would like solutions. That's all. Thank you for your support.I think the resistance to your posts has more to do with your unbearably obnoxious manner than the actual content. Don't take it "personally."
So, what about a "custom tag" solution that's made "standard" in the industry, and then MusicBee or any other program can use it to "ignore" those files?I suggest you go to the Wiki and search for custom tags. Then come back here and search for custom tags in the forum.
I will have to research this... I've never seen that tag even though I've used MB Picard to fully tag all my files as I like.
Thank you for the info...
But, a simple check by the "Show Files with Lyrics" function should be able to be implemented, for it to "ignore" the files which have those classifications/tags.

If there's something you can actually point to as a "problem" in my speech, then I can correct it.This (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=35635.msg194902#msg194902) addresses why people don't like your manner better than I ever could.

It's ok, plenty of people are socially awkward and don't know how to get along with other people. I'm just trying to help you understand what it is about you that annoys people so you can, like you said, correct the problem. I hope you do. I'm sure there's something useful you could offer the forum someday, and I hope we get there.
