Questions / Re: Auto-Playlist Help

« on: August 02, 2024, 05:39:55 PM »

I think I got this working with the help of another thread I found which I can't seem to find now to give credit to.





I'll reply back if any issues.

Questions / Auto-Playlist Help

« on: August 02, 2024, 05:37:31 PM »

Hi guys,

What I am trying to accomplish is to find albums that have no songs with ratings.

Some backstory - Basically I find a song I like; I add the entire album and then I mark that song 5 stars. Then I build Auto-Playlists based on Genre and Rating.

However, a while back my database in MB got corrupt and I had to start over, I imported all my Music and my ratings where gone. Since then, I've fixed a lot. But I was hoping to try and generate an Auto-Playlist that would show me all albums that don't have a single rated song so I know which ones I am missing.

Thanks for the help.

For anybody who comes across this post in the future:

This plugin works pretty well, it does sync playlists back and forth but not actual hearted/liked songs.

This plugin works pretty well…

Thanks for reporting back, and confirming that you didn't perform a search on the matter before asking.

Thanks for being a dick, you could just help people, it doesn't cost a thing to be nice.

Questions / Re: Artist First Character in Folder Structure

« on: August 11, 2023, 11:11:50 PM »

Maybe I was tripping because it doesn't work anymore.

How does that act to the word "The". Like "The 1975". Would it put it in "1" or "T"?

Thank you in advance

Questions / Artist First Character in Folder Structure

« on: August 11, 2023, 07:35:03 PM »

I've tried these:

$Group(<Album Artist>),1
$Left(<Album Artist>),1
$FirstChar(<Album Artist>)

They work except it groups the numbers 0-9, is it possible not to do that or is there other code I can use?

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: "First letter of Artist name" field for device media storage

« on: August 11, 2023, 07:27:08 PM »

If you only want the first letter, $Group(<Artist>,1) and $Left(<Artist>,1) will do the same thing.

Where Group is a little more flexible is that the second parameter is how many characters will appear in each group.
So you can tweak it depending on the how many groups you want to end up with.

1 = A, B, C, D, E, F ...
2 = AB, CD, EF ...
3 = ABC, DEF ...

Numbers are always grouped as "0-9".

If it still isn't clear:
* Select a few different files from different artists
* Right-click
* Select Send To > Folder (Copy) > Copy Files to Organised Folder
* Add the $Group function to the naming template and adjust the second parameter to see how it affects the new file name in the preview list.

How do I make numbers NOT group by 1-9

Questions / Re: Organize Library Media/Medium type?

« on: August 10, 2023, 07:51:07 PM »

I was just writing a post showing where to define Media Type when you found the right place for it.

If all your files are .mp3, no Tag Mapping should be necessary.
But -- out of experience -- MusicBee must have finished re-scanning your entire collection (so as to add the different values of "Media Type" to its library index) before you can use the new custom tag.

Going to let it re-scan and test. Thank you

I did this, but they all just show up as Unknown Media Type when it is set correctly.

So under the field selector, which item am I supposed to select for the Media Type? I don't see "TMED"

Questions / Organize Library Media/Medium type?

« on: August 10, 2023, 05:57:19 PM »

I use Lidarr along with MusicBee and I like how I have it set to organize multi-disc albums like so:

Album Artist\Album Name (Year)\Media Type Disk#\Track# - Song Title

For example:

Disc 1
The 1975\A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018)\Vinyl 01\01 - The 1975.mp3
    
Disc 2
The 1975\A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018)\Vinyl 02\01 - The Man Who Married a Robot   Love Theme.mp3

The problem is, I can't seem to find a Media/Medium Type in MusicBee, am I missing something?

Lidarr calls it Medium and MusicBrainz calls it Media. Does MusicBee call it something different?
