Questions / "Kind" shows AIFF as "MP3 file"

« on: April 12, 2025, 12:40:53 PM »

Why does this happen?

The side panel where you have a "file details" checkbox correctly shows it as AIFF.

I can't find another keyword for the main panel player track details. Did I miss one?

Questions / Re: ASIO device channels when I want to use headphones

« on: October 19, 2024, 10:48:42 AM »

Yes, ADAT 1/2 and SPDIF 1/2 should be left/right respectively.

Turns out I have a separate issue specifically with 192khz sample rate which I'll take to the RME forums.

Questions / ASIO device channels when I want to use headphones

« on: October 18, 2024, 08:41:47 PM »

These greatly confuse me:



What happens is that I hear sounds in mono. Is it possible to get it to output as Stereo in one channel?

Portable Devices / Re: Export m3u playlist from filters?

« on: July 25, 2024, 05:55:49 PM »

Thank you for the tip about auto-playlists!

Seems they're essentially the same as filters, only they can be auto-exported to .m3u so I now set up that instead and have essentially achieved parity between my DAP and MusicBee which is fantastic.

Portable Devices / Re: Export m3u playlist from filters?

Thank you for pointing out that option to me! I didn't realize MusicBee recognized my DAP.

However, I'm confused by two things:

1. Why can I seemingly only "synchronize" a single filter, whereas playlists I can choose more than one?
2. Does that, in fact, create a playlist for me?

I don't know, seems like a good intended, but possibly under-developed feature. Is there documentation anywhere which maybe explains it more?

Portable Devices / Export m3u playlist from filters?

« on: July 22, 2024, 11:10:45 AM »

I just got my first DAP and it doesn't recognize any tags (beyond genre) or ratings, and in MusicBee I have almost no playlists I just play directly from filters based on occasion, moods & ratings.

Is there any way to export traditional m3u playlists from such a filter?

If there is, I could just take those m3u playlists and replace the path in them to have them work on my DAP.

Bug Reports / Crash with RME-ADI 2 Pro

« on: March 11, 2024, 04:41:58 PM »

I switched from AIMP to MusicBee because AIMP was a bit unstable, but now (after a week or so) I had my first issue with MusicBee as well.

Is it the RME-ADI 2 Pro drivers, I wonder? They are a bit strange (being reported multiple times in Windows, which is probably for different configurations, but still).

Code

MusicBee v3.5.8698.34385P  (Win10.0), 11 Mar 2024 16:39:

System.IO.IOException: A device which does not exist was specified.

Bug Reports / Re: Music distortion with M4A files after latest windows 11 update

« on: March 05, 2024, 04:19:05 PM »

I just had this in Windows 10. I followed the instructions and noticed that no files were overwritten. Why isn't the missing .dll included with MusicBee so people don't have to experience the problem and ask about this here, if it happens so often?

EDIT: No wait, either 44.1khz sounds terrible or 96khz sounds terrible and I have M4A files using both. I downloaded bass_alac.dll from that site's main releases too (again didn't overwrite anything) and the speed is all wrong...

EDIT: Had to completely delete the files of the portable MusicBee I had installed and start over. I wonder if there was an issue with the version the developer gave me which was supposed to patch an issue I had. Well, that issue was minor compared to not being able to listen to all my files!

Bug Reports / Re: Search for artist during a search, filters on first search as well...

Fantastic, thank you for the quick fix! It works as expected now.

Bug Reports / Search for artist during a search, filters on first search as well...

« on: March 04, 2024, 03:57:47 PM »

I have finally been able to put MusicBee in track mode. However:

1. I have a fully locked tab open with a list of tracks
2. I type a word to search for in the top right search box
3. On one of the results, I right-click and do a search for artist
4. A new tab pops open listing all songs for that artist ALSO matching that word

Now, the above would be fine if the word I typed would still be visible in the search box so I could clear it and view all songs by that artist, but I can't. The search box appears and behaves as if nothing was searched for, and the tab title does the same (a title, btw, which resets to just a generic "search result" when you switch away from it and back after a few times).

Questions / Re: MB won't update ratings tag in .flac files

« on: March 04, 2024, 11:36:28 AM »

Did you find out your issue?

Similarly, I see that MB won't save ratings to ALAC files (but will for MP3)...

Questions / Show progress bar as "volume chart"?

« on: March 04, 2024, 08:06:16 AM »

Sorry, I don't know the correct name for it, but I want to switch the progress ar line to whatever this skin uses:

I read here, but can't see what I'm looking for:

https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Player_Controls

EDIT: I see that this skin even has it in the track information... so it is a plug-in? Where can I find information about it?

Bug Reports / Re: Music explorer sorted by genre often resets to the top of the list

« on: March 03, 2024, 11:25:07 AM »

i am not able to reproduce this so could you send a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings)

Here's a link to the settings file:

https://pastebin.com/FuHgzsiY

But I was finally told how to switch the player from album focus to track focus, so I'm only using those tabs now fully locked and I'm quite happy! The music explorer tab was the only one which apparently was this jumpy.

Questions / Re: Switch MusicBee UI focus from albums to songs?

« on: March 03, 2024, 11:21:30 AM »

The left sidebar might be hidden, try going to Preferences > Layout (1) > Arrange Panels, and set left sidebar to "show"

That was apparently the case, thanks again! (It's rather confusing that there's more than one left panel... that slideover panel which populates a new tab should never be allowed to be hidden upon tab creation, imo.)
