Questions / what file(s) holds my customizations?

« on: May 16, 2016, 10:29:39 PM »

I have 2 PCs. I'd like them to have the same layout and any other customizations that I make.
There must be a file or 3 that hold all that info, but I've not been able to identify it.
Can someone please tell me what it is, and, if it's not in the MB main app file in program files (x86), where the file is located?

Thanks very much.

Questions / Re: question re tags, properties, origin

Ah. Thank you both. I never thought about podcasts. Of course, the pages I looked at don't use the term "Origin," so it's no surprise that I didn't make the connection. Don't have any, but don't want to be using that field in case I do get some.

Yes, I found Media Type, and was figuring on that as a likely option if "Origin" didn't work, so that's the direction I'll go.

Thanks again!

Questions / question re tags, properties, origin

« on: February 15, 2014, 01:52:24 AM »

In the tags, at the bottom of the Properties tab, there is a field titled Origin.

What is it for?
Is it part of the ID3v2 tag or something in the MB database?
It doesn't show up in Windows file Properties, so I'm guessing that it's not part of that.

Like any other tag field, I can get a column in the main window, and the field seems to take text, not date, etc.

I've looked here: http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_Tags
and here: http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0
and here: http://id3.org/Frames
but can't find that field listed.

I'm looking for a place to keep track of where I got the files I have (Amazon download, ripped from CD, recorded live, etc.). "Origin" looks like a good candidate for that, but not if something else is actually going to want to be in that field. If so, I'll just make a custom tag.
