MusicBee Wishlist / File Converter: Allow more than 9 max threads

« on: March 10, 2024, 05:22:42 AM »

With modern CPUs being absolutely bonkers in terms of thread counts and juice, it would be nice to be able to increase usage past 9.

Thank you very much 🙏

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Deleting Tracks

« on: December 31, 2019, 10:00:02 PM »

I can't speak for other setups, but my NAS actually has its own recycle bin. I think it has to be explicitly enabled in settings when configuring the share drive.

I'll investigate this. I've been assigning network locations like //Whatever/ instead of drive designations. I suppose I need to make it a network attached drive.

Thanks for the point in the right direction, I've just learned something. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can manage this.

EDIT:

Since this isn't a NAS per-se, my options are limited. Deleted items on network shares, whether mapped as a drive or not, go poof for the most part.

I've done what this link has suggested and mapped a network drive on my desktop from the physical drive in my desktop then set a default user folder there (the useless to me "3D Objects" in my case) and it works correctly, an item deleted in Musicbee mapped to the new Z: drive rather than the //Whatever/ network location now goes to recycle bin.

The next step now is to test this method on my laptop.


EDIT2:

I've confirmed this working on my laptop now too. I've set the same network drive, and on this I used another of the Windows default folders relocated to the new Z: drive and the file in Musicbee now deletes and shows up in the Recycle Bin on both computers now. It appears the files are linked too as I can remove the file from the bin on either computer and it automatically stops showing on other.

This doesn't appear to be the most elegant solution but it works well enough.

Thank you for the point in the direction, I've learned something.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Deleting Tracks

« on: December 31, 2019, 07:31:53 PM »

Well, Steven, it probably is the case, except sometimes, it's a user-created issue.

The layout is that while I have MusicBee installed on my 'main' XP machine, all the tracks are stored on a drive on another machine which has drive letters mapped on the main machine.  Apparently when I delete a track from 'the library and the computer' the deleted tracks really are deleted.  They are -not- in the Recycle Bin on the actual machine where they (used to) live.

I don't think there's a way around this.

Well I've just come across this issue myself, deleting a file from my inbox on a network map drive (that's actually on the PC in question) and it doesn't go to recycle bin.

This is worrysome because there's been many times where I've accidentally deleted a track(s) while organizing and need to dig it out of the Recycle Bin... now with my new setup using a network drive they're just going to be gone.

I suppose that I could map the inbox to a physical drive location on my computer here and that would solve the problem, but it's a bit inelegant as I wouldn't be able to mirror my settings to my satellite laptop without making sure I modify it to a network share every time, and if I accidentally delete from my inbox on my laptop then the file is still gone. And that's just the inbox, I'd need to reconfigure my library as well. If something accidentally deleted in my main library (cat walking on keyboard) then it's poof too.

I'd like to echo the request the person here made:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=29520.0

Also, I know it's a 10 year necro, but I figured with the players in the thread and the topic being brought up I'd rather just add my voice than make a new one. Happy 2020!

Keepin' it simple and clean. I love how powerful Musicbee is in an era where options are tending to be removed.

Bug Reports / Re: Right panel volume slider/number- The Part 2

« on: December 16, 2018, 07:32:30 AM »

As Steven has also made some other layout options available for the player bar, it looks like the sidebar volume slider has been removed.
You just mouse over the icon/number and scroll up/down to change the volume.

That's.... unfortunate. That's an extra click to bring up the laptop touchpad friendly slider that was there by default previously. It seems both a functional and aesthetic regression to me.

I think it may be window-size dependent. Make the MB window wider (or narrower) and see if that makes a difference. If that doesn't change it, then try changing the width of the panel.

I've already done both slide panel wider and make window larger and it doesn't make any difference. There's definitely enough room for the slider to fit no problem, this is a recent change and it's been a slider previously for years without issue.


This is fullscreen at 2880x1620 resolution with the side panel as large as I can make it:

Bug Reports / Right panel volume slider/number- The Part 2

« on: December 15, 2018, 04:05:45 AM »

Hello,

I'm sorry to be making another post about this but only one problem was solved (which I appreciate) but the other question/problem remained unresolved.

Sometime in the last couple versions the volume slider turned into a number in the right panel controls. The main controls (which I usually have disabled) are fine, you can see in screenshot below, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the slider back for the right panel.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, a deliberate change, or something else?



Thank you

Questions / Re: Any way to stop this notification icon from showing up?

« on: December 01, 2018, 09:53:41 PM »

It shows up to notify things to you because the left sidebar is hidden in all your tabs. If any tab has the left sidebar shown, the icon won't show up.

Indeed I have it closed. That's a little bit frustrating as I have no use for the left bar or the information that icon has told me.

Okay, I'll maybe figure out how to jigger my layout to include the left bar.

Thank you for the quick answer  


Edit: It seems there's no way to not have the navigator included in the left bar, which seems to be the reason why I disabled it to begin with as I really don't want the navigator. Oh well, I'll live with that random appearing icon.

This icon shows occasionally with 'added items to inbox' or whatever and I can close it but it comes back. Can I stop it from showing up period?

Thank you

that should be fixed now:

Confirmed fixed, thank you!

Any way to change the numerical display back to a slider by default like previous versions?

Bug Reports / Right panel volume slider/number

« on: November 29, 2018, 02:05:18 AM »

Hello,

I've just updated from one of the version 3.2 betas to the latest 3.3 beta and now my volume slider has turned into a number that's cut off when at 100. It doesn't seem to matter how much space I give the right panel, it will not show the full 100. I have checked on several random skins.

Ideally though, I would prefer to be able to have my slider back without clicking the numerical value.

Here's an image:

Thanks!


EDIT: Changing Window's DPI to 100% instead of 125% fixes the number being cut off, but my high resolution screen is pretty much unusable like this. This is on Windows 7. This does not solve the slider turning into a number.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Selective Last.fm scrobbling

« on: October 30, 2018, 05:20:30 AM »

Aw shucks, I see that now. My bad...

The folder select doesn't seem to want to stick though. I click the dots, select my folder, and... well, nothing. I tried before and after updating to latest beta in your sig.

Thank you for pointing out my oversight!


Edit: This appears to function correctly in latest 3.3 beta. Thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / Selective Last.fm scrobbling

« on: October 27, 2018, 10:48:24 PM »

Howdy,

Small feature request, the ability to select what tabs you would like to scrobble from while playing? Or at least the ability to disable scroblling while playing tracks in the Inbox rather than the main library.

This is because I'd like to not have tracks I'm trying to filter through show up in my last.fm and it's hard to remember to toggle the last.fm button everytime I'd like to switch back and forth.

Thanks!

Questions / Re: Compare playlists to library and show tracks not yet added?

« on: October 25, 2017, 01:30:17 AM »

How about creating an auto-playlist with a bunch of rules that "Playlist" "is not" some lists?
Also you can use highlighting feature under Preferences> Tags (2) to easily discern tracks by their playlists while browsing library.

That's interesting. I'll do some poking around.

Thank you

Questions / Compare playlists to library and show tracks not yet added?

« on: October 21, 2017, 10:59:59 PM »

Hey, I'm wondering if there's a way to compare all tracks in a library to a set of playlists and see if any have been excluded?

I've created around 10 large playlists to match moods and music styles for play in my car and every time I add new music I need to remember to include in one or more of those playlists. As anyone knows who manages a large set of anything, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Curious if something like this is in Musicbee, or if there's an external tool I can use? Any ideas?

Thank you
