Questions / Re: Auto-organize / library location question.
« on: October 24, 2016, 06:27:08 PM »
I have exactly the same setup as yours. MB on C drive, music files on D drive. I have a folder named "inbox" on D drive and store all not-ready-for-library-yet files in it. I also have "New" subfolder inside "inbox" folder, and all newly purchased/ripped files go to that folder. Once all tagging is done in inbox node, I send them to library, and they get auto-organized into "Music Files" folder on D drive.

Thanks.

Think I'm going to stick with my current method (seems like less work for me) but thanks for the suggestion.

Think that's what I'll do.  Thanks again for the help - much appreciated.

Wow - thanks again for the response Psycho.

1) great.  Non-issue;

2) my auto organize is set up for the data drive (E:\Music\).  When I download music it generally goes to my C drive.  I then add to inbox and you saw the rest from my post above.  I'm thinking the easiest fix would be to just start with the files on the E drive.  Would that work or is there a better way?

Thanks again.

I hate to be a bother but I have two more questions regarding the library:

1) does the red exclamation next to auto-organize ever go away?  It doesn't bother me but the exclamation gives me pause that I missed a setting somewhere;

2) More importantly, the Inbox.  I thought I understood how to use it (from previous time with MusicBee) but I think now that I have the program on the C drive and my music on the E drive I have to change a setting somewhere.  When adding new music I always put it in the Inbox, fix tags, etc, and then send to the library.  But now - after sending to library - the files don't migrate; they remain in the same place.  I know I could do a manual workaround but I'm guessing there's a way to automate this.

Thanks in advance for any further advice.

Thank you again!  I had a feeling that was the case but didn't want to assume anything.  Much appreciated.

Thank you!  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my takeaway was that the "music library" does not necessarily contain the music files.  So I can have the "music library" on the C drive and the mp3s on the E drive.  I just don't want to click "auto-organize" and have all my files migrated to the C drive.

Thanks again.

I've used MusicBee for a few years now so I feel like a bit of a dumb-ass but I have a question regarding library settings. 

I recently had a HD crash but thankfully all of my data was recovered.  My laptop has two drives: C drive for (mostly) program files and such, and an E drive for data (music, photos, etc.).  Previously I had all the music on the C drive so set-up was fairly straightforward. 

I've now installed MusicBee on the C drive and able to play music from the E drive but I would like to have the library auto-organized as before.  Can anyone tell me how I should go map things before I mess things up?  I've already spent hours restoring my computer and would like this step to be as painless as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Questions / Re: Adding new files to existing iTunes library.

Many thanks for the quick response.  I think I'll just pull the trigger and jettison iTunes.  That's what brought me to MB in the first place.  Thanks again.

Questions / Adding new files to existing iTunes library.
« on: January 14, 2015, 12:47:28 AM »
Hello and thanks for this great software.  I've played around with it for a week or so and really like the customization - but it there's so much it can be a bit daunting at first.  I'm not yet ready to make a clean break from iTunes and have a question about library organization.  I imported my existing iTunes library without any major problems and everything seems to be working. 

My questions are:

1.  When adding new files to MB is there any way have them automatically imported into the iTunes library with all my existing files or must they go into the new MB folder?;

2.  When I'm ready to make a clean break should I just select "auto organize files" (thus importing everything into MB) and then delete the iTunes folder?

3.  Is there any way to have track number and total album track appear in the same field (i.e. "track 1 of 13") like in iTunes?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
