I don't know about you all but since my switch to MusicBee, I've used it on a number of machines, powerful & otherwise. Owing to this experience, and to the fact that whenever I described & successfully convinced my friends to switch to the 'Almighty' MusicBee I never missed out one particular word, I hoped (despite whichever combination will be approved & used),you'd include said word in the Slogan;

COMPACT

I think this word encompasses a great deal of MusicBee's description. Because as Powerful as it is, Jam-packed with great user-friendly features, it is unbelievably TINY. However, TINY doesn't really sound elegant, so.....COMPACT.

Hey Steven, is it possible to have an option to disable the Main Panel 'Player Controls' within the NowPlaying Tab only & leave it on within the other tabs? I ask coz I'd like to use the Sidebar Controls on that particular tab, leaving the Main Panel clean(er).

Hey all, loving the new changes.
Request:
When using the mini player docked at the top, is it possible to have an option to "show on all desktops"(Windows 10 virtual desktops). Because as is, when switching to another desktop & app, you're left with a mini player-sized gap at the top. Is that something for this forum or is it a Windows problem?

Cheers though.

2. The column browser doesn't seem to jump to whatever letter you type on the keyboard. It happens very occasionally but not really working for me. Don't have this issue when using any other nodes in the left hand panel.

Somewhat related to this, in the Artist View with only the main panel & A-Z jump bar showing, I have to first select a random artist/Letter in the A-Z bar and only then will I be able to search and/or jump to whom I want using the keyboard. It also does this on other views with other panels open, but that's probably because it doesn't know whether you want to search on the Main Panel or the Thumb. Browser or the Column Browser etc.
Is there a way a default can be set for any tab you open with any View, e.g "Automatically search in the furthest_left organiser panel" which I think is what most people use as the 'Main Organiser' in their views?

Hey again all,

1. I found another glitch in the Now Playing Tab;
In v2.5 and the earlier v3.0.5xxx betas(can't recall exactly on which one it stopped), if & when I executed the hot key command I've set for "Go To Playing Track At Source", it used to take me to my Library Tab and highlight/select the song. With the latest one it doesn't though. I get no response to the command. Intentional or?
I should mention that the command works from all other tabs just as before though.

2. I currently have my Library Tab set to Artist View. When I execute the aforementioned command from within the Tab / from any other Tab, it opens up the artist>album>shows all the tracks but doesn't highlight/select, it just places a tiny speaker icon against the song. When I use all other views, the playing song is highlighted/selected though.

1. Thanks for the fix on the Nowplaying Tab Lyrics/Bio display bug.

2.

what skin is this?

Hey @DarkerthanDreams, not ideally the place for this, but since someone else here may/may have liked it too, it's the BeeMetro PureLight Green by silvestreccf.
Here's the link: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=14991.0

Cheers.

Hey again all, still loving all the updates.
One glitch though, don't know if this is on my side only, but in the Now Playing Tab, I can't view neither Lyrics nor Artist Bio on the Main Panel Right Side unless the Right Sidebar is open. i.e:


No Lyrics


Lyrics Viewable

Don't know if you were finished with the Mini Player Layout with v3.0.5891, but I was hoping I'm not the only one who'd want a 'Display_Lyrics_In_Floating_Window' button on the Wide Layout and if possible the Narrow one too. It's a bit hectic right-clicking and having to go through all the menus to activate the option.

i am willing to move that option to the top level of the right click menu which i will do for the next update but not to add a dedicated button. There is already a hotkey available for this as well

Ooph, had forgotten about the hotkey option, but sure, moving it up & on its own line will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for that.

Hi all, been using MB since early November last year and I must say, I was taken aback by all the features and capability packed into this tiny app, and I'm still learning....well done Steven,and all involved!! I've even managed to "convert" three of my buddies, hehehe.

Anyway, I started with v2.5, later upgraded to v3.0 and I've been following this thread & installing all patches since. I just have one request; Don't know if you were finished with the Mini Player Layout with v3.0.5891, but I was hoping I'm not the only one who'd want a 'Display_Lyrics_In_Floating_Window' button on the Wide Layout and if possible the Narrow one too.

Thanks in advance.
