Questions / Re: Double clicking ANY folder in Windows Explorer opens Musicbee

« on: October 09, 2023, 11:04:38 AM »

Update

I ran the registry edit and rebooted...no change.

I removed all file associations from MusicBee and rebooted and still no change. I think it's also strange that the MusicBee icon still shows up next to my music tracks even with all file associations removed - that's unusual in my experience.

Any further suggestions are welcome

Thanks Zak, appreciate the wisdom.

Editing Registry values can break stuff, so enter at your own risk.[/b]

This I know and, apart from having a very busy couple days, is surely why I'm dragging my feet on this lol.

Thank you very much for this. Haven't had a chance to do it yet as I haven't been home. Will report back.

Yes that is what I'm saying. I've learned that I need to right click and select "open folder here" to avoid opening Musicbee. But being a creature of habit I usually double click the folder and Musicbee opens before I remember.

Should I just remove all file associations in Musicbee?

Questions / Re: MB is showing many genres for my collection that I don't use

Thank you very much Steven!
As I feared a big part of the problem was indeed me being thick...MB was scanning a folder that I didn't think it would scan, containing some new stuff I hadn't checked over yet. I feel very stupid. Thanks again very much for your help.

Questions / MB is showing many genres for my collection that I don't use

« on: January 23, 2021, 11:12:12 PM »

Hello Folks - I have done a lot of reading in the forums today for some help on this. I am VERY sorry if it is asked/answered already and I missed it. Also If I am just being really thick. My issue is just as stated in the title - I have all sorts of genres listed in MB that I do not tag my music with. I mostly use Tagscanner on all my new music files to get them tagged the way I want. I only use a dozen or so different genres, trying to keep things simple. When I look for the music that I happen to feel like listening to at that time I usually do so by genre so that is why this is sort of important to me. I'm hoping it is something simple in preferences that I am missing, but I'm fearing that there are somehow other tags existing in the tracks that I am not aware of, perhaps existing in another format (ID3v2,3 Ape etc) that Tagscanner does not see when I am doing my editing?

I appreciate any help very very much.
