Can you explain what this error message is?
The error is being thrown by the Additional Tagging and Reporting Plugin's Advanced Search and Replace module. More than likely because you're using a newer version of the plugin which requires the latest v3.5 of MB and you're using a very old version. Since you're using the Portable version, download and install the latest 3.5 patch (see my signature below) and you should be all set. If not, post the issue on the thread for the plugin. This section is really only for Tips & Tricks (no questions please.)


This worked!  Thank you so much for the time you put into this, this helps me more than you can even know!  I'll save year's worth of time and effort with this.

Can you explain what this error message is?  I've been trying to add a new genre tag to the existing ones, on multiple songs at a time, but keep running into this error:

Questions / Re: How to copy track playlist(s) to Genre tag, and why...
« on: October 06, 2023, 08:58:31 PM »
The first thing that comes to mind is using the Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools plugin.

And then perhaps using this:

This looks promising... once I get home I'll see what I can do with this and report back.  In the meantime if anyone else has any suggestions, please dont hesitate!

I'm not even close to suggesting a solution, but to be sure that I understand what you are asking for:
You would like to replace the value in the 'genre' tag with the name of the playlist the file is a part of?

Yes you got it.

I would add that I could still keep the typical genre tags that go with the song, and in addition to add the name of the playlists along with them.  So it would looks something like this:

Genre: Rock, Blues Rock, Classic Rock, "PL: Playlist 1", "PL: Playlist 2", "PL: Playlist 3", etc..

Personally I would add the "PL:" prefix to the playlist name in order to keep the playlist grouped together in a list.

So for example... Plex does not allow you to even import any kind of playlist file, which renders it useless to me.  If each song had each of it's playlists written to the genre tag, then I could simply import the songs into Plex and arrange by Genre, this would then list all my playlists, along with typical genres... problem solved.

Or in my case, I bought a Fiio R7 Streamer (awesome device), but there is no easy way to import my MB playlists, and even if I did, I would have to reimport them every time I added a new song to one.  If they playlists names were written to the Genre tags, all I would have to do is scan/rescan my music collection, then sort/arrange by genre and wha-la!  All my playlist would be listed there.

Another benefit is that writing the playlists name to the genre tag is that now that playlist is safe forever... it's saved to the song itself, and travels with the song anywhere it goes.  But saved to a playlist file, the file could be corrupted, deleted, incompatible, etc.. and now you lost hours and hours of effort you spent creating that playlist file. 

Most applications and hardware allow you to sort by Genre, so it will work instantly with almost anything, with out the need to import any kind of playlist files.

Hopefully that makes since!

Questions / How to copy track playlist(s) to Genre tag, and why...
« on: October 06, 2023, 07:32:42 PM »
So for years I have been creating a very comprehensive playlist collection in MB, there's well over 100 with thousands of songs in each one.

Many other music applications, and hardware, do not support these playlists.  However, I'm aware there are other cumbersome ways around this by exporting each playlist, individually, to a different file format, then editing that file to modify the path location of each song reference to fit that particular application or hardwares needs.  Anyone that has done this knows it will eat hours of your time, and then when you add new music to the playlist you have to repeat the entire process from the beginning.

Since most of the other music applications, and hardware, support playback via the "genre" tag, I had the idea of writing the playlist that each song belongs to to that song's "genre" tag, and this would eliminate so much time and effort of dealing with that convoluted process of exporting playlist files, and individually modifying them.

So now the problem would be going through each song in my collection one by one, and copying the name of each playlist it belongs to to the genre tag field..
 This process would likely take a century or longer.

My question:  Does anyone know of a method, plugin, script, addon, 3rd party software, alternative idea, or any other way to automate the process of copying the names of each playlists that each music file belongs to to the genre tag field of those files?

If someone can answer this, you will make this very long time MB user extremely happy!

Other songs from other albums will add to playlist no problem, just seems like it's this new album.

Questions / Error Message When Adding Song To Play List
« on: August 04, 2019, 07:32:47 PM »
I've added 100's of song to playlists.

Today I was listening to a new cd, with flac tracks, and I attempted to add the first song to a playlist, and I instantly get an error message and the song does not add to the playlist

So i tried the other tracks on the same album... and I get the same error.

So then I tried a different alum from a different artist, and it works without any error messages... so it appears that it is only this particular album that will not add to playlist and produce an error.

This is the error message in question:

MusicBee v3.0.6276.35911 (Win10.0), 4 Aug 2019 13:26:

Can someone tell me what is going on, can I fix it so that I can add these songs from this album to playlists?

Questions / Trying to find the classic itunes style view
« on: September 13, 2016, 05:20:48 AM »
I have been using musicbee for awhile, and i have always had my view set a certain way.  This view, I thought, came as a standard view and was easy to enable.  But I rebooted my pc, and reinstalling Musicbee, I do not see this view option anymore.  Can someone help point me in the right direction?

It was the classic iTunes look (3 columns: Genre, Artist, Album... and then the main pane displayed the tracks)

Kind of like this photo

Any help getting back to this view will be greatly appreciated

I was listening to some music today, when suddenly my musicbee crashed.  I went to restart the program, and my theme and everything had reset.  Then is crashed again.  So i restarted my pc, and launched MusicBee again, and it gave me a corruption error.  Not a big deal, except all my custom playlists were in there....  And now, all the files inside my MusicBee Directory are gone!?  Why would they disappear?  I cant open musicbee because now there are literally no files or folders in the MusicBee Directory?  How can i get them back??  Why would it delete itself?
