Questions / Playlist: sort albums by most total playcounts; top 50 most played albums

« on: November 23, 2022, 04:16:13 PM »

This probably needs some scripting, if it's even possible at all.

I would like to have a playlist of say 50 albums that I have added in the last 12 months.
Then these albums should be sorted by the average play count of the tracks.

Is this possible within musicbee?

I mean, filtering my albums added in the last 12 months is easy enough.
But then, how do I grab the 50 albums with the highest average play count and order them accordingly?

Questions / Re: Double click album in Artist view just opens a new window with just that album.

« on: August 11, 2022, 01:03:25 PM »

in your settings file 'drill down in a separate panel' is ticked, so double clicking will not play the tracks and instead open a new panel

Do you know where that setting is? In any 'customize panel' I try, it has 'directly under the selected album' selected instead of drilldown.

If the settings file indeed says something different then what I selected, then I assume it fails to save that setting?  

edit:

3.5 fixed the issue indeed, it now shows the setting that is consistent with what you say is in the settings file.

Here you go:

Let me know if you'd prefer a different sharing method.

I did enable and then disable 'show "click to play" button when mouse is over a picture', and kinda assume this is the cause. So it may well be a bug?

I have 'directly under the selected album or artist' checked, and this works perfectly if I single click the album.

MusicBee Wishlist / Improvements to Artist view

« on: August 10, 2022, 04:21:23 PM »

There is a number of improvements I'd like to see to the artist view:

* The most important improvement to me personally is instead of listing the albums in a single long line that needs a scroll, show the albums in a grid. Right now the albums 'on page 2' (ie requires a scroll) are a lot less likely to receive a random play than the ones showing 'on page 1'. Showing the albums in a grid instead would fix this, as well as give the view a much clearer overview.

* Allow a tag bellow the artist name when expanded? I have a custom tag on all my albums indicating the country where the artist/band originates from. I would love it if I could show this here.

* Group the albums in the expanded window by tag. I would love to have the albums grouped by Studio Album/Best Of/EP

* Allow a 3rd line below each album, I'd like to show the album rating here.

Here's an example of how it would look like (it's still missing the album rating though)

Questions / Double click album in Artist view just opens a new window with just that album.

« on: August 10, 2022, 03:51:44 PM »

Previously when I double clicked an album in this mode, it queued the album last as intended.


Now it just opens a new window with just this album. Worse, double clicking that album opens yet another window with the album displayed in a different style. (at which point double clicking finally queues it)



In the Preferences -> Now Playing -> action when double click is still set at Queue Last.
What other setting do I need to change to get the old back?

Questions / Questions about update

« on: November 27, 2020, 12:23:58 PM »

I recently updated from 3.2.something to the latest version, 3.4.something.

While reading through the changes, I had two questions:

Can somebody share a picture showing what is meant by this?:

album covers and artist views can now be configured to show album tracks in a separate panel.

Where do I set nested tags?

new tag hierarchy panel that allows you to create your own nested hierarchy based on tags (most people would use genres)

I already have Genre and Genre Category via the old fields, but if possible I'd like to this further.

MusicBee Wishlist / Subgrouping for group by Album Artist

« on: June 06, 2020, 05:11:47 PM »

I requested something similar a couple of years ago in the 'Album types' topic. But I guess it's a little bit different and lost in the other discussion.


*I'm using the artist/group by album artist view. I wish I could group my albums in this view by type (studio/live/compilation/lp) like this:



don't mind the repetition, it just to quickly show what I had in mind. They should all be different albums.


*Also, I'd prefer it if a row is full it shows the overflowing albums on a new row instead of having to scroll to it.


Or is it possible to code a view like this myself?

MusicBee Wishlist / 2 rows of tabs

« on: March 19, 2019, 04:55:48 PM »

Hey, I was thinking it could be useful if we could have 2 rows of tabs.

I break down my library in main genres like Rock/Pop/Jazz/...
If I have 2 rows of tabs I can use one row for the genres only and the other for the music explorer/inbox/...

I think that would make my library look a bit cleaner and faster to use.

Questions / Playlist of most played albums

« on: November 29, 2018, 09:54:47 PM »

Hey,

I'd like to have a playlist that selects the most played albums for me, so I can easily drag them to my phone.

I assume adding all the play counts of the album tracks together in a virtual tag is the way to go, but I have no idea where to start with this..?

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Scrolling albums row

« on: June 20, 2018, 09:45:54 AM »

It only works if the main window doesn't have a scroll bar.

Anyway, I'd much rather have the albums wrap around onto a second row of albums.
The way it is right now I'm very unlikely to listen to albums that don't fit in the screen.
+ it would be a click less.

Questions / Sort albums by year in artist view

« on: April 02, 2018, 11:34:01 AM »

Hey,

My old laptop crashed a week ago, and I'm now trying to rebuild my library the way it was.

I used a standard view, 'Artists'.
But I can't find how I sort the albums by year.
The 'sort by' in the menu disappears with this view..

Can anyone help?
