Never knew that. Thank you
I was also looking for a hotkey but could not find one. Is there a Hotkey option for that?

MusicBee Wishlist / Remember Library Scroll Position When Switching Between Left Side Nodes
« on: June 20, 2012, 04:12:49 AM »
It would be efficient if Musicbee could remember the last scroll position when I switch to a left side node.
For example I would be halfway down my list of music, then I would click the Inbox node , playlist, or other node and then switch back to the music library and I would have to scroll and find where I left off.
It would also be efficient if all relevant nodes remember its last scroll position.
Much Respect

Questions / Re: Delete Library
« on: June 20, 2012, 03:50:54 AM »
Of course dont delete your music. You could try networking your desktop pc to your notebook and delete the folder that is linked to your pc in musicbee in your notebook. If that folder does not exist anymore then create it, open that library in musicbee, close musicbee, delete the created folder, then see if it is still in your dropdown list. hope it works

Tips and Tricks / Tagging - Copy Tags After a Certain Word
« on: May 28, 2012, 10:41:46 AM »
I recently came across a bunch of files where the 'Artist' field had the featuring artist in its field for example
"(Artist) John Mayer Ft. Norah Jones - (Title) Some Song"
So basically I want to copy everything and including 'Ft.' in the 'Artist' Field to the 'Title' Field to look like this
"(Artist) John Mayer - (Title) Some Song Ft. Norah Jones"
Personally I prefer to have the featuring artist in the 'Title' field so I messaged boroda74 for a solution using his
'Additional Tagging and Reporting Tools' Plugin http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=3833.195
Here is his solution as quoted
Step 1
Create a new ASR preset: Search for .*?Ft.(.*) in artist tag and replace by Ft.$1 in some temp tag (eg custom9).
Step 2
Copy temp tag to Title tag and tick 'append source tag to the end of destination tag'.
Step 3
To remove the 'Ft. Norah Jones' in the Artist tag see here
http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=6540.0
Note that Ft. can be replaced with other common words such as Feat or Feat. or Ft or any other word depending on your situation.
Just thought this might come in handy for others who run into this situation, as you can see it saved me hours of manual editing.

MusicBee Wishlist / Searchable Preferences (Filter Preferences)
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:22:07 PM »
As most of us know, MBee has an extensive list of preferences. I was recently looking for a hotkey option which made me think how easier it would be to have the Preferences Searchable. If you have ever used Directory Opus then you would see how it is implemented in their Preferences Panel. It would certainly make it easier to find settings amongst many settings.
