I am a long time user of M from the early days.

No luck using "run as administrator" or "white listing" in Bitdefender.

I seem to recall that last time I updated I had to use a link  "incremental updates"? Can't find such a link now.

Questions / Re: Editing - Album Artist Option

Steven, thanks for that.

This will make it easier/better going forward.

However, the problem I have at present is that where previously the "album Artist" option grouped songs under the artist shown, for some unknown reason they are now shown separately. It will take a long long time to go through the thousands of songs in my library and correct using "multiple splitter tag". Could this have something to do with a "bug" in a particular version of M?

As a M user from the very early days I have never encountered this problem before.

Thanks. That sounds like a really good option.

How do you activate/enact the Multiple Artist Splitter.

Checked in preferences/tagging etc. and couldn't find such an option.

Referring to "Album Artist" option in the editing section. For example, if you have a duet by artists Elvis Presley & Martina McBride and you want to show the song under Elvis Presley in the song listings I would show Elvis Presley as the album artist. If I didn't do this it would create a separate artist listing as Elvis Presley & Martina McBride. Was working OK until recently.

Any help appreciated.

Questions / Editing - Album Artist Option
« on: September 29, 2020, 01:26:31 AM »
For some unknown reason my M library is now showing all songs by an artist individually in the Artist column on left hand side. For example if  I put Kris Kristofferson as the album artist it does not group the song under his name. Instead duets etc. with KK are all shown as separate listings in the artists column. This is happening across all artists. Tried looking into options but could not find a solution.

I downloaded latest version and installed on Windows 10 PC, however, update does show in my Musicbee (i.e. when you close and re-open
it still shows older version).

Any advice/help appreciated.

Questions / Bluetooth
« on: September 12, 2018, 12:08:43 PM »
I am told that Musicbee has a Bluetooth capability that is enabled by going to Edit Preferences/Player/Audio Player/Sound Device. However, when I do this I do not have an option that says Bluetooth. Checked my Bluetooth on PC with other devices and working fine. Any help appreciated.

1) no option in my Bitdefender security software to search for 'whitelist MB!! what is 'whitelist MB'?

2) when you say open existing library with a new install, do you mean save the existing library folder before uninstall or scan files in from folder music is stored in? If the latter, this is where it adds music on the date  scanned.

Questions / Can't Open Musicbee
« on: January 16, 2018, 07:54:34 PM »
All of a sudden M won't open. When I try to open all I get is the starting icon which just stays there with nothing happening. I have done all the scans I know of to see if there is a virus with no sign of any infection. Tried downloading version from website to see if it would open with file opening process, however, still does the same..just freezes on start-up icon. Very reluctant to uninstall/reinstall as this will mean all my music will be reloaded under the one date (i.e. date files rescanned/reloaded) which I don't want to happen. Anyone have any ideas/thoughts  :(  on how to open M without need to uninstall/reinstall? Using version 3.1.

When I say work I mean putting library on NAS drive and casting to Bose amplifier. Looked through forum (some 400 posts) and couldn't find mention of NAS drive.
