Questions / Re: Want to edit only Artist field, Album Artist changes too

« on: January 29, 2019, 09:17:55 PM »

Thanks for the recommendation of mp3tag. I've been using it for a few days now and have created a whole series of actions to speed the process. How do I rescan the library in mb?

I see. That can be confusing. I'm disabled and mass-tagging with an eye -controlled interface is difficult enough to begin with. Is there any way to change that display method so if a tag is empty it appears empty? If it's showing tags as filled when they're not, how is one to know it needs editing, without looking at every file in the tag editor?

I'm trying to edit the Artist tag for a group of files. The contents of the Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane' and the contents of the Album Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane'.

Neither field is empty. As stated, both fields are tagged with the same information. I'm trying to change one. Both change.

Questions / Want to edit only Artist field, Album Artist changes too

I'm trying to edit the Artist tag for a group of files. The contents of the Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane' and the contents of the Album Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane'.

I select a group of files and press shift-enter. Then,  in the Artist field I enter 'Miles Davis' and I check the check box. I leave the Album Artist field empty and unchecked because I don't want that field changed.

However, when I click the little disk icon to save changes, both the Album and Album Artist fields change to Miles Davis, even though Album Artist was unchecked. Anyone know why?

Questions / MusicBee Portable inside library folder - possible?

« on: July 08, 2018, 01:14:44 AM »

I have my music library sitting on a debian Linux fileserver, the library itself mirrored to an external ntfs-formatted hard drive shared via samba:
  
\\192.168.50.50\Music

The 'Music' share represents the root of the MB library. Under it are subfolders by genre and under each of these are subfolders for individual albums:

\\192.168.50.50\Music\Genre\Artist - Album\01 Track Title.mp3

I'd like to set up the MB portable application within the same structure:

\\192.168.50.50\Music\0-MusicBee
\\192.168.50.50\Music\0-Incoming

Does this sound like a good approach? Am I facing potential issues having MB inside the library itself? Are there any issues with MB sitting in a network share? Can MB be safely accessed from two locations at once or should I avoid this?

Well that was easy enough. In retrospect I should have searched the forum before I posted but thanks for the quick reply!

Bug Reports / MusicBee won't reopen after previewing pastel skin

« on: June 23, 2018, 12:12:11 AM »

I've been trying musicbee for the last week or so on a surface tablet. All has been great except today I decided to take a look at all the preinstalled skins. Inside the pastels category MB would not reopen. It gives me the following bug report in a pastel colored window. I don't really intend to use a pastel colored theme. I just want to be able to open MB. Hoping for some guidance.
