Probably not many single or jukebox lovers around here.  ;D

Questions / highlighted selected text does not change color
« on: November 22, 2018, 07:03:06 PM »
Setting a highlighting rule to color the text is a nice feature.
But I noticed that when text is colored because of such a rule and you select a track, the text color remains the same.
I have tried a couple of skins and for some the background will change a bit but it is hard to know if you have selected a track because the text color stays the same.
Should the text color of a highlighted track be overruled when you select it?
Is this depending on the skin?

Assuming the album name is the track title for the single, it seems like Album Covers view would work fine for this. Maybe with the expanded view turned off.

Thank you psychoadept, I have tried that and some other things, but it does not give me that 'singles feel'.
It is a good view for albums and their covers, but I would like focus on hit singles, mainly just artist and song.

On second thought I may not even need a picture for them.
If the tracks that I have marked as 'hit single' come from an album, showing the album cover would not even be appropriate for most of them. And maybe a bit distracting too, taking up a lot of space and attention.

I found this idea, which is almost exactly what I am looking for:

But that would probably need a new view option for the main panel that currently doesn't exist?

It's a bit hard to explain perhaps, because I am not sure what it would look like for myself.
But when I have friends over, have a simple view where everybody can just click on a single to play it or play next.
A bit like a jukebox?
So, no large album covers, no small track details, but something inbetween?

Is there maybe some sort of party mode for this?

I understand that this would need tracks to marked as being 'a single' for this purpose.
Some will be separate tracks, some will be on albums, but that's not a problem.

I am wondering:

Musicbee has a couple of views to display: albums, tracks, or albums and tracks.

But I have a lot of singles.
How do you guys display singles nicely?

Track details is the least worse for this, but I don't want all details, just artist, title, and the nice cover.
Can you do this somehow?

I'm sorry to hear you had a problem registering for the forum. I know sometimes the lack of the detail in some pictures makes it difficult to see and might result in an incorrect response. However, if we did not have the Captcha step, the forum would be inundated with spam. As it is we're manually deleting spam almost daily. Personally it's a small price to pay to keep the forum spam-free. Besides, once it's done, you won't have to do it again.

All true.
Not complaining, just pointing out that it may not be functioning very well (for humans that is, maybe bots perform better here: they don't get tired or irritated), and that it might brush-off some users aspiring to become a member.

Back on-topic:
Do you happen to have some suggestions for my virtual tag challenge?

7
I'm trying out MusicBee and it's more advanced features.
But I am already running into a problem with the so called "virtual tags".

I would like to have a virtual formula that performs an action depending on if two regular tags are empty or not.

Presenting a simplified example:

If the tags <occasion> and <mood> are both empty, output 'empty'.

I've tried many formulas by now, but I can't find one that is working.

This one surely doesn't work, but it might give you an idea about what I am trying to accomplish here:
$if($and($isnull(<occasion>),$isnull(<mood>)),empty,populated)

Surely this can be done and I am missing something, but what?

Tia!


P.S.
Trying to become a member on this forum is a very bad experience.
I'm pretty sure my answers for selecting matching pictures was correct, but I got rejected repeatedly.
I almost gave up and called it a day.

(I have probably wasted my time in helping google or some other party to learn how humans identify pictures for free?)
