Tips and Tricks / Re: MusicBee 3 with Wine and dual boot

« on: November 03, 2019, 11:17:39 AM »

Changing the temp directory seems to work, at least for me

How to set a custom Temp folder

You can make MB use a custom temp folder instead of the default Windows Temp folder when your C drive doesn't have enough free space for a task you're about to perform. Add the following with the proper path into MusicBee3Settings.ini file.

Code

<ENV_TempFolder>E:\temp</ENV_TempFolder>

The file exist error also happens if I want to edit a file in any way, for example change the rating. Sometimes I have to wait a few seconds after playing another file and it will write, often enough not. I tried switching off and on several settings, analyzed the tags and mp3 files for error with eyed3, mp3val, mp3 Diags and mp3tag - no clue.

Still got no clue why it happens. Especially annoying while rating tracks. Workaround for general tagging problems:
Send to mp3tag
X:\.wine\drive_c\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe

And do not forget to clean
/home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/besitzer/Temp

from time to time. Much garbage there

@moment

I suggest to start over with a new WINEPREFIX, it has to 32-bit.

@shepard

Do you see the cover artwork in other views? I would try to clean the cover cache, rebuild library, check settings about reading artwork, check the artwork itself... that stuff. Sorry, no real idea.

To show your files in filemanager:

Musicbee settings->Tools:

Name: explorer.exe

Path: Z:\home\username\.wine\dosdevices\c:\windows\explorer.exe

Parameter: "<Path>"



Then use in musicbee "send to" explorer.exe

Better then nothing, I guess. Would like to know how to open the files in your native linux file manager...

Thank you very much! I tried several times during the years. Now it's working for me too on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon (Ubuntu 18.04).

Code

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt update

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt install winetricks

rm -r ~/.wine
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine wineboot

wine  ~/Downloads/MusicBeeSetup_3_2_Update3.exe

(install mono, install gecko during setup)

Code

winetricks -q dotnet45 mfc42 xmllite gdiplus d3dx9 vcrun2008 wmp10

winecfg

(to win10)
In musicbee settings: Player Output - DirectSound, Soundcard - Pulseaudio

   I am very interested in a dynamic-automated solution!

Thank you - I will do it so. I tried to set it up automated with formulas, but my knowledge of that is too limited.

If there is one highly rated album in the discography of an artist, but the rest are unrated I assume that the unrated [unknown] are also good and want to display or queue them somehow. All "good" artists from the whole collection! The collection has 44.634 unrated tracks and I simply forgot many good stuff in the last three decades. I set up many auto playlists to dig through in different ways, and that would be a very time saving and rewarding one. Did I explain it better this time?

Sure! How is it possible to catch unrated albums from "good" artists? I do not get it.

What is the way to do this?



Album "Blood on ice" received a good album-rating, the others are unrated. Artist "Bathory" should get automatically the tag "good artist", so I don't miss the good stuff in my almost unrated music collection.
