I don't think so. Music explorer needs some more customization for sure

Questions / Re: Artists fitlering Virtual Tag

« on: February 18, 2020, 11:39:30 PM »

If the Album Artist is blank, MB uses the Artist as the Album Artist. But that would not produce duplicates.

Can you provide an example of what you're doing that shows what you think are duplicates?

I figured out what I was trying to do. For example when using the option display playing song below album, on album view in the main panel, I had set the subtext under track titles to display <artists> however I noticed that the artist is displayed a subtext regardless, so my solution was to set the subtext to <Artists: Guest>. Now it only shows additional text under the title if there is an artist besides the original <artist> tag.

Questions / Artists fitlering Virtual Tag

« on: February 18, 2020, 09:47:02 PM »

The <artists> tag seem sto also include the album artist which causes duplicates. I'm looking for help with making a function that simply removes the album artist from the artists tag.

Virtual tag: <artists> minus <album artist>

TheaterMode / Re: Album Artist image

(Artist tag)

Artist 1 ft. Artist 2 - no image
Artist 1 - image

This would be alleviated if I could use album artist I feel

Artist image is the background

I was afraid that was the case. So the people who have made theater mode xmls have just gathered bits and pieces of code information across the forums? Theres no large refrences or guides? I feel I'm just going to annoy people with hundreds of questions if I attempt this

TheaterMode / Album Artist image

Can I use 'album artist' for tag so that instead o artists image it essentially becomes album artist image and only searches using the album artist?

Questions / What happened to Theater mode wiki?

« on: October 24, 2019, 05:23:32 PM »

When going to the wiki all I see is an asterisk * ? Am I missing something or has the article for theater mode been moved?

I'm new to coding theater mode and do not have any reference to whats going on besides the readme.

Questions / Thumbnail browser in Now Playing tab

« on: October 22, 2019, 08:24:19 PM »

I love using the thumbnail browser, however I also love the album "Large Album" view on Now Playing (because of the background color/blur effects)

Is there any way I can have both at the same time on a single tab?

OMG nevermind. I only searched on my Local C drive and found nothing. Searched on my media drive and found every single .lrc file. THANK YOU this has been bugging me so bad

Do a PC-wide search for *.lrc (extension for synched lyrics files)--find anything?  If so, that's your probable source;  if not, look at some of the files with an external tag editor like Mp3Tag--any embedded lyrics shown?

DO you have Minilyrics installed anywhere on your PC?

To be sure you're not confusing synched and unsynched lyrics, be sure to un-check both boxes under prefs/tags(2)/autotagging/lyrics.  Then even the built-in unsynched retrieval will be out of the picture.

Found nothing upon .lrc search. And I've never even heard of Minilyrics. Looks like I need to go the mp3tag route, thanks for the suggestions

Do you have Minilyrics saving your synchronized lyrics as files on your drive and MB reading those files using the minilyrics helper plugin?

No. This is so bizzare to me. I just bulk deleted all lyric fields from my whole library and they came right back instantly lmao. I'm so confused

Questions / Deleted lyrics keeps restoring?

« on: September 14, 2019, 11:02:50 PM »

I've tried everything. I can't delete any synchronized lyrics and the weird thing is even on brand new imported songs, they will randomly have synchronized lyrics embed even though I have that disabled in settings. When I attempt to delete lyrics, they simply return after I refresh, skip a song, or restart. I use Lyrics Reloaded, but that's the first thing I suspected and disabled even removed and the issues persists.

Latest update, UWP version

Update: Reinstall did not fix anything

Questions / Re: Display artist help

« on: August 30, 2019, 12:18:26 AM »

I believe the images in now playing actually use the artist values as found in the multiple artist splitter (which if you haven't tagged multiple artists may match the display artist).

Seems I was probably wrong again lol. Thanks

Questions / Display artist help

« on: August 29, 2019, 10:41:35 PM »

Hi. I finally realized display artist is used for the artist picture under Now Playing. So my next goal is to make a script or something to simply make all my display artists function as album artists. Like some kind of script to change the display artist for every song to the existing album artist value. Thanks for any help

Questions / Re: Multiple Virtual tag functions

« on: August 15, 2019, 04:05:30 PM »

If you only want to remove the text at the end you could also use a Regular Expression:

Code

$RxReplace(<Title>," \([feat|explicit|bonus|remastered].*\)","")

Just add each of the words you want to remove between the square brackets, separated with a pipe character.
This should be easier to follow than all those nested Split functions and also has the advantage of being case-insensitive.

I will definitely use this for my titles virtual tags and use the nested functions mentioned for other more specific sorting
