Questions / Re: Virtual tag with month only

« on: May 16, 2020, 06:41:27 PM »

up! anyone?

Please show a little patience before bumping your thread. Especially something was posted a little more than twenty-four hours ago. Everyone posting here is a user. Some just starting to use MB and others who have been around for years. We all try to help each other WHEN and IF we can. There is no one monitoring the forum 24/7. Sometimes questions don't get answered because no one has seen your post yet. Sometimes no one has the answer. If you don't see a reply after three or four days, then you should bump it. But not with only twenty-four hours passed.

Gotcha. Although I have to say the post was getting buried, and it wasn't "only twenty-four hours" (since we're counting, it was 53 hours to be precise...)

Ah, ok, so instead of the dash I have slash symbol.


So I replaced the dash in the formula you wrote above. It works, thanks!
- I do the main grouping by "Date added (album)" as usual
- Then I sub-group by Virtual1 tag.

Would it also be possible to do the main grouping using the the virtual tag? And then perhaps have it be sth like yyyy/mm (or mm/yyyy) instead of just mm.
Thanks a bunch!

Also, sth funny happens which is independent of the virtual tag which I haven't noticed before: if I do the main grouping by date added, and it generates the automatic groups of "last 7 days", "last month", etc., then when I arrive at the "last year", there are quite a few albums which actually belong to this year but still get grouped under last year main heading. See for instance here:


the album Nimbus was added Feb 5, however, it gets grouped under last year. Nevertheless, it still receives the 02 [February] for the sub-grouping... Strange!


edit: apparently, albums added this year appear fine, but once last year starts the sub-grouping doesn't work that well. See e.g. here


This happens multiple times...

Thank you! I tried the simpler code but when I try to group by the tag, it doesn't group in any way, just makes an "unknown" heading at the top. of the cover view...

This is how I set up the virtual tag which then I tried to use for the grouping:


Did I do something wrong?

Questions / Virtual tag with month only

« on: May 09, 2020, 10:56:16 AM »

Hi there,
I sometimes like to sort my library by the date added field. So far so good. However, I would like to use to "group by" function, with only the month of the date added field (or, alternatively, group by yyyy/mm, which is pretty much the same...).
I understand that I can use virtual tags for this purpose but I'm quite new to these and haven't managed to create the right function command for this.
Could anyone help me out? Probably quite easy if you know what you're doing...

Thanks for your response. Is there also a way do do this with multiple albums simultaneously? Because I would like to extract cover art for about 200 albums...

Questions / Extracting album art into jpg/png from mp3 file

So I would like to extract the album art of certain albums I have in my Musicbee library, but I haven't found an option so far that would allow me to do so. Is there a way to do this somehow? Would be great.
