MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Button to open a file explorer window in the location of selected song(s)

Just point out and I'm sure you know, but you can use right-click > search > Locate in Windows Explorer before/after you edit the file(s). I'm not sure what purpose it would serve to do it while editing.

Not to make things even more confusing, but you can also create an auto-playlist of your preferred genre or if you wish all music with a rule of "playcount is 0".

You can then right-click on the playlist and select "Play Shuffled" when a track is played it's then removed from the playlist.

This is only for those who have no interest in play counts.

Tips and Tricks / Re: How to retrieve good quality genre tags using Picard

I'd have sworn blind I'd ticked it. You even explain about the semi-colons in that second post.

No, I'm not using Picard for my genres, I'm using RYM and inputting manually. I haven't got around to that release yet is all.

Just realised, I hadn't ticked the split mutli-tagged box. My fault.

Here, take a look. I will be adding genres to this as just Hardcore isn't correct but it shows the semi-colons. Not that it should make any difference but I didn't use a virtual tag, just pasted your code a track information field.

Hi Hiccup,

Regarding your update in post 2 for the virtual tag to display the genres, I've had bash at using it but it seems if there's only a single genre then a bunch of semi-colons are displayed. I'm assuming this isn't by design?

Try this, it states that it's for Windows 7, but it works fine in 8.1.

Questions / Re: MB plays music CD but rip says "No CD is loaded"

« on: January 11, 2023, 08:14:52 PM »

Hi Sparkles (something I never thought I would ever type!), the only time I've ever have any issue ripping from CD is when I start Musicbee before inserting a CD into the drive. In that case the rip window opens but no content displays... a restart of Musicbee sorts that.

Hi Bcsball,

You can create a highlight rule "Edit > Edit Preferences > Tags (2)" and click the highlighting: Define rules button, that states "Play Count is greater than 0", then just display a column showing the highlight.

Is it a music CD or a CD with a bunch of MP3s on it?

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Automatically resort genre tags automatically alphabetically

« on: November 07, 2022, 10:33:05 AM »

Wouldn't the Additional Tagging Tools be able to do this? I use the sort performers preset, I don't know how difficult it would be to create an additional preset for different tags.

I'll have a fiddle.

Hi Phred, sorry for the confusion. I was responding to the OP.

Strange, if I add artwork as explained in the previous post, I see the following... Isn't this what you're after?

No need for any work around.

The OP has an interesting way to add artwork and perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue. I do the same as Phred regarding adding art locally rather than downloading, right-click on the album in question and edit, then right-click choose picture in the artwork window. When the relevant file is selected, isn't the option the OP is after available?
