Questions / Play Next song in list after deleting currently playing song

« on: January 16, 2024, 03:29:28 AM »

I'm not sure if I accidentally changed a setting, but I used to be able to pull up a folder of music and quickly go through the songs figuring out if I wanted to keep them or not. I used to sort the list by artist and then go just down the list one by one. I would then delete any I didn't want while it was playing, and it used to go straight to the next song and start playing that song. For some reason, it now jumps around the folder and I can't make sense of it. I checked to see if I had shuffle on, and I do not.

Plugins / Re: QuickTagger v1.0.1 (BETA) - Quickly tag your musics using hotkeys!

Did anything ever come of this request?  Would it be possible to have (the option of) a tag value added to existing values instead of replacing any already present values?

General Discussions / Backing up my MusicBee database

« on: February 15, 2023, 03:23:29 PM »

After experiencing a hard drive failure last month I was forced to start my Music Bee database from scratch.  I have all my music saved on dropbox so i didn't lose any files but I did lose all my tags.  That being said I want to make sure I am making backups of my database file regularly.  Is there something built in to music bee to do this?  Can you set it to automatically backup every so many days?

General Discussions / Re-installing windows - what should I back up?

« on: July 11, 2022, 05:25:32 PM »

I'm looking to do a fresh install of windows but want to make sure when I install Music Bee I am able to copy over my existing customizations so it looks and performs the way I have it now.

What files should I be backing up?

Questions / Auto-playlist export

« on: December 07, 2021, 10:01:29 PM »

Do you have to exit out of the program in order for the auto-update of the playlists to export?  I have my playlists going to a folder i have set up on Dropbox synced to another computer.  It only seems to update when I close the program.  I'm wondering if there's a way to increase the frequency of it updating without having to close the program.  I will sometimes set up a playlist on my desktop that I want to sync to my laptop but I forget to close the program and the updates never make it to the laptop.

Questions / Setting default displayed fields

« on: December 07, 2021, 09:57:58 PM »

Is there a way to set the default displayed fields?  Right now I have multiple playlists and when I click on them, they each have different fields displayed.  I would like to set it so they are all uniform without me having to go into each one and customize it.

Is there a way to make a smart list of all tracks that have the bomb icon?  I see you can filter by stars 1-5 but nothing for the bomb.

Questions / Re: Display "Initial Key" Tag

« on: March 11, 2021, 12:05:36 PM »

Hmmm so how do you set it up so it's displayed as a custom tag?  I went into settings and see Custom Tags under the Tags (1) section.  Do I simply choose custom tag 1 and rename it Initail Key and then in the drop-down choose Initail Key under SAVE TO MUSIC FILE AS TAG?

From the sounds of it that is going to write to the file when I instead want to just read the Initial Key from the file and display it in my music Library.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
