Bug Reports / Tags edited externally not updating in MusicBee for files not in the library

« on: June 08, 2022, 12:33:17 AM »

I have a local folder that isn't in the library (it's a bunch of individual tracks, I'd rather just have full albums in the library and put those random tracks as a playlist outside the library), and I batch edited them with mp3tag. I checked that the files updated correctly but even after a restart the changes wouldn't appear. Couldn't find a way to clear the cache since the files aren't in the library. In the end the solution that worked was changing the folder name, then the changes in the tags appeared correctly.
Sorry if there's already way to clear that cache that I haven't seen, but the only way I saw is resetting the library, which doesn't work here since they aren't in the library.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: More options for auto DJ

« on: May 26, 2022, 11:14:27 PM »

You can create and use filters to accomplish this

I think that would work in case you only want one genre or one decade or only loved tracks, but not as "preferred". Not sure if there's a way to emulate that behavior somehow with filters (or some addon? Though I searched and couldn't find).

MusicBee Wishlist / More options for auto DJ

« on: May 26, 2022, 10:45:59 PM »

Currently auto DJ has these selection modes:

I think it would be neat if it could also have options like "same genre preferred" or "same decade preferred", or "loved tracks preferred" with a slider just like different/same artist. I don't use the rating system but do use the loved system, so I feel like it would be useful.
Thanks for all!

Questions / How to show the real tags in a file?

« on: May 16, 2022, 07:28:03 PM »

I have some files without proper title and artist tags, and would like to identify and fix them. However, MusicBee is automatically infering them from the filename, without actually setting those tags in the file itself. For example, this track is shown like this in MusicBee:



However, the file itself doesn't have those title and artist tags set:



Is there a way to disable that automatic title and artist inferring?

Skins / Changing the color of the "loved" incon

« on: May 14, 2022, 02:19:35 AM »

Hi, I was trying to edit one of the default themes and change the loved icon. I did another edit of a different element and it worked, so not sure what's the issue. It looks like this:

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="Gray (slim).xmlc">
 <element id="Panel.PlayerLastFmLove" fg="28,28,28"></element>
</root>

But I'm not sure what to use as ID, probably not that. I tried different things like id="PlayerLastFmLove", id="LastFmLove", id="Panel.LovedIcon"... But none seem to work. I tried searching in the forums but couldn't find a solution, does anyone know what's the issue? Thanks!

PS: This is the icon I mean



Edit: Okay figured it out. I thought the icon was hardcoded and you could change the color, but apparently it's an image in base64, so I got it to work like this:

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="Gray (slim).xmlc">
 <element id="LastFmLove">[BASE 64 OF THE ICON]</element>
</root>
