Hey guys,

I'm having two issues. I'm not sure if they're related, but here goes...

Issue #1: Genius is first on my settings list. Sometimes when I get lyrics retrieved from Genius, either in the middle or at the end of the lyrics an extra line will be included that says "You may also like" / "You might also like". I have songs with both wordings. Sometimes I'll also see "See (input artist name) Live Get tickets as low as $76" If you Genius search those songs on desktop/laptop, you'll see that it's part of Genius' promo system. But you won't see them if you search using the Genius app or a mobile browser. As for the lyrics panel, a quick right click shows "Lyrics Source: GENIUS".

Could you remove these promo system lines from results?

P.s. This phenomenon also happens when the plugin is disabled, and MusicBee's native retrieval source Chartlyrics, is active. Right click still shows "Lyrics Source: GENIUS". It's odd, but I can only assume Chartlyrics gets it's results from Genius.

Issue #2: With the plugin enabled, lyrics panel open, and a song with no lyrics is played, results are not auto-retrieved from the plugin. Lyrics appear, but I can only assume they are retrieved from somewhere else. Maybe MusicBee's native retrieval source? I have to right click > Delete Lyrics and Redo Search, to get the plugin to kick in.

I have tested this by activating lyrics source at the bottom, and looking at the log. When lyrics are auto-retrieved from the playing track, the first results don't show the source at the bottom. Also, the log doesn't have an entry for that moment in time.  If I right click > Delete Lyrics and Redo Search, the next results will show source at the bottom and there will be a log entry.

If I disable the plugin, MusicBee's native Tag(2) lyrics retrieval setting is to get it from Chartlyrics. When I run the test again from blank lyrics, it gives me the same lyric result from when I first played the song and the plugin was active, above.

How can I get the enabled plugin to pull results from the moment I play a song?


A little about my setup:
Windows 10 Laptop
MusicBee version 3.5.8297. Installed with installer.
Plugin version 1.2.0.4
MB and Plugin updated yesterday, and all issues retested before posting.

I hope I explained everything precisely. But if you need screenshots, I can provide them.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, new possibilities!
Thanks, man. I'll get on it.

Hey guys,

Someone did a comparison of the accuracy of Key Detection software and I thought it should be a part of the forum. It's not mine, but they did post it on the internet so... I'm just gonna leave this here.

Hope you guys find it interesting. I did :)

MusicBee seems to replace the path's backslashes with a space.
I just remembered that in MusicBee, we can set the desired replacement values for illegal filename characters in Tools > Organise Files > Filename Char Mapping.
By default, the backslash is set to be replaced with an empty space.
But for the purpose of what you're trying to achieve here, you'll need the backslash (\) replaced with something like an equal sign (=) instead.

You only have to do this once. Then going forward, the below template will now produce a target filename beginning with the "Music" parent folder.
If you don't mind the workaround, I think this should work just like "preserve folders and filenames" would have worked.
Code
$Replace($RxReplace(<Path>,".*?(Music.*)","$1"),=,\)<Filename>

My man! To the rescue  again.

I just tried this and it worked perfectly.
Thank you, Mayibongwe.

I didn't know you could input script here. I've been thinking of diving into learning code. Which language is this?

Also, is this possible for the playlist file path?
I keep the libraries' playlists separate too, but when I plugged your code into the playlist file path, the copy failed.

Just finished checking the Paths Displayed Field. I have a lot of Playlists 😅
Unfortunately, they don't.

I also plugged in today's patch from here (https://getmusicbee.com/patches/), just to see if it'll knock those settings straight. No change.

Would you be able to split the Sync Settings so that they're dependant on which library you're syncing from? Or even just Media Storage and Playlist Storage (if that's less work).
That way I'd be able to force-in the extra \Music\ folder where needed.

Hey Steven,

Thanks for replying so quickly!
It's too bad about Preserve folders. But thanks for clarifying.
I try to keep my files within the folder tree. Unless something's under review in the Inbox folder. Here's a shot of my folder tree.


I just looked up Auto Organize and in the preferences it's unchecked. I don't remember having used it before. But to be sure, I set Path as a Displayed Field and they point to within the screenshot folder tree. Not sure if I should be happy about that or not. Haha

Within my Spotify Library I was experimenting with using more child-folders under the \Songs\ parent-folder. So, where my Main Library looks like C:\Users\[name]\Music\Main Library\Songs\[music files]. My Spotify Library is broken up into seperate folders holding the music files. Like C:\Users\[name]\Music\Spotify Library\Songs\Luquicity Label\[music files]. Could this extra complication or folder-set be causing Sync to misbehave?

Hey there,

Are you verifying that the playlists are missing through the music player, or file explorer?

New version 2.0.19 - LikeADJ disable MusicBee's random mode before starting LikeADJ because the library is already shuffled when we click on 'Play Library Shuffled' or 'Play Shuffled' or 'Start LikeADJ' + various little improvements.

I think it was the problem of Astro Gaze (I'm waiting feedback from Astro Gaze).

The download link of the newest DLL is on the first post of this thread.


Thank you DJC👽D!

I've been thoroughly enjoying your plugin for the past week and a half :D

Portable Devices / Need Help with Strange Difference Syncing 2 Libraries
« on: August 29, 2022, 04:52:11 AM »
Hey guys,

I'm having a mysterious issue trying to sync 2 different libraries. I'd appreciate some help.

As I stated above, I use 2 libraries which live in my Default Music Folder
- C:\Users\[name]\Music\Main Library\Songs\...
- C:\Users\[name]\Music\Spotify Library\Songs\...

Currently I'm trying to sync them to the same device. But in Sync Settings, the "Media storage path" for "Music Files" treats the path in one of my libraries different from the other. Even though they're in the same \Music\ parent folder on my computer. Also, it's set to "Preserve folders and filenames". To my understanding, this should prevent the deviation I'm experiencing.

Issue:
- In my Main Library's Sync Window, when I hit Sync Preview the Target Filename is "Music\Main Library\..." This is what I want.

- But when I Switch to my Spotify Library's Sync Window and I hit Sync Preview, the Target Filename is "Spotify Library\...". The \Music\ parent folder is disregarded.

- In both Sync's, Music files is set to "*".


I Sync'ed both libraries in the current setup and checked the device to confirm. Yes, one library is in the Music folder, and the other is outside it.

1. Why is there a discrepancy for the same setting?  
2. I feel like this could be caused by an internal temporary cache error. Is there a way to clear App Cache on Windows 10, like in an Android's App Settings?
- I found C:\Users\aryan\AppData\Local\MusicBee\InternalCache. But that doesn't affect settings.

MusicBee: Installer
MusicBee Version: 3.5 Patched 2
OS: Windows 10
Syncing to: Android 10

Thanks for reading.

Bug Reports / Re: Custom Sorting Priority Issue
« on: August 16, 2022, 11:51:20 PM »
I'm not sure what you mean by valid year, but yes they are only 4 digits. Ex. 1954

I'm already running v3.5 Patch 2, as per your reply on my LikeADJ question. To solve that issue I did a clean install of MusicBee Installer, then updated to 3.5.

Is there anything else I can try? Maybe a log file I can send?

Next, I tested Initial Key (Long Open Key Notation) and BPM individually. Then again on MusicBee Portable, for a total of 4 Test Runs. I turned shuffle on and picked the first song, then let the plugin take over for a total of 10 songs. In all 4 tests, according to the log, I ran into the same problem: Predicted next song was not the chosen next song.

1. When testing BPM: it almost never stayed within the Max BPM Difference. The couple times it did were a coincidence.
2. When testing Initial Key: it almost never stayed in Key. The couple times it did were a coincidence.
3. Found Bug: If you get the Looping pop up, but start playing a new song, before pressing "ok", the new song plays over top the currently playing track, without pausing the first track.
Suggestion: Make Pop Up "always on top". Don't allow MusicBee to be accessed until "ok" is pressed.

I saved the logs if you want them.

First off, if anyone searches this up later... When I tested the plugin on MusicBee Portable, there was no Initialize issue.
Back at my Installer version, it was solved by doing a clean install. Make sure to backup your library first!

Thanks to phred, DJC👽D, and Steven for your help!

In the new version 2.0.18, I have added LONG Open Key notation (Openkey/Traditional under Mixxx).
I use only Camelot (Lancelot under Mixxx  :) ) or SHORT Open Key (Openkey under Mixxx) notations, so I have no way to test.
But everything should be ok.
The download link of the newest DLL is on the first post of this thread.

Sweet! Thanks for implementing this so quickly, DJC👽D.
I'll get to testing, right away.

Hey Mayibongwe, I know I'm late to the game but, I just wanted to say thanks for taking over this project.
I'm excited to see how it changes under your care.

Thanks for all your hard work, frankz!

Your efforts saved me countless hours of manual searching and copying. Before MusicBee, I was an iTunes user of over 15 years. There, all tagging is manual and I could only dream of lyrics magically appearing in my songs. Adding lyrics was a priority of mine, but I still had a giant backlog I couldn't catch up to on my own. Once I hopped on MusicBee, this was the first plugin I tried, and boy was it fruitful!

Long before I signed up, I was always in awe of how you and the community kept this plugin alive. Given your lack of programming background and blatant honesty, somehow you made it work. For years!
You're a real hero in my eyes.

So to You, and the community members who supported you,
Thank you all,
From the bottom of my heart.
