Questions / How to easily change the order of the embedded artwork in an mp3 file.

« on: January 03, 2023, 03:30:55 AM »

I embed multiple artworks in my mp3 files. (one is the album cover front, one is the album cover back, etc).  In the MB file for a song, you get there via “Edit”, then “Artwork”  That artwork page in MB for each song is a Visual List of the artworks that are embedded AND their order. Let’s call them A1, A2, A3, A4. A5 and A6.  (For this example I just picked a quantity of 6.)

QUESTION: How can I easily move the Artwork currently in the #6 position to the #3 position on the list”?

Right now I know how to move any artwork directly to the #1 position (by checking the “Primary position” box), and I can move any artwork to the Last position by just copying it and pasting it at the bottom of the list.
But you can’t Insert an artwork for example between position 2 and 3, or 3 and 4, or 4 and 5, etc..

If I want to move any artwork to positions 2 through 5, the only way I know is to move the desired artwork to position 1 or 6, then repeatedly make more moves to other artworks to take them out of the way so the artwork I want in position 3 drops down or moves up in the List.  That can be many steps.  Is there any easier way?

I imagine being able to do it via some kind of drag and drop function, but will take any suggestions or method that anyone uses.

Questions / how to move multiple album arts from one mp3 file to another

« on: December 31, 2022, 05:09:32 PM »

I embed multiple pictures into each song (mp3) in each album.  Sometimes later i copy a song into audacity to clean it from clicks or flaws, then copy the results back into musicbee.  The result is a new almost identical mp3 but without the pictures since audacity doesn't acknowledge artwork.
How can I quickly copy the missing pictures from the original mp3 to the new mp3?
Yes, I know I can manually copy and paste them one by one (and have been for years), but I'm looking for an easier, faster way to do them all at once.  Is there any way or any suggestion?

-- One idea i had was to change each artwork's storage location in the original mp3 (in the artworks tab -when you "Edit" a file), from Embed to both Embed and Link, then retrieve each artwork from the suggested file "folder.jpg" or "Cover.jpg" into the new mp3.  However, I can't test doing that because I can't find those folders "folder.jpg" or "Cover.jpg".  Where are they located on my PC?  Do I have to create them?  If so, where should I put them so musicbee can find them?  (another potential misunderstanding or bug: in the artworks tab (when you "Edit" a file) the choice "Cover.jpg" is shown inside a box in a light gray color, which I assume means you can change what's inside the box to be another address.  However, I can't change what's inside that box, so what's the point of it?

Many thanks for looking this over and suggesting.

Questions / how to get comments to scroll across bottom of screen when playing a song?

« on: September 09, 2020, 04:02:12 AM »

Hi, long ago I was able to get the song's "comments" to scroll across the bottom of the screen when the song was playing. Is that still possible?  How do I enable that?  (right now it just shows the artist and title and the song's time length).  (sorry, I've searched and tried but can't seem to get that function set up right.)  Thanks...

Questions / How to adjust the volume of all songs in an album to be the same volume?

« on: September 09, 2020, 03:34:35 AM »

Hi, Can anyone go through the exact steps to adjust the volumes of all songs in an album to be the same ( or similar) volume level?  This is especially needed if I make an "album" that is a collection of songs sourced from various other CDs.  Also I'd like this to be permanent (that is: I do it once and it stays that way permanently with no further action required).

« on: September 09, 2020, 03:29:35 AM »

Hi, Sometimes I have several artworks for one song.  I would like to then copy all of those artworks to another song.  Is it possible to copy all of them at once?  (The only way I've been able to do it is one-by-one, but that takes a long time...)

Hi, sometimes artwork or tags just disappear randomly.  Sometimes when I change (modify) tags, later the tag has returned back to the original pre-modification tag.  sometimes there is a flashing red exclamation point in the tags box.   What I can I do to lock in the tags and artwork and prevent this problem?

I'm using rev 3.0 with rev 3.1 patches, on Windows 7, attempting to open a radio stream.  Sometimes it opens, many times it fails to open and gives this error:  unable to open stream (error=BASS_ERROR_UNKOWN).   How can we fix this?
