Questions / Best way to create file with list of Album/tracks

« on: September 23, 2021, 10:07:59 AM »

Hi, can anyone give me some kind hints on how to create a file with a list of the music in the database organized by album/tracks (including album cover) in an efficient way?
I have fiddled with this a few times, but failed to find a reasonable solution, also because the list creation for a large number of albums (say in the thousands) required biblical times, and I had to give up.... Also, what would be the possible/best formats for this? HTML? others?
Thanks a lot

MusicBee Wishlist / Musicbee stops playing when windows 10 turns off screen for energy saving

« on: May 14, 2016, 09:41:19 AM »

I have an HP detachable notebook with windows 10. Energy saving settings make the screen turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity when you're running on batteries. Unfortunately, if musicbee is playing at that time, it stops together with the screen, and resumes only when the user revives the screen with some activity.

While of course you could fully disable the energy saving feature to avoid the problem, this is actually counterproductive: if you want to play music for a long time when running on batteries, what you need is exactly to turn off the screen and use energy only for playback!

I could not find an option to avoid this problem in musicbee settings; nor did I find any hint to help looking in the forums or anywhere else on the web.

Notice that win10 own music app, the so called "Music groove", does NOT have this problem: in the same situation described above music will go on playing without interruptions.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / Some simple functions in convert file command that seem urgent to me

« on: February 02, 2011, 01:56:57 PM »

Hi, i have been using Musicbee for a few days after having read about it on the web.

For a huge collection like mine (72.927 tracks right now) speed is GOOD, updating the library is much faster than other apps 

However I often have the necessity to convert tracks between formats or between different mp3 bitrates. From this point of view a few option would be invaluable... at present the functionality is awkward to use efficiently:

- an option to save the converted tracks in the same folder as the originals, without having to specify it manually (this is impossible to do when applying a conversion command to multiple file in multiple folders). This could be implemented also through the empty folder destination field (i.e., put converted files in the same as originals when the folder destination field is empty)

- an option to delete the original automatically file after successful conversion.

With these two simple option multiple conversion would become easy.

If I simply failed to see such option while they're already available, please let me know and forgive me...

Huge thank for the attention!
