Questions / I would really like to switch to MusicBee, but have a few roadblocks.

« on: May 14, 2014, 03:22:27 AM »

I've tried MusicBee out for the last week or two and am generally extremely satisfied.

However I'm a control freak and over the last decade have established a religious workflow for my music, so I've encountered a few roadblocks which are preventing me from solely switching to iTunes. I'm hoping there are solutions to these that I overlooked!

1: Nested conditions in Auto Playlists
I have a detailed auto playlist organization system, and it relies on using lots of nested levels, ie:

But it looks like MB only supports a single layer deep in nested playlists, rather than many?

2: Syncing play counts from Android
This is a big one. Even with the "Sync Playcounts" option checked under Device, plays on Android (KitKat) aren't reflected on MB. Is there any way to achieve this? I listen to a lot of music on the go.

MusicBee Wishlist / Ability to move Track Information into top bar?

« on: April 25, 2014, 05:32:27 AM »

Hi, I'm new to MusicBee and am loving it. The customization options are great, and I'm really enjoying making my media player my own.

One thing I would kill for is the option to move the Track Details of the currently playing songs into the top bar when selecting "show track information" -> "show in player controls". A central top bar for interacting with the current track (eg play/pause, change rating, volume, etc) and displaying its information (artwork, fields, etc) would be very nice. I can make a screenshot if this description isn't clear enough.

... That I'm even making this request though shows how particular MusicBee lets me be, which is really cool and not something I'm taking for granted. Just wanted to throw in my two cents and hope for the best
