Questions / Deleting "first" artist picture
« on: June 23, 2017, 07:40:34 PM »
I have a minor problem with the "Now Playing" window

The background is set to retrieve web pictures and starts a rotation.

I have a large collection of the band "Sparks" but the first image that always shows is the singer "Jordin Sparks". When the image rotates to the second image I then get the chance to "Ban Picture" but all subsequent images appear to be correct.

How to I "Ban Picture" the first image?

Questions / Row height

Is it possible to change the row height in the main window without changing font size?

Questions / Getting rid of wrong picture
« on: September 18, 2016, 03:25:01 PM »
Can you prevent a picture being displayed in the Now Playing window?

I like the band Sparks but every time one their records comes on the first picture shown is of Jordin Sparks.

Every subsequent picture is of the proper Sparks and for those I get the option to Ban Picture but not on the first incorrect one.

It is not the Artist Picture as the thumbnail browser shows the correct Sparks

Bug Reports / [Fixed] Rating error on side bar
« on: September 18, 2016, 01:08:40 AM »
I have set the right side bar up to show various information one of which is track rating.

If the track has no rating it shows the 5 stars as greyed out as expected.

If I then rate it the correct rating shows in the main window, also in the edit properties of the song but the right side bar shows the "bomb" symbol regardless of the rating I give it

Bug Reports / Now playing background update
« on: June 19, 2016, 11:12:57 PM »
Not really a bug I guess, more an observation

When playing tracks from a Playlist and selecting Stop after Current on the playing controls I have noticed that, at the end of the playing track, in the Now Playing window the next track will be highlighted, the Track Information window will display the next track and the Album artwork will display the next track but the background picture shows the previous artist.

Not a major problem but thought I'd mention it

Questions / Understanding lyrics
« on: June 13, 2016, 03:53:28 PM »
I have a track where the displayed lyrics are wrong

Going to Edit and looking at the Lyrics tab for that song it is empty so I presume lyrics are coming from an external source.

If I put my own lyrics in the tab will it overide the downloaded version or not?

Questions / Simple Top 100 - not working?
« on: June 11, 2016, 02:16:52 PM »
I have a simple playlist that in theory just gives me a Top 100 most played

The filter on it just says Play Count - has a value ( I've also tried Play Count - is greater than 0)

Limit to 100 items - selected by most often played

I then have my main window Sorted as Play Count - Rating - Last Played

I hoped this would work but some highly rated songs are not making this list even when having the same plays as low rated songs and played more recently.

I guess this is down to the original rule which takes no account of rating or last play time so sorting the window after this makes no difference.

So how do I get the filter to pick the Most Often Played and Highest Rated out of those but still limit the number to 100?

Bug Reports / SOLVED - Auto Playlist no longer updating "live"
« on: June 10, 2016, 05:41:40 AM »
I have a playlist that picked up songs that had "errors" in which I mean hadn't been rated, had no year or had a rating and no play count. It was just a way of tidying up songs that where played randomly and I could go back and correct them.

Now before updating to the latest version I am sure as I went through this list the files would remove themselves immediately once i had corrected the error, it now seems they only remove themselves once I leave the playlist and then return. This behaviour also seems to effect my "Recently Played" playlist which use to add tracks live as they finished but now will only update after leaving the list and returning.

Is there an option I'm missing somewhere?

Bug Reports / SOLVED - Show "Number of Albums" or "Number of Tracks"
« on: June 08, 2016, 08:44:52 PM »
Apologies for yet another query

I have my "left main panel" set as thumbnail browser.

Below the artist it usually says # Albums then it sometimes for no reason I can see changes to # Tracks

On a couple of occasions it appears to have got confused and given me, for example "1009 Albums", for an artist when it should be "1009 tracks".

It appears to change when switching between screens but I've not managed to find the exact combination that causes it on a consistant basis.

I cannot find any setting to change this?

Questions / Auto Playlist updating, or did I imagine it

Did I imagine the previous behaviour, is it a setting I'm missing or has the behaviour changed with the latest version?

Questions / Not importing all files!
« on: June 06, 2016, 08:40:23 PM »
I have just updated to latest version and thought all was well but have noticed many tracks missing in the library.

The files are on the drive and I can add them manually but a rescan does not pick them up.

If I make a playlist to show all songs and set "music track source" to library tracks are missing

If I make a playlist to show all songs and set "music track source" to folders all my tracks are there

How can I get MusicBee to add all tracks to library. I have tried a rescan many times and it says no files to add

When clicking on Music Explorer the tabs "Album & Stats" and "Similar Artists" works fine.

Clicking on "More Albums" gives me the error..

Questions / Auto-Playlist of top rated albums
« on: March 01, 2015, 11:03:53 PM »
I have set up a few playlists and all have worked how I intended until I tried one for albums.

The album rating is being calculated by the average of individual songs, I set a minimum number of tracks so singles and EPs would not be picked up.

The list is meant to be limited to 40 albums which it is doing but is doing it alphabetically not by rating! What I'm getting is artists from A-S, some albums rated 3 stars but I have an artist with the letter T rated 4.5  stars that is missed.

If I take out the minumum rating rule it covers the entire A-Z but still misses the artist I want

If I take out the 40 limit the letter T is listed but I want a limit to numbers



Sorry trouble getting a screenshot to work

Questions / Play count between dates? (Newbie alert)
« on: March 01, 2015, 10:41:14 AM »
Being ever so slighlty OCD what I'd like to do is have an Auto-Playlist that would list top played songs over a set period of time.

It seems easy to set one up for total plays but not for a time period, guess this is due to play count being a fixed figure and not usage data as such
