Questions / Where is the "primary picture" metadata stored - in the file or in the database?

« on: October 13, 2024, 03:34:58 PM »

Hi,

I have some tracks that already have artwork embedded in them, and what I'd like to is to select a new primary picture using a .jpg stored in the album folder but without changing the files themselves.

If I add a 2nd image (for example, a higher resolution album cover), and then change which image is selected as "primary picture", is that metadata written to the music file or is it stored in the MusicBee database? Thanks in advance!

Questions / Navigation tab behavior: "Music" doesn't refresh and can't remove Inbox

« on: May 06, 2024, 03:23:07 PM »

Hi all - two questions:

1) If I'm viewing content inside a folder (bottom left) and then I click on the main "Music" navigation tab (upper left), nothing changes in the main view in the middle until I click on another navigation tab or playlist and then click back to "Music" - then it refreshes. All the other navigation tabs and playlists behave as I'd expect - you click on them from anywhere and the main panel refreshes to show the new view - it's just the "Music" tab that doesn't do this.

2) I've removed "Inbox" from Layout preferences but it's still there, even after restarting MusicBee:

Thank you in advance!

Questions / Combining ANDs & ORs in a single auto-playlist

« on: February 22, 2021, 06:32:52 PM »

I'm trying to create a playlist that surfaces records I'm not as familiar with, and these are the criteria I want:

Year > 2010
OR
Year <2000 (because I have way too much music that was published between 2000 and 2010)

AND
Not Beatles (because I have way too much Beatles) 🙂

A regular auto-playlist doesn't seem to allow ANDs and ORs, and while I can create two playlists I don't see how to use the playlist mixer to create an intersection set rather than a superset of those two playlists. I've searched this forum but wasn't able to find an answer.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!
