Questions / Displaying artist under track in expanded panel?

« on: January 26, 2019, 02:33:23 PM »

I was doing this before but I'm now having issues. I'm not sure if the latest update caused it or if I accidentally messed something up. I tried downgrading to the MusicBee version I was previously using but the problem remains.

This is how my expanded panel looks at the moment:



I would like to have the artists listed below the track. Going into the expanded panel settings and selecting artist like this works:



This is what I want except for the fact that I now have duplicate track artists:



The final picture is how it was previously, excluding the dupe artists so I'm not sure what's going on. <.<

Hope someone has an idea about this, thank you!

Questions / How to move music to new drive but keep play count, etc?

« on: June 03, 2018, 10:49:03 AM »

I currently have all my music sorted by artist in the Windows 'Music' folder. I have connected a new drive, D:, which I want to use exclusively for my music.

I'll be keeping folder structure exactly the same, I basically just want to cut and paste all my albums to D: and have Musicbee recognize them and keep the play counts / skip counts. Will "Relink Music File Paths" do this or is there another recommended way?

MusicBee Wishlist / Hide artist(s) from Thumbnail Browser

« on: March 14, 2018, 05:12:39 PM »

I'm not sure if something like this is possible or already exists (using custom tags perhaps?), but I think it would be super helpful, especially for larger libraries.

As my library has grown my thumbnail browser has acquired a lot of artists who I don't listen to but have worked on a collaborations with artists I do.

So I end up with Artist A (10 albums) in addition to Artist B (1 album) appearing in the browser, whereas I only really need Artist A visible.

If it were possible to right click on a name and click 'hide' it would be great. An 'artist blacklist' option could be under the Thumbnail Browser header in order to remove them from hidden.

Questions / Editing play counts for multiple tracks at a time?

« on: May 14, 2017, 07:55:09 AM »

Is there any way to add play counts for multiple songs at once? I can do it manually, one by one, but I don't think I'll live long enough. The play counts I want to add are just guesses in my head, so I've got nothing I can import.

I just want to select a bunch of albums that I know I've listen to once or twice and add the numbers in, rather than doing it track by track.

Is there something I'm missing or is this not possible?

Questions / Don't save ENCODER tag when editing tags?

« on: March 03, 2017, 09:22:39 AM »

Is it possible to disable Musicbee writing the ENCODER tag when editing tags?

It's not a major issue but it's a mildy irritating one. I'm often editing the play counts of my songs and every time I do it adds the tag back.

Edit: Regarding play counts -- is it possible to edit playcounts of multiple tracks all at once?

Questions / Displaying full range of track years in album covers view

« on: February 02, 2017, 01:27:06 PM »

Sorry if the title is a little confusing, wasn't how to best word it. Some of my albums have multi-year tracks, a few released in 2014, some in 2015 and so on (they are all tagged correctly).

At the moment in the album covers view I can display only the earliest year (2014 in this case). Is it at all possible to display all the years?

So rather than...

Artist
Album
2014

It would be...

Artist
Album
2014-2017

Thanks for the help.

Questions / Is an album view like this possible?

« on: August 16, 2016, 06:48:54 PM »

I've been using MusicBee for about a year now, it's by far the best player I've used so thank you developer(s).

Basically what I've got in mind is a mix between the 'Album and Tracks" view and the 'Album Covers' view (which is what I currently use). It's easier to show than to try and describe it so I made a quick mock-up: https://i.imgur.com/rWBfbJw.png

Clicking the album would bring up the expanded view with the tracks. Is a view like this possible at the moment?

Many thanks.
