Questions / Can I hide track artists in iTunes compilations?

« on: April 28, 2020, 03:16:25 PM »

Hello,

I played a bit with virtual tags to primarily transcribe song titles with foreign writing systems. It also shows the play count and always the latin-written artist. This virtual tag is shown beneath each title in cover view.
However, albums that are marked as iTunes compilations always show "artist; virtualtag" beneath the songs. I haven't found a way to get rid of that yet and I don't want to re-tag all compilations to "Various Artists" as album artist.

Have an example:
Correctly transcribed artist/title with playcount on a standard album:


Compilation with "artist;<virtual tag>":

Questions / Help for creating an Auto Playlist which depends on History

« on: January 16, 2018, 05:43:55 PM »

Hello,

I'd like to create an auto playlist which lists my most-listened songs of recent X days - like chart list.
The good thing with MusicBee is that it already tracks each play with a timestamp and not just the the last listened time. Can I somehow create such a playlist? Maybe with a custom-defined variable?

Thank you!

Bug Reports / After relocating library: Ratings vanished and playlist folder not deletable

« on: December 24, 2016, 10:08:49 AM »

Hello!

Well, I've got a problem (duh).
I recently moved my data drive letter from E:\ to D:\. I relocated the library in MusicBee, everything gets found, no problem so far.
As you read in the headline, however, I run into two problems:
All song ratings are vanished. This is pretty bad for me because I have auto playlists which need the info and I have to re-rate each single song (currently above 4,232 songs) again.

My next problem: I divide my music in "Purchased" and "Free" (such as free downloads from Soundcloud). The "Purchased" playlist is a playlist folder which contains several playlists which are divided in CDs, digital downloads, Bandcamp, iTunes, albums, singles and so on.
The playlist folder usually shows a merged list of all playlists it contains. After relocating the playlists still exist but the playlist folder is empty.
I just created a new folder and moved my playlists there. But I can't delete the old playlist folder. A message apperas which tells me the select folder doesn't contain files and can't be removed. The folder looks empty and doesn't contain any playlists anymore.
