MusicBee Wishlist / Tag management by drag-n-dropping into sidebar (change album genre)

« on: February 27, 2019, 08:38:33 PM »

It would be really handy if it were possible to drag n drop an album from the main panel into a category from the left sidebar. I wish to use it mainly to change quickly organize albums into genres (setting the file tags at the same time), but it just occurred to me while posting that the sidebar can group files in other different ways as well (not limited to genre only), hence the topic subject. I will leave the abstraction and specifics open for discussion. For me, just moving into genres would be enough but I think it would be possible to make this work for different kinds of tags as well!  

edit: This is my setup below, for reference. I would use this feature by dragging the album covers from the main panel, with the ability to highlight/move several at once too.

MusicBee Wishlist / Option for WYSIWYG play order instead of a weird internal ordering

« on: August 25, 2018, 07:55:34 PM »

Even today in 2018, MusicBee's play order system causes issues and is absolutely nonsensical in my opinion. Please, add an option to make it 'sane'. E.g. when a song ends, play the song that is directly after it visually. I don't want any weird internal numbering/ordering system. If I sort the list through one of the columns, then it should play whatever follows the current song according to this new ordering!! When I add multiple albums to the 'Now playing' playlist, it often jumps unexpectedly to the next album or the last song in the playlist for no reason, even though the # column is fully sequential. Please add an option to make it play whatever directly follows the current song, without any weird underlaying ordering, I shouldn't have to right click and select "Update playlist order". The apparent ordering of a playlist should be directly linked to its play order. If not, then at least having an option for this would be good since every music player in existence works in this manner, except for MusicBee. In other words, I want simple What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) ordering. It should play top to bottom just as it appears visually.

The play order system is really my only gripe with this software as it seems over-complicated and error prone. MusicBee is straight up the best music player I've ever used, but its ordering system continues to infuriate me to no end.

MusicBee Wishlist / Close to tray

« on: January 26, 2017, 05:18:58 PM »

Currently, this is only possible for minimize, but for my setup, I'd like to be able to set it like so:

• Minimize to mini-player
• Close to tray

Thanks
