MusicBee Wishlist / Shuffle settings for individual playlists

« on: May 17, 2019, 06:37:29 AM »

Right now it's possible to change the shuffle settings of an Auto-Playlist within the settings of the playlist. This is great, since it allows some playlists to shuffle tracks by album, some playlists to shuffle individually, etc.

This would be a great feature to also extend to manually created playlists, as manually generated playlists currently simply use the player's shuffle settings.

Bug Reports / Error message when mouse leaves "files" area on screen

« on: April 30, 2019, 12:11:06 AM »

I'm getting an error when I try to move the mouse outside the central "files" area of the screen. Ending the process via the task manager and restarting the app fixed it, but it felt worth reporting.

MusicBee Wishlist / Asymmetric wavebars

« on: September 04, 2018, 08:19:54 PM »

I've noticed with some of my more noticeably stereo tracks that the wavebar is perfectly symmetrical. Would it be possible to add an option to make the wavebar asymmetric, or even to do it by default?

I realize this is a very minor change, but I think it would be a cool functionality to have!

For example, Sonic Visualizer does this:



As you can see, the two channels have different waveforms, and the wavebar at the very bottom places the right channel above the centerline and the left channel below it.

Questions / Remove the built-in tags from mood and occasion?

« on: July 26, 2018, 04:45:29 PM »

I was wondering is there was any way to remove the tag options that are already included by default for the mood and occation tags. There are several that I simply don't and won't ever use, and it would be less clutter if I could remove them via a settings change or something similar.

Thanks

Questions / Apply a virtual tag formula to multi-part tags?

« on: July 21, 2018, 08:08:54 AM »

Currently, I use a virtual tag formula to convert composers' names to [lastname, firstname] format for use in the column browser. However, I have a few tracks with multiple composers, and the formula I'm using stumbles on the multiple entries. How would I go about constructing a tag formula that can deal with multiple composers delimited by semicolons?

My current formula:

Code

ComposerLF = $IsNull(<Composer>,,$If($Contains(<Composer>," ")="F",<Composer>,$RSplit(<Composer>," ",1)", "$Replace(<Composer>*,$RSplit(<Composer>," ",1)*,)))

I've tried using ASR functions from Advanced Tagging Tools, but it made all the tracks in my music library disappear every time I tried to implement it.

MusicBee Wishlist / Option to display Artist/Album counts in the Column Browser.

« on: June 04, 2018, 07:37:47 PM »

Currently there is an option to display the number of tracks in each category of the column browser:



 I thought it might occasionally be more useful to see the number of albums associated with a given category. At that point, why not support also being able to select Artist/Album Artist

Eventually it might even make sense for the total time of each category to be an option, but that's probably getting into more difficult to implement territory.

Thanks a lot for your consideration!

Bug Reports / Vertical Tag Editor Exceptions

« on: April 07, 2018, 07:13:09 PM »

Tabbing between certain fields (mostly custom tags) in the vertical tag editor had been causing exceptions fairly regularly for me. In addition, the [...] list editiong button on the right side of multiple-value tags has caused errors in the past, including a crash. If I can replicate those, I'll add the logs to this thread.

I hope this helps!

MusicBee Wishlist / Support more than two arguments in $And() and $Or()

« on: March 05, 2018, 03:32:38 AM »

As of right now, $And() and $Or() only accept two arguments. Trying to insert more results in the output defaulting to the first argument. While nesting the functions does work, it's a bit buggy and very difficult to read. It would be great to be able to add as many arguments as you want to these two functions.

MusicBee Wishlist / Bring back "Shuffle by Grouping"

« on: February 28, 2018, 09:52:48 PM »

In the Musicbee 3.1 update, the "Shuffle by Grouping" option in the Musicbee shuffle settings was removed. The setting was useful to keep tracks with multiple "parts" together in shuffle, such as for multi-movement classical works or single long tracks that span multiple discs, as well as other uses that I'm sure other people have devised for it.

When I installed 3.1, the shuffle by grouping setting actually persisted and worked until I turned shuffle off and on again. This suggests that it's simply a flag that was removed, so hopefully it's not a chore to bring back!
