Questions / how to handle boxsets

« on: November 06, 2017, 11:47:51 PM »

I have various box sets which have a boxset title and have individual album titles in the set. I want to display the album cover of the boxset, and when I click on the cover it opens up the individual albums.
For example, I have an ABBA boxset called "The Albums" included are the studio ablums with their individual covers. I also have an ABBA Greatest Hits album.
If I select ABBA I want to see the album covers of the GH album and the boxset cover for "The Albums. Then when I click on the "The Albums" cover it displays the individual covers and the tracks for the individual albums.
Can anyne explain how I can do this.
Thank you.

Questions / FLAC tage not recognised

« on: October 26, 2017, 04:57:51 PM »

Added various file types to MusicBee, and have a few issues with sort display.

1) All CDs originally ripped to FLAC by dbpoweramp and tags maintained in FOOBAR2000 (including user created tags). When the albums are added to MusicBee the tag ALBUM ARTIST SORT is not recognised. So I am unable to sort by Surname, Firstname.
When I convert the same files to MP3, MusicBee seems to associate ALBUM ARTIST SORT with Sort Album Artist. All original purchased MP3s or AACs sort correctly.

2) I want to have one Library, but filter out file types e.g. MP3, AAC, FLAC 16-bit, FLAC 24-bit. For example, in FOOBAR2000 I have a user created tag called 24-Bit value Y which is used to filter and show only 24-Bit FLAC
is there a way to filter by File Type.

3) Finally, can I set up my custom tags in MusicBee

Thank you
