Questions / Want to edit only Artist field, Album Artist changes too

« on: January 27, 2019, 01:55:56 AM »

I'm trying to edit the Artist tag for a group of files. The contents of the Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane' and the contents of the Album Artist tag is currently 'Miles Davis & John Coltrane'.

I select a group of files and press shift-enter. Then,  in the Artist field I enter 'Miles Davis' and I check the check box. I leave the Album Artist field empty and unchecked because I don't want that field changed.

However, when I click the little disk icon to save changes, both the Album and Album Artist fields change to Miles Davis, even though Album Artist was unchecked. Anyone know why?

Questions / MusicBee Portable inside library folder - possible?

« on: July 08, 2018, 01:14:44 AM »

I have my music library sitting on a debian Linux fileserver, the library itself mirrored to an external ntfs-formatted hard drive shared via samba:
  
\\192.168.50.50\Music

The 'Music' share represents the root of the MB library. Under it are subfolders by genre and under each of these are subfolders for individual albums:

\\192.168.50.50\Music\Genre\Artist - Album\01 Track Title.mp3

I'd like to set up the MB portable application within the same structure:

\\192.168.50.50\Music\0-MusicBee
\\192.168.50.50\Music\0-Incoming

Does this sound like a good approach? Am I facing potential issues having MB inside the library itself? Are there any issues with MB sitting in a network share? Can MB be safely accessed from two locations at once or should I avoid this?

Bug Reports / MusicBee won't reopen after previewing pastel skin

« on: June 23, 2018, 12:12:11 AM »

I've been trying musicbee for the last week or so on a surface tablet. All has been great except today I decided to take a look at all the preinstalled skins. Inside the pastels category MB would not reopen. It gives me the following bug report in a pastel colored window. I don't really intend to use a pastel colored theme. I just want to be able to open MB. Hoping for some guidance.
