MusicBee Wishlist / Add Custom Preferences for Now Playing Tab

« on: May 12, 2022, 04:51:01 AM »

Hey Steve! I've been using the Now Playing tab more often this year and wanted to share some suggestions for an upcoming release. The Artist's Background artwork sometimes does not exist, and lyrics are only displayed if stored within each tag. It would be awesome to specify the background image source (ie: last.fm / gettyimages) and allow a similar API for lyrics source (Genius). The artists' bios have been fairly accurate but it wouldn't hurt to allow custom sources as well.

This is still the best music client hands-down, so thank you again for all the years of hard work!

Questions / Choose Album Artwork Without Impacting Track #1

« on: November 27, 2019, 04:50:20 PM »

Hi,

I have a quick question about the Album Artwork feature using the Album Covers view.
My goal is to add custom artwork for the album cover while keeping the 1st track with its own artwork. I have tons of albums where the lead single is track #1, so I'd like to still show that artwork as the primary for the single without impacting the overall album cover.


Example:

* Track 1 has embedded artwork A
* The actual Album cover has embedded artwork B

Can someone let me know if this is achievable in version 3.3.7261? So far, I've tried going to Customize Panel > Show Setting > "Enable All Artwork to be selected and displayed". Unfortunately, this does not permanently change the album cover. Also, Enable Image Rotation hasn't helped me.

Thanks again,

Questions / Sort Prioritization by Track# in Album View

« on: July 05, 2019, 04:29:26 PM »

I have a quick question regarding the sort preferences in Album view. There are times when I'll add an unreleased/promo track to an album and said track doesn't have a track#. iTunes would sort songs without a track# at the end of the album, however, MusicBee sorts these at the beginning. Can someone direct me to the appropriate setting to sort songs without a track# at the end please?

Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish: Musicbee vs iTunes

Questions / Add Song to Playlist Sort Default to #1 Spot

« on: July 01, 2019, 12:42:28 AM »

I'm still new to the forum, but haven't had any luck finding the Preference setting to add a song to #1 in a Playlist. I keep my playlist sorted in Manual Order and each time a new song is added to the very bottom. For Instance, one playlist has 4,900 songs and I would like the next song I drag & drop into it to be #1 and not #4,901. I do not wish to sort by Date Added since you lost the ability to custom sort.

For now, I'm selecting the newly added songs then jumping up to the 1st slot, ctrl+left click on #1 and dragging everything to top.
Let me know if there's a setting to accomplish this or if one could be developed in a future release to save time.
