Questions / Delete duplicates - anyone used an app for this successfully?
« on: February 15, 2024, 07:26:38 PM »
Hi, can anyone recommend an app that will delete duplicates based on same MP3 tags (artist and album and title)?

The problem is, I came from iTunes where I have two of each file in many folders, one starting with "1-", from when you told iTunes it was disc 1 and it changed the filename.  So, then I have two identical song files in the same folder, just one starts with "1-" and one doesn't. 

Thanks for any recommendations!

Questions / I can't get auto-tag to behave!
« on: January 23, 2022, 06:30:36 PM »
Help!
:)
I have files such as this:
E:\FLAC\Vinyl rips\The Jets - Private Number (12 inch)\Audio Files\The Jets - 01 - Private Number (12 inch mix).flac

I have musicbee collecting files from the FLAC folder automatically and putting them into INBOX. 
I am trying to infer tags from these file name and paths so that it gets the Artist name and album name from the 3rd folder (The Jets - Private Number (12 inch), and then the track number and song name from the file itself.  Or whatever way works.  Is this possible?

All the files will be in common folder FLAC\Vinyl rips.

Thanks

How do you make musicbee copy files to the library folder when moving from inbox?

Is this bug?
If I rip a CD in Musicbee, it only goes at 4x.  However, if I open the CD in Media Player and start ripping the CD (I cancel it but I start the first track), then I return to MusicBee, it will then rip at my drive's max speed, which is up to 48x.

What gives????

Questions / CD rip speed - anyone figure out why this varies so much?
« on: January 06, 2021, 08:56:39 PM »
Did a lot of searching online, and no one seems to have any rhyme or reason why a CD is ripped at 20x plus or at 4x.  I can put in brand new CDs and they read at 4x, and then a 30 year old CD and it reads at 40x plus with my external drive.   This makes no sense.  Anyone really know the answer to this and if there is anything that can be done about it? Thanks

Questions / CD metadata not working again
« on: January 06, 2021, 08:31:34 PM »
Hello, this isn't working again.  I am ripping some very well known CDs that are listed on the musicbrainz site, and musicbee will not pull them in.  I'm not typing all these songs in.  It'd be nice if this were consistent.

BTW when this happens, I can go in after the fact and tag it automatically from the internet using the context menu once I fill out artist and title.

Hello, I added some folders inside the monitored folder with new music in it, and the program will not see the new folders to add them to the library.  When I click on Choose Folders, the folders are not shown in the folders.  I cannot get the program to refresh this so it will see the new folders.  What gives?  I thought it was supposed to monitor the folder I selected and all folders inside it.

Questions / Genre tags from imported mp3s are showing as numbers
« on: January 12, 2020, 04:21:59 PM »
Hi, I imported many tracks tagged in iTunes, and some of them show as numbers, like Alternative shows as "20", and R&B shows as "14".  What gives??  These appear to be random.  Most of them are OK.

Questions / How to copy files into Musicbee as easily as iTunes? Possible?
« on: November 26, 2019, 06:25:23 PM »
Hi, most of my mp3s are ripped from vinyl, so they have no tags or artwork.
In iTunes, I used to drag and drop the files from Windows Explorer into iTunes, and it would copy them over and show them in order I added them.  Then I used iTunes to add tags (to whole albums, and then individual files, as iTunes would bring the filename into the song title field automatically).  Then I added song numbers and artwork.  This works well, but I have 600 gigs of music, so iTunes is getting bogged down.

What is the easiest way with the least amount of steps to duplicate this effort in Musicbee? 

Honestly if this program can't do it, I need to move onto another program, or just stick with iTunes.

Suggestions please! Thanks

Portable Devices / MTP device sync
« on: November 22, 2019, 02:30:18 AM »
Sorry, I can't find this option to sync to the sd card in my FIIO M6, which is an MTP device.  The option to scan for MTP devices is not where the wiki says it is.  Anyone have instructions on this please?
