Questions / Musicbee's handling of year format in tags

« on: December 10, 2013, 02:29:04 PM »

This is a major annoyance and completely ruins my Musicbee experience.

I have the year tags of my mp3s formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, as well as the Episode Date tag (used as Release Date in iTunes).
Musicbee is set to write ID3v2.4 tags as well as ID3v1

Whenever I update a tag of a file with the year tag formatted as YYYY-MM-DD Musicbee does the following:
Changes Year (TDRC) tag to (D)D-(M)M-YYYY (e.g. 1-11-2010 or 14-2-2007)
Adds another Year (TYER) tag to the file
Adds a Date tag (TDAT) tag to the file
Changes Episode Date (TDRL) to (D)D-(M)M-YYYY 00:00 (e.g. 1-11-2010 00:00 or 14-2-2007 00:00)

Why on earth does Musicbee feel inclined to update all these tags even if I don't alter any of them, but only for example the comment field?

Please, for the love of God. Can you change this so Musicbee respects the original year handling and used tags of the file?

I just want my TDRC and TDRL to stay in the DD-MM-YYYY (e.g. 2013-04-08) without having it being updated whenever I update any other tag of one of my music files.

On a related note, how can you change that year in the sorting fields etc. also is being displayed in the YYYY-MM-DD format instead of the very annoying (D)D-(M)M-YYYY format?

I'm using Musicbee version 2.3.5082.

MusicBee Wishlist / Touchpad gestures

« on: October 15, 2013, 05:47:14 PM »

I have gestures on my touchpad which work in virtually every program. When you swipe with three fingers to the left (back) or right (forward) it goes back or forward. It works in Windows Explorer, every internet browser and a host of other programs.

Is it possible to add this kind of support to Musicbee? Would be useful for going back and forward in the music browser in Artwork view. E.g. You click on a cover to see an album, then swipe back to go back to all music.
