Questions / Sort within genre categories

« on: April 02, 2022, 03:58:08 AM »

I have an auto playlist with all songs rated 4 stars and higher. I use the track details view and group it by genre categories.
Within these categories I want to sort the songs by artist / title. When I try to sort it like this, the groups get messed up but when I click on Sort By -> "Group By" Order, the songs within the groups get sorted by album. How can I change this?

Questions / Change rating stars intensity in Album Covers view

« on: September 05, 2021, 02:25:33 PM »

Hi,

is it possible to change the intensity of the rating stars in the album covers view?
Right now I have this:



I find the stars quite dominant because they are bold like the album and disc#.
I'd rather have them in normal style like the album artist and track info. I can't style them in the *.xml and I looked into the settings.ini. I thought maybe there is something like <ratingStarsStyle>bold</ratingStarsStyle> but I didn't see anything.

Is it possible to change this somehow?

MusicBee Wishlist / Locate playing track at source highlights track

« on: August 23, 2021, 11:18:30 PM »

I really like the "locate playing track at source" feature. But at my age my eyes aren't what they used to be and I have problems to locate the little speaker symbol. So I wanted to use "highlight playing track in the main panel" with the "select track" option in my album covers playlists. The problem for me is that I like to browse my music while listening and as soon as the track changes it gets the focus and the view jumps to it.
I don't like that at all. I searched the forums and it turned out that this jump is something you guys seem to like and want so I guess it works as it should and a change isn't happening.

 So I'd like the "locate playing track at source" feature to highlight the track.

MusicBee Wishlist / Manually sort playlists in album cover view

« on: August 23, 2021, 09:47:15 PM »

I'd like to be able to manually sort the albums in a playlist while I'm in the album cover view.
Some of my playlist are quite large and it is a pain to switch to tracks view, select all the songs and drag them up for half a minute. Especially if my finger slips off the mouse button It would be much easier if I could drag & drop the albums wherever I want them.

Questions / Manually sorting playlist in album view

« on: August 16, 2021, 03:50:28 PM »

Hi,

I'm new to Musicbee, just switched from Foobar. I really like it and I think my music has found a new home.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my playlists from scratch and there is one super annoying thing I can't get around. I'm not able to sort the playlist when I'm in album view. I created a static playlist, choose display using view = albums, checked "custom fields for this playlist only" and sorting = manual order. But I still can't drag and drop my albums in the playlist.
When I change to track view I can sort it. But then I have to select all songs of the album and push them up which isn't something I want to do for very large playlists..

What am I doing wrong?
