Questions / Playlist view stuck, and "Goto Playing Track at Source" hotkey problem

« on: March 08, 2021, 03:58:41 AM »

Hey guys. Love MusicBee! I've run into very few issues over the last 8 years or so. After I updated musicbee recently (latest version) and am having a couple issues, which are probably somewhat simple to figure out. Bare with me as things like this are a bit hard to describe. Usually I open up the program and use keyboard hotkeys to play/pause/next track etc, those all work fine, but the playlist/program does not automatically scroll to the the playing track, it just stays put viewing whatever song musicbee opened to, but if I go into the program and double click a track to start playing, then it will begin to show/scroll to the playing track on the playlist as it should, but won't do it unless I manually select a track. The same goes for the 'Goto Playing Track at Source' hotkey, it will not work (will not take me to the playing track on the playlist) unless I first manually select a track on the playlist first, then everything works as it should. I just want to have musicbee startup and have those things happen without having to select a track manually. I also imported settings/layout from a pretty old music bee version, so that might be causing the hold up. Any ideas? Thanks!

Questions / is there a way to force the order of tracks on a playlist?

« on: March 14, 2015, 08:32:26 AM »

Hiya. Been a long time MusicBee user now, I still don't know most of what it does!

Some tracks are out of order on my playlist and I don't know how to get them in order. The playlist is sorted by artist name, which is how I like it, but some tracks are slightly out of order. I tried changing the track number in the info, but they still don't line up. Is there anyway I can manually reorder the playlist while generally keeping it alphabetical? Thanks!

Questions / Album art size keeps changing in Music Bee

« on: August 04, 2014, 02:45:51 AM »

Heya. I open various applications here and there that change desktop resolution. Unfortunately, Musicbee changes along with the resolution, and doesn't go back to normal when I go back to my default resolution - it's pretty annoying. Musicbee still looks mostly normal, it's the "track information" panel that changes a lot. The displayed album art size goes up and down. For a while it was displaying album art full size, and now it's displaying it in as a small size (shown here: http://i.imgur.com/VPWQVDj.png). I think by default musicbee displays album art at around 300x300 in the player (all my album art files are at least 600x600). I tried going back to my "custom view", but it didn't fix it.

How can I get the size of the displayed album art back to normal? Thanks.

MusicBee Wishlist / Karoke type lyric scrolling

« on: July 17, 2014, 05:14:35 AM »

Would be really cool if Musicbee was able to have karoke type scrolling for lyrics. I know ".lrc" files have that capability built in. I know Minilyrics does this, but I don't know what sources they get their .lrc files from. I suppose buying minilyrics would be the easiest way to go, but it's 20 bucks, and I'm mega cheap. Any chance Musicbee could get some type of automatic lyric scrolling? If not, that's fine, just thought I'd suggest it. Thanks.

MusicBee Wishlist / Option for finding different 'artist pictures'

« on: May 07, 2014, 01:58:07 AM »

I like the Artist Picture feature in theater mode. Though I don't always like the first picture of the band/artist that comes up. It would be cool to have the option to go forward and back through different pictures of the band/artist so you could scroll through images of the artist until you find one that you like, instead of having to use whatever comes up first.

MusicBee fetches high quality pictures of artists from these sites:

MusicBee Wishlist / Anchored window for Lyrics

« on: February 07, 2014, 04:59:18 PM »

Hey! Still loving MusicBee. I was hoping Musicbee could get an option for an anchored lyrics window on the side. The option for the floating lyrics is cool, but it's not attached to the main window, so when you move around the main Musicbee window, the lyrics box doesn't move with it.

Would like a separate window/panel here that locks to the musicbee player: http://i.imgur.com/B7ebXAC.png

I know I could also have the lyrics show under the album art, but then I have to expand the size of musicbee a lot to see them there. Sorry if I explained things badly. Thanks!

MusicBee Wishlist / Hotkeys for different equaliser presets

« on: February 07, 2014, 04:41:09 PM »

Hiya! I don't know if MusicBee is still in any kind of development or not but here's a wish anyways:

I would really like to be able to assign hotkeys to enable different presets in the equaliser/DPS settings. I have two presets I like a lot and depending on what kind of song is playing, I like to change it back and forth. But, it's kind of a hassle to have to manually go into the EQ and change the preset for every other track. So, in the Hotkeys window I would like to be able to set CTRL+B to enable the preset with heavier Bass, and CTRL+T for a more treble based preset, for example.

If there is any way to do this now, please let me know!

MusicBee Wishlist / Anchored lyrics window

« on: October 20, 2013, 12:54:36 PM »

I'd love to get a lyrics window attached to the side of my player, yet still be anchored. The option for the floating lyrics is cool but it's not attached to the main window (which is what floating means, after all!), so when I move around the main Musicbee window, the lyrics box doesn't move with it.

Here's a pic of where i'd personally like the lyrics box anchored to on the side there: http://i.imgur.com/B7ebXAC.png

like i said i can get the floating lyrics box there but it's separate and not actually connected to the main window. Thanks! Fantastic program.
