I'm guessing this "TXXX/ENSEMBLE" thing has something to do with it, eh?



If that's actually embedded in my files I'll bet it's gonna be a joy to remove.

I think a screenshot would be more helpful here.  Where does the "Dexter Gordon" piece come in, for instance?

Crap. I'm sorry, I originally used Dexter Gordon as an example, then changed it to Jim Smith to "generic-ify" it, and didn't get all of them. Let me go back to Dexter:

ID3 tag:
ARTIST: Dexter Gordon
ALBUM ARTIST: Various Artists

MusicBee:
ARTIST: Dexter Gordon
ALBUM ARTIST: Dexter Gordon; Various Artists

Now for the screen captures:

ID3 tag:


MusicBee:


As a result of that, I have a Dexter Gordon entry in my Album Artists list with one track on it. I hope that clears up the confusion I've created.

Questions / The "Artist" tag is being concatenated into "Album Artist"

« on: March 18, 2017, 10:55:11 PM »

On albums where the Artist and Album Artist are different, MB is putting them together in the Album Artist tag, like this...

ID3 tag:
ARTIST: Jim Smith
ALBUM ARTIST: Various Artists

MusicBee:
ARTIST: Jim Smith
ALBUM ARTIST: Dexter Gordon; Various Artists

This causes a "Jim Smith" entry to appear in my Album Artists list, and I really don't want that. Is there a way to make MB stop doing this?

thanks!

You're right. I can replicate the issue. Could you change the title accordingly?

Done!

Ah ha... it only happens with the last album in that view. So if you're viewing all of an artist's albums, they'll all cue properly when double-clicked except for the last one on the list.

Same behavior in the patched version. 3.0.6011

Bug Reports / Double-clicking last album in list only queues displayed tracks

« on: June 17, 2016, 01:24:34 AM »

Many albums will only show the first X tracks (6 in my case) and you can expand the album to show the rest. If you double-click the album art without expanding the track list, only the displayed tracks are queued. If you expand the list and then double-click, all tracks are queued. This is definitely new in 3.0, as I just upgraded today and this is the first time I've seen it.

UPDATE: As we've discovered, this only happens with the last album in a list.

Questions / Re: MusicBee not finding all files on scan

Never mind, I think I found it.  There was an "ITUNES PODCAST" tag that was only visible from the Tag Inspector.  My tagging program didn't see it.  I think I'm all set.

Nope, even after deleting them from Podcasts and re-tagging them as Comedy, they still got imported into Podcasts.  Getting kind of old.

Just a quick update on this... upon installing the most recent upgrade, all the tracks that were previously missing have moved out of the library and back into Podcasts.  I'm considering simply retagging them so they don't have "podcast" in the Genre.

Were these files downloaded from somewhere?

They were, but I stripped out any tags and retagged everything from scratch.

would you be willing to run a debug version?
if so, before i do that, could you remove a couple of the files from the library. Redo the scan and see if the removed files are still not added in.

Short answer is sure, I'd be happy to.

But when I just did this again, I discovered that MB is in fact finding the files, it's just not adding them to the library. They are being sent to Podcasts, under "Unknown Subscription." When I try to play it, it says it can't find the file, and asks me to browse for it. I cancel the browse dialog, and it starts playing the missing tracks.

These files are tagged with genre = "podcast". However I have a total of 59 files tagged that way and only 22 went to Podcasts, the rest went to the library. So I'm confused.

Yes, I'm willing to try a debug version, you'll just have to decide if it's worth it given the above information.

I found the last file. Interestingly, all the missing files were from a single artist, though not a single subfolder. Entire subfolders under this artist were missed, as were individual files in certain albums. I've added them all manually, so there's probably not much troubleshooting to be done. Still a bit concerning.

Yep, I considered that, and the inbox is empty. I also configured the options so that newly-found files would go straight to the library rather than the inbox.  (Honestly I haven't gotten my head around what the inbox is for, so I'm kinda bypassing it for now. But that's a separate conversation.)

I should also have mentioned that the entire library is being drawn from a dedicated drive. So basically I've added F: as my sole location.

Right now MusicBee is showing 29,694 files, and Windows Explorer is showing 29,695. So I'm still missing one (which I may never find, given the ratio) but I'm very close.
