Greetings.

Recently I have bought a new computer.  Hooray, good for you, I hear you cry.  And since then, since I am such a fan of Musicbee, I've been copying all my albums into it again, because, like an idiot, I didn't save an earlier library to download.

Anyway, that's not the problem.  For most of the last few weeks, Musicbee has not been able to import most files from my hard drive because it says it has been denied access.  Initally, all I had to do was go to that folder and change the permissions, but I've done all that now, and it's still giving me that perishing message:

MusicBee v3.3.7491.38089Store (Win10.0), 21 Sep 2020 12:04:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. [G:\Music & Audio\Benson, George\1977 - Weekend in L.A]

The above is the text of the message.

Now, the folders are now perfectly accessible, so can anybody tell from the above what the problem might be?

I never had this problem before, on Dave (my old computer).

Thanks for any help,
Cheers,

Questions / Re: Some Albums Show Y (Complete) While Others ?
« on: June 16, 2019, 12:33:28 PM »
Ah, well, it appears I don't need to, because a quick closing and then re-opening of the program did the trick.

That's the lesson, future readers of this thread, with no clue why it is that MB is not recognising complete albums when it sees them.

Close the program and then re-open it before taking to your computer keyboards and posting a rant on here.

I'm sure it's possible for someone to write a teensy bit of code that could correct this problem?  It's a bit awkward to have to do that, but there we are, it is what it is.

Thank you so much for your help, anyways.

Cheers,

Hi Redwing:

Thanks for replying.  And there was me thinking you would be able to work all that out simply through your own telekinetic powers.

The version of MB is 3.2.6827.

Oddly, I looked at the very thread you have linked to and thought to myself, how on Earth do they get the screenshots to look like that? So I have no clue how to provide a screenshot.  Also, I will close down MB and reopen it the next time I am on that PC.

Cheers,
Stephen

105,846 files as of today, or 782Gb. 

This is the result of 15 years' work.

Questions / Some Albums Show Y (Complete) While Others ?
« on: June 15, 2019, 10:11:56 AM »
Hello:

I absolutely love this software, it is all over iTunes and that Windows Media Ruiner, but one issue puzzles me and, I think, leaves me frightened to go out at night.

It is as more or less stated in my title.  I have, ironically, 69 albums by Prince.  These include albums, E.P.s and so on.  Now, most of the albums give me Y - i.e., the album is complete, while others show ? - i.e., we're not sure if the album is complete.  It never says N - i.e. the album is definitely not complete.  Maybe it is scared to.

What gives?  I have checked every last detail of every track in the albums where it tells me it might not be complete, to the ones that tell me they are complete, and they are identical in principle - obviously, the albums have different track numbers and so on, but to all intents and purposes, they are the same.

I know people had issue with this problem several years ago, like, in 2013, and I understood that subsequent updates cured this issue but, here it is, back again after all these years, like a long-lost relative who turns up at your door, newly divorced, and wanting to kip down on your sofa for just a few months.


Could someone, perhaps Steven himself, help me resolve this issue?  That would be fab, thank you.

Cheers,
Stephen Butler

Questions / Re: Help Me Please - Have Done Something Stupid...

Hello and apologies for the late reply - effects of chronic illness, I'm afraid. 

I did as was suggested, and installed MusicBee 3.2 to the same effect, sadly.  The error message that I posted on September 2 is still with me.  I'll post the new error below just in case there is any colossal and catastrophic difference between the two messages that I have missed.

Thanks again for all your help,

Cheers,
Stephen

By the way, I already know there is a 3.2 version of MB, and I've downloaded it, but I didn't even get the chance to install it before this happened!  I can't do anything within MB without this error message.

Questions / Help Me Please - Have Done Something Stupid...
« on: September 02, 2018, 12:27:19 PM »
Hello,

I have been playing about with the enormous value of changes that can be made to Musicbee, layout, format, that sort of thing.  Now I cannot see any track names, the album covers are all broken up, and more importantly, when clicking on an album to play it, it does so for a second or two and then I get the error message below:

Oh, by the way, I'm using MB v3.0, on Windows 7, on an HP PC with 12gb of RAM and a 128GB SSD C:Drive, er...what else do you need to know?  All my music is played from an external drive.  Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Stephen Butler

Bug Reports / Error Report 05.05.18
« on: May 05, 2018, 08:11:21 AM »
Good morning ladies and gentlemen:

This morning, I received the error report you see below.  At the time, I was changing my audio output of the player from ASIO4ALL, which seems to only allow one device or program at a time from hogging its resources, to AudioFire 4, my soundcard's driver, which is supposed to allow multiple sources for playback at once, although I have yet to experience that.  

As I have completely no idea what any of the below means, I thought I would copy and paste it and reproduce it for those which a far greater expert eye than my own to decipher it.  

Many, Moonie thanks,
Stephen Butler
