Questions / Re: Album Sequencing sorting problem

« on: November 12, 2018, 06:23:41 PM »

I think you'll need to add a zero to the single-digit numbers. 1 becomes 01, 2 becomes 02, etc.

I'm not sure if there's any other way unless Steven makes a change to how numerical sorting works.

That does work, but are there really no other ways? Ugh such a dumb bug

Questions / Album Sequencing sorting problem

« on: November 12, 2018, 03:07:33 AM »

So I sort my library by the Album Artist, because of this I have a ton of stuff that is filed under "Various Artists". Some of these albums are numbered collections that reach into the teens. I sort my Various Artists section by the Album Name and this is where my problem arises.

Problem
Hotel Costes 1
Hotel Costes 10
Hotel Costes 11
Hotel Costes 12
Hotel Costes 2
Hotel Costes 3
Hotel Costes 4

What I want
Hotel Costes 1
Hotel Costes 2
...
...
Hotel Costes 9
Hotel Costes 10
Hotel Costes 11


What do I do to fix this?

I...don't import? Not sure what you mean, I have a music folder and MB just reads that. Standard version of W10. I never change anything, only been using MB for a few months.

I totally purged my Musicbee from my computer and reinstalled it, I gained nearly 200+ tracks over what my total track count was from before, my missing songs are now there. I didn't do anything else other than a total cleanout of MB.

Guess I'll just treat MB like Windows, gains gunk through time for no reason and I'll have to reinstall it every 6 months like my OS.

Also

One is those files are not consistently tagged, hence separated to another album. Check their tags using tag editor and tag inspector.

I downloaded mp3tag to check and everything there is fine too.

Was never my tags, my manage duplicates thing was empty as well.

I really don't understand most of what you wrote, what's a node? I just open musicbee and click play and hope it adds my files, now I notice that files are missing. I used the search box but I never figured that the magnifying glass was a actual buttonand now I see the song. But...I don't know how MB can give me it as a result but it's still not in my library.

So 'local node' doesn't have the song, but when I click entire library it does. So everytime I open musicbee I'm only looking at one part of my library? I switched from foobar to this because the other one is incredibly barebones and you have to build it piece by piece, but MB has been giving me headaches since day 1 with inane nonsense such as this. I just wanna play my music and have it sorted, I'm not deadmau5

MB won't complain about tags for importing as long as the file is playable.
If importing was denied, I can think of only one possibility. The file is already in your library (also check inbox node).
If that doesn't make sense, your library may not be up to date. I'd suggest running Tools> Advanced> Rescan all files command to see if that makes any differences to either of your existing tracks or the new tracks.

So it's not the tags

The inbox thing is empty, though I've literally never clicked that button and it took me a while to find it

And I did the rescan, nothing happened from what I can tell

Is there like some ignore function that turned itself on in MB?

This is making no sense and it's driving me nuts

Questions / Random songs missing from Musicbee

« on: December 13, 2017, 10:38:30 AM »

I asked this on Reddit when the site was down but didn't get much of a response.

I randomly noticed yesterday one of my favourite tracks was missing from Musicbee. I made sure MB was monitoring the correct folders and it is. I tried adding the new file manually and it didn't do anything. Drag and Drop gives me a crossed out symbol. I was told it was because of bad tags, but I'm very good about my tags and make sure as much as my library is clean and orderly. I downloaded mp3tag to check and everything there is fine too.

Songs 2 and 3 are not listed in MusicBee, the tags here are fine and sequential. I'm not sure what to do that's not purging MB and redownloading and starting over, because I have so much music I don't know what else could be missing.
