Questions / Re: Restoring Tags using additional tagging tools

« on: February 13, 2023, 05:44:14 PM »

The errors could be me, can you tell me which directory I am supposed to place the additional tagging and reporting plugin ?
I have it in the following which seems to not be correct..
c:\users\patrick\appdata\roaming\musicbee\plugins

Thank you again...

Thanks for the reply.
In my tag backups folder I have the following files which I moved from the old PC.
.Master Tag Index,mbi
MusicBee - baseline.bbl
MusicBee - Tag Backup .mbc file
MusicBee - Tag Backup .XML file

When I try to restore the tags I get an error saying no baseline file exists.
My music files are in the same path as the previous PC under C:\Music

It's the tags I created myself that I'm trying to get back, it's alot of research ....these would be under (TAGS) 2 where the custom fields can be populated.
Thanks again...

Questions / Restoring Tags using additional tagging tools

« on: February 12, 2023, 01:26:59 AM »

I had to move my musicbee database to a new PC. Previously on my old PC I would make it a habit to back up all my tags just in case I would need to restore them, on the new PC using additional tools I tried to restore the tags from my previous PC but it did not work, I must be doing something wrong, any ideals ? The errorn I get indicates the baseline.bbl file does not exist....

I do have some artists that are combined, for example Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler, they are tagged as ATKINS, Chet AND KNOPFLER, Mark, both artist and album artist are listed this way...but now that you mention it I have four of these such instances which is exactly where I am short, so that must be it....
Thanks....

All the tracks are added. I keep everything in one directory, track count, album count match but the artist one is off, no biggie, i noticed this when I was looking at the backups, it shows in my music directory 950 artists (or folders) and in the MusicBee stats it shows 946....I have no filtering set.
Thanks for the reply...

Questions / Library Statistics (Artists)

« on: February 08, 2022, 12:23:41 AM »

List of artists in MusicBee library statistics don't match. I have 946 artists listed in my library statistics but in reality I have 950 based on the folder count. Just want to make sure I am not doing something wrong, all my artists are in one directory.

Thanks

Maybe a silly question, is there a way either through MB or a specific skin where I can get a 10 star rating system as apposed to five ?

Questions / Playlist Menu

« on: June 10, 2021, 04:28:47 PM »

Recently transferred MusicBee to a new PC, everything went well except when I want to add a song to a playlist the playlist menu doesn't show all the playlists even though they are visible under the playlists tab, this wasn't an issue on my other PC. It basically doesn't allow me to scroll down my playlist menu. Hope I'm being clear enough.

Questions / Library Statistics / Artist Count

« on: May 07, 2019, 12:55:10 AM »

Wondering if anyone has an idea how I can fix library statistics as it pertains to artist count. Example, I have 54 James Taylor tracks but when I go to library stats it shows 99 tracks, John Lennon and Paul McCartney as solo artists are also incorrect.

Greatly appreciate any help, my apologies if I posted this in the wrong place...
