It is highly unlikely that a .dll file is malware, that is not how it works.

What? Do you have any way to support that sentence?

I had one other thing I wanted to run by you. As you know the MusicBee genre category only supports a two-level hierarchy while Allmusic uses a three-level hierarchy e.g: http://www.allmusic.com/style/glam-rock-ma0000002619

Do you see any way to implement a three-level hierarchy for genres in MusicBee using the built-in functions and/or plugins? I've been giving it some thought but all my solutions would require an extreme amount of manual labor. Curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Never thought of it, that seems to be a fun problem to tackle. Probably, if you tag your genre in allmusic order, you then could create virtual tags to handle a hierarchy system. This is me just spiting it out of my head, I'm not sure if it would work. Try take a look at http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Functions

Just started using this add-on and it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much for making it! An opt-in option for Moods and Themes would be great, though. Right now I'm writing those tags random fields and then deleting them at a later point in time.

Looking forward to the next version. Keep up the good work!

I've stop using windows in the last couple months, so for now I can not continue to develop this plugin. I miss musicbee a lot and I'm meaning to install a VM to run it along side linux, there's also a group of functionality that I want to  add to this plugin, the option to opt-out being one of them. So just subscribe to this thread, and as soon I find the time I'll update it 

btw, I'm glad you find it useful, thanks for the support!

Plugins / Genres, Moods and Themes Manager (V1.1.0)

« on: January 17, 2017, 07:12:51 PM »

GMT Manager
A plugin for MusicBee to help manage music Genres, Moods and Themes

Info

Although there are good tagging tools in MusicBee, non of them let the user easily import and manage multiple values for Genres, Moods and Themes. So this tool was created.

GMT Manager is composed by two main tools:

- A manual importer where the user manually search and select the GMT tags to import
- A bot that automatically looks for and fills the appropriate tags, based on pre selected option by the user

Manual Importer

 1. Select the files to import
 2. Right-Click > GMT Manager






Bot Importer


 1. Filter the main view with tracks to tag
 2. MainMenu > Tools > Tagging Tools > GMT Bot
 3. Fill the settings (by default the last used is loaded)
 4. Press Start Bot








Installation Instruction

- Copy the content from the downloaded zip file into the plugins folder, usually it's located in the MusicBee installation directory


 Future Plans

 - Write better tests
 - Design a better UI to filter the Bot log
 - Make the UI look closer to the MusicBee one

 How to report bugs

 * Open a Issue in GitHub
 * Respond to this thread

 Release Notes
 1.1.0
 - Fix crash when searching for tags with some UTF8 chars
 - Improved tag update performance, now shouldn't hang the player when updating a long list of tracks
 - Added ability to opt-out entirely of some categories

 - GMT Manager V1.0
