Questions / Re: AutoPlaylist RULES Export

This worked great, thank you guys!

Hello all,

I recently moved some files, others were renamed, and very few had the tags changed because I had the wrong album info. I didn't realize at the time that MB would not automatically be able to "match" files that changed within a playlist. I realize the ones that have different tags won't be matched, but none of the files are being matched and located. 99% of them have the same files size, and same artist and album but when I click on "Start Auto-Match" nothing happens. The first time it took a short while to look through all the files, but after that the search seems to last a few seconds but nothing is matched. In some cases, the file is in the same location as the original but the file name changed to include a featured artist but it does not find it.

I tried one the suggestion to delete the file "MusicBeeLibrary.pidx" but that doesn't seem to make a difference. A new one is recreated very quickly but it doesn't help. Nothing is found. Any suggestions?

Questions / [SOLVED] AutoPlaylist RULES Export
« on: February 21, 2020, 05:13:17 PM »
Hello all,

Is there a way to export the RULES I've created for auto-playlists? Some I've created on my own, some I've gotten ideas from here. Some are complicated enough that I don't think I'd be able to easily reproduce without all the trial and error I've already gone through, so I'd love to be able to back these up. Is there a way to do that? Again, I'm not looking to export the list or the files but rather the RULES.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that just now and still didn't get any results. I see the same whether it's a soundtrack or not. Anything with Various Artists does not pull up any results. I'm a little surprised because in iTunes they all appear with the artist name as "Various Artists" and iTunes is one of my sources.

Any other suggestions? Is this working for others here? I could have sworn it's worked before lol...

Hello all!

I was updating my album covers and everything was going well when suddenly all of them started giving the above error. Now, even if I go back to some of the ones it found an hour ago it doesn't work. It doesn't seem to actually search either, I get the error immediately after clicking the search. All the other internet related functions seem to work well, including auto-tag by album.

I found an old post that said to disable fanart because they were having server trouble then. I tried that with each option. I disabled all but one at a time to see if my results would be different, but none of the 4 worked.

I am on version 3.3.710. Windows 10. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Update: It seems I made a mistake earlier, it is not all searches. It doesn't find any search or find any album under "Various Artists". I can find albums under individual artist names. Is this intentional?

MusicBee Wishlist / Auto Playlist Rule for "Original Year"
« on: December 19, 2019, 04:36:00 PM »
Hi!

Loving MB so far.  :D

Request 1: In the Auto Playlist rules, there is an option for "Original Year". I would love to see the condition include "in range". Currently for "Original Year" you have to add 2 separate rules to accomplish this: "is before" and "is after". "Year (YYYY)" and "Year" both include that parameter but Original Year does not. In fact, It would be nice if all the Date related tags had this "in range" option.

Request 2: I imagine the above would mostly be used for decade auto playlists. While there is the very handy "Decade" option in the rules, this uses the Year tag. Would it, then, perhaps be easier to create a second decade option that uses the Original Year tag. For example "Decade (Original)". In that case, then request one may not be necessary..

Just my thoughts.

Thanks again for this wonderful software!

Questions / Re: Last Added Auto Playlist (not Recently Added)
« on: December 19, 2019, 03:17:59 PM »
Wow, that tip for "Last Added" was perfect. Thank you!

I before I noticed there was a "Decade" in the first dropdown under rules , I had started making one like that but then noticed the "decade" thing and it was much easier to not have to set up rules, but I can certainly do it like that as well. It's nice having that much control anyway.

Thanks again!

Questions / Last Added Auto Playlist (not Recently Added)
« on: December 19, 2019, 02:25:25 PM »
Hello everyone,

Recently started using musicbee, coming from itunes and I aboslutely love it! THANK YOU! Looking fw to being a part of this community :D

I have seen plenty of poss regarding "Recently Added" playlists but I was hoping to find out if it's possible to create and auto playlist for Last added. Recently works nicely, for example, if i choose in the last 3 weeks. However, If I don't add anything for 3 weeks I'm assuming it will be blank, so I'm looking for something that will always generate, for exmaple, the last 50 tracks added. When I look at the rules for "Date added" I couldn't figure out a way.

Anyway have suggestions?

Thanks,

AR

Edit: Another question, I made several "Decade" based auto playlists. Is there a way for it to read "Original Date" tag? For example, I have some compilation albums for the Beatles so I would like those to show in their original decade instead of when the album was published.

Hi,

Can anyone here tell me how I can reproduce this on my layout? In the screenshot above there is a vertical row inside the main panel with a list of years, it has the word Browser above it. I'm attaching a version of the screenshot highlighting in red what I am referring to. Please let me know if you need more clarification.

Can someone please guide me on how to accomplish that in my layout?



Thanks!
