Questions / Re: WAV files showing Track Number as Artist

« on: April 16, 2021, 05:47:59 AM »

I am running Version: 3.4.7764
Do you know if I run tagging in Musicbee if it writes the tags to the actual files
or if it just keeps it in a database in Musicbee?

The only issue I have is Musicbee reading the Track number as the Artist Name
so Artist background art is wrong, it tries to lookup 01 and lyrics don't display.
I assume that is for the same reason even though the Title is correct with the
Artist Name and track title correct.

Does anyone know a way to resolve this without having to tag over 40,000 files?

Here is what displays in the player
Van Halen - You Really Got Me
01

If that's what works for you.

sveakul,
Well said!
"The important thing is that you are enjoying the music (and using MusicBee to do so)."
Enjoying the Music is all that matters.

frankz,
I'm not sure how suggesting that if people can afford the storage they may hear a difference with WAV is dispariging.
The WAV file is a exact copy of what is on the CD and FLAC is not!

I would suggest everyone sit with their favorite song's and the best system they have, and compare the feeling of a good song
in WAV over FLAC.
There is something in the dark spaces.

Now if I can get lyrics to display in Theater mode all is good.

I noticed your name on the lyrics plugin.
Is their anyway to just paste in the artist & track info in the lyrics panel and have it do a search?
Another app I was using had a popup when you select the search for lyrics option and let you enter the info.
Thanks....

Your statement is technically correct but it does not account for the feeling of well recorded music.
Lossless is a term but there is still compression and conversion of the music.
With how cheap storage is today it amazes me when people are just trying to save space.
I get what you are saying if you want the music on your phone I also have everything in flac and
use it in certain places. but sitting with a good DAC and 2.1 stereo system there is a difference.
Musicbee is great on a 75" TV in theater mode with WAV files.

Would their be any way in Musicbee to just tell it internally that the track is not the Artist with a grouping or something without
writing to the files?

My file structure may be part of the issue I may make a change there.

Will give it a try.
Have a cover.jpg in each folder so the only issue that flac has over WAV is the tags.
If I can resolve that I will stick with WAV there is a difference.
Thanks...

Hello Frankz,
Thanks for the reply.
If I do that does it write the info to the files stored on my NAS
or just keep it in the Musicbee database?

Questions / WAV files showing Track Number as Artist

« on: April 02, 2021, 10:26:28 PM »

Just discovered MusicBee and love it so far.
All of my files are WAV files stored in the file structure listed below.

\MUSIC\WAV\Alter Bridge - Blackbird\01 - Alter Bridge - Ties That Bind.wav

01 - Alter Bridge - Ties That Bind
is what shows in the player screen
and it displays the Artist as 01 the track number

When Musicbee looks for art or lyrics it cant find anything because it thinks
the artist is the track number.

Is there any way to get Musicbee to change the way it reads the filename?

Thanks.....
