That solves it, thanks. I assumed the difference was just visual, but apparently it's functional as well.

Thanks for your reply. I actually have that enabled already, but I don't think it's quite what I'm looking for. It visually highlights the currently playing track, but it doesn't shift the focus of the display when the track changes.

For example, if I'm shuffling through a list of 20 albums, when the track changes, I want the Main window to scroll to that track. Basically, I want MB to run the "Locate Playing Track in Current Tab" every time the track changes. I'm changing from foobar to MB, and in foobar that feature is called "cursor follows playback".

For what it's worth, I have already spent time with the Wiki, and I have looked at and tested every nearly every setting the program offers. I wouldn't have asked for help here in the forums if I hadn't already tried to solve this myself.  :-\

Questions / Automatically follow playing track in current tab?
« on: August 04, 2017, 12:37:49 PM »
I can use a hotkey to Locate Playing Track in Current Tab, but I would like this to happen automatically, so the currently playing track stays in focus in the Main panel. Is this possible?

Can someone help me with this? I could probably figure it out eventually, but it would take a lot of trial-and-error.

What I want is to split a duration like 356:25 into 5 hours, 56 minutes, 25 seconds, including some conditional checks to only display the hours bit if the duration is actually greater than an hour.

Huge thanks hanks to anyone who offers to help me out 8)

Questions / Add a specific value to a specific tag using a button?
« on: August 03, 2017, 08:51:12 PM »
This is the short version of my question:
Can I assign a specific value to a specific tag using a button?

This is the long version with more context:
I have a lot of old radio shows that I wan to add to MB. I originally planned to add them as podcasts so I can keep track of which chapters/episodes I have listened to, but the thought of parsing out the episode dates from the file names and getting them all tagged properly doesn't sound like fun.

So now I'm thinking of just adding them to my main library, and just using filters to keep them seperate, or maybe some custom tag magic in the Column Browser. Anyway, I have tested out a system that uses the Highlight feature to add a check-mark icon to episodes I've listened to, and I've added a check-mark button to write the necessary tag that triggers the display of the checkmark.

Technically it works, but it's sloppy. The only way I've found to do this is to abuse the Rating tag (which I don't use). So the button tags files with a rating of 1.5, and the Highlighting rule displays the checkmark for all tracks rated 1.5

But surely there is a better way to do this, right? I can create a custom tag called <checked>, and change the Highlighting rule to work from that instead, but I don't know how to assign a value to a tag using a button (if that's even possible).

Use something like CUETools to split the FLAC image into individual tracks.

This skin is slick, thanks for sharing it.

What font are you using in that recent screenshot?

Awesome, thanks fabulario. It took a bit for me to figure out how to set it up, but now that it's done, it works great!

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't use the left navigator panel, and even if I did I don't have panel headers turned on...

Is there a way to emulate this behavior with filters or smart playlists or something? I don't necessarily need to use separate libraries - that's just how things are set up right now.

I really just want one pinned tab to show all music files from one folder, and another pinned tab to show all music files from a different folder. And of course the column browser should only show me tags for those files...

Questions / Libraries as tabs?
« on: July 30, 2017, 07:55:46 PM »
I have two libraries. I would like to open each one in a tab, and pin them so they stay open, and I can switch between them easily. Is this possible?

If not, what other options do I have for quickly changing libraries?

Thanks  :)
