Questions / Re: Need Help Trying To Link My Wireless HD to MusicBee

I would strongly suggest getting the latest portable version from the first forum topic, and then updating to the latest 3.5 patch available from my signature below.

I don't know if that will solve the issue, but you've got nothing to lose by trying it.

I also suggest the portable version in case as a) the store version doesn't get updated all that frequently and b) with the portable install, you can just copy then entire MB directory and move it to any other directory. Place it in c:\MusicBee, or something similar, but -not- in c:\users\...

Lastly - you don't have much space left on your c:\drive. Try to free up some space.

Hey @phred: Thank You! Once I installed the portable version - the drive showed up as an option that I could select. I am importing my files now and should be 100% good to go! Thank you again for all of your help

Sounds good- I am going to try these fixes and report back to you and as to you last point haha - that is why I am trying to move my music over to a harddrive that does not need to be attached to my computer 24/7

So I can map it on my File Explorer but I still can not make the folder discoverable in MB (see the screenshots)

Questions / Need Help Trying To Link My Wireless HD to MusicBee

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a new external hard drive for my music and I went with a wireless one so I don't have to keep it attached. The problem I am running into is that since the hard drive is wireless - its data is housed under networks - even in trying to create shortcuts in the set of folders Musicbee lets me select from - the folder still doesn't show up.

I guess I am wondering is there any way to add/change the available folder options so I can have musicbee scan my hard drive for the files?

I love the "Sort Artist" idea - That will give me exactly what I need!

I am trying to play with the string so I can sort the artist like you @tangotonyb - but just keeping the same ";" separator (I like it because the system already knows to split that as a new artist)

How would I go about doing that? I am all for whatever works so I can display the albums correctly and still have my various artists match up there too

If you can see in the picture - I want to be able to sort by artist and not Album Artist - but I want to either set the sort (or learn how to create a custom field) - that only takes the information before the first semicolon and uses that --  that way if my album artist is "Various Artist" and my Artists is "Artist 1; Artist 2" - the field would sort for "Artist 1" by itself

Questions / Anybody Know How To Customize The Sort String

I am trying to find a way to sort my library by the artist. I use the ":" to separate the featured artists - which when I sort by "Artist," the songs with the features always fall to the bottom. Since many of my songs list "Various Artists" as the "Album Artists" - I was looking for a way to set up a field (or just to do the sort) where I can sort all artists before the ":", so then I can keep my album sequencing together and still have when the artist show up on "Various Artists" things (Like soundtracks) - it will still group the artist near his/her other work
