Questions / How to update to latest version
« on: August 23, 2022, 10:52:08 AM »
I see this has been asked before, but I wansn't able to find an answer that fully reassures an "anxious" (and not very expert) user like me.

I have ver. 3.4.8033 of MusicBee and to be honest it suits me just fine, but I see there are new versions available that probably add cool new features.
The software does not autoupdate so far, so my straightforward question is, if I download the latest zip file from here https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=36464.0 , unzip and run the .exe file, will all my library, settings, layout, preferences, playlists, stats, subscriptions etc be kept or will I have a new, clean version of MusicBee?

I'm almost sure that I didn't get my actual version from the Windows Store but I downloaded from the official site.

Thanks

Alternatively, if I move the image files afterwards, will the link to the respective audio files be lost (image not found or something)?

Ciao, c'è un piccolo errore nel menù che si apre quando si modifica una traccia e si clicca col tasto destro sul riquadro della copertina dell'album: "Scegli immagine" è scritto così "Scegli mmagine" (manca la prima "i" di "immagine"). È possibile correggere? Grazie.

Hi, there's a typo on the Italian menu when you right-click the box for the artwork. "Scegli immagine", the translation of "Choose Picture", appears like this "Scegli mmagine" (the second word is missing the "i" at the beginning). Please can you fix this? Thank you.

Also, unrelated to this issue but I'm taking the opportunity to report it anyway: there's a typo on the Italian menu when you right-click the box for the artwork. "Scegli immagine", the translation of "Choose Picture", appears like this "Scegli mmagine" (the second word is missing the "i" at the beginning).
You should post this in the thread for the language (Italian) so the person who did the translation can see it and make the correction.

Will do, thanks

Ok, I found the setting you were talking about.

Then I have another question: the image should always be in the same folder as the audio file? I'd like to create a "Covers" folder (maybe a subfolder of Songs) where to save all the covers, so they don't get mixed with the actual mp3 files.
Is that possible?
In other words, can I specify both the file name structure (as you explained me to do) AND the destination?

Ok, so I have temporarily switched to English so I can understand better.

I right-click and then Edit a single track. In the box for the artwork, I right-click and choose "Search Internet": the new window opening is Tags(1)/ artwork preferences ? I see that by default "link the picture to this music track" is ticked, and so is "link to an organised copy of the picture" (see my screenshot in the first post, even though it's in Italian, it's the same window). The field contains "Cover.jpg" but it's light grey and uneditable, where should I put <Album>.jpg or <Album Artist> - <Album>.jpg as you suggested?

Also, unrelated to this issue but I'm taking the opportunity to report it anyway: there's a typo on the Italian menu when you right-click the box for the artwork. "Scegli immagine", the translation of "Choose Picture", appears like this "Scegli mmagine" (the second word is missing the "i" at the beginning).

Thanks for the reply.

But how can I prevent this from happening then? 90% of my audio files are in the same folder ("Songs"), I don't want to create a folder for each album.

Bug Reports / uploading an album cover doesn't work properly

Hi,

I noticed that when I edit a track and upload an album cover for it (I usually search on the web for the image, the image is not uploaded from my PC), sometimes it assigns that cover to other tracks too (by different artists and from different albums), I have to manually fix those.
The other tracks affected seem to be random, so it's difficult to spot where the album cover is wrong.

Possibly it's the same problem this user reports here? https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=35159.msg192190#msg192190

If so, maybe I should de-select the option here? https://i.postimg.cc/4yhXyKsb/9bl.jpg (my UI is in Italian)
(the box was ticked by default, I don't remember clicking it)

Thank you

Thank you again for your help, I'll try and let you know

And yet I've just tried again, pausing for 40 minutes, and when I clicked Play it all worked. So I don't know, it's not even consistent.

>>>>Are the podcast episodes locally downloaded or streamed?

Streamed I guess? This is how I do it: I search for the podcast and click Subscribe, it gets added with the list of all the episodes available, and then I double click on the episode title to listen to it. I see if you right-click on an episode title there's an option to download it, but I never use it.
For example one subscription link is http://rss.acast.com/theoffensive

>>>>>how long are you leaving it paused for?

That's my point, if I leave it paused for just a few seconds, no problem, when I click Play the episode resumes from the point I had reached. But if the pause lasts longer (I made some tests, waiting like 5-10 minutes) then when I click Play the episode restarts at the beginning.

Since this never happens when I listen to my local music files on MB (everything works fine with them), I wonder if this is due to the fact that podcast episodes are not "stored" locally on my computer (in other words, there's no solution to this issue and I just have to get used to it).

Ok, this is it, right? Should I delete these 4?
thanks

Copying and pasting the suggestions in the link in post #2

- a forum search to see answers to other people asking the same question many times
- disable mediakey hotkeys in MB preferences
- disable the media control plugin
- or use this patch version
https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee35_Patched.zip
unzip and replace the existing musicbee application files


- disable mediakey hotkeys in MB preferences
please tell me where I can find this setting: I'm looking at the Preferences menu but I can't find anything (my language is Italian, but there's nothing resembling "mediakey hotkeys")

- disable the media control plugin
In Preferences/Plugin I see last.fm (disabled) and cd art display (disabled) and then home theater mode (or "modalità home theater" in my language). There are no other plugins
