MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Start / End Times
« on: March 20, 2024, 05:42:58 PM »
I had made about the same request a while ago.
My request was limited to a checkbox with the option "only in playlist".
There are songs that last up to 8-10 minutes or more and they don't fit in a playlist that long, while simply listening to the single song or the entire album it would be better to listen to it all.

I haven't properly digested the above, but if what you are looking for is a way to avoid seeing the "extra artists" in your tab there:

Then on the filter panel to your left, you can look for a field called <artists: artist> and display by that.

A thousand thanks
It was such a trivial thing that I didn't think about it.
Sometimes you get lost right in the classic glass of water (I don't know if it's also used in English)
Thanks again

I don't quite understand. Please try rephrasing.

Also, if you can support the above with screenshots, that would help a deal.

I'll try!!!
When you insert the song in the artist --> multiartist field you can also insert all the members who performed the song.
Example:
Abba (artist group)
The King Has Lost His Crown (song)
To be included in the multi artist
Arranged By [Strings] – Anders Eljas
Bass – Rutger Gunnarsson
Drums – Rolf Alex
Guitar – Lasse Wellander
Lead Vocals – Frida
Oboe – Jan Risberg



I would like instrumental performers not to appear in the artist list





As you can see in the images, the drummer and all the other performers of the song appear in the list of artists, thus creating multitudes of artists who perhaps only made the arrangement of that song.

But only those whose role is only artist or interpreter would appear.

It is very useful as information but should only appear as track info in the appropriate panel.

I hope I've been exhaustive.

At the moment, inserting an artist into multi artists, whatever their role appears in the artists view.
In the artists view, only the one who has the main role of the album or song should appear, inserting him, in fact, as an artist.

Questions / Song playback
« on: January 17, 2024, 10:26:51 AM »
I've noticed a change in the way I play songs sequentially.
Whichever way you set playback, this happens:
1) playback of all tracks from the same album
2) I move, while listening to the first album, to another without selecting anything.
3) once the song is playing, go to the first song of the album I was just looking at
4) plays the song and then stops
In practice, if you don't stay on the album being played you can't listen to it in its entirety.
I have MB version 3.6.8778
In the playback preferences I always left the following checked: clear list and play album only.
In fact, when I select the first song of the album in the playlist it puts all the songs from the album but when you go to another album it adds the first song to the queue, plays it and then stops.
In previous versions it doesn't seem to have this behavior.
Before saying it's a bug, I ask, does this seem normal to you?

this should behave as expected

Okay! Resolved!! Now it is no longer selected automatically.
A thousand thanks

That is the expected behaviour
Sorry, but that's not possible!! Maybe we didn't understand each other!!!
Did the translator not work properly?
I'll try to explain myself another way

1) I change the "origin" tag in an asx song


Just to clarify, the colored squares helped me understand when the problem occurs.
If it is yellow-red it means that the origin asx tags are correct: it is an asx with the correct origin URL
If it is only yellow, the source URL is missing or incorrect
If it's green it's simply an mp3

2) safe

3) deselect the previous one and select two different songs, even from another album always asx and change the album tag, for example, not the "origin" tag, I don't even see that.


Note that flag on the origin tag is checked, it shouldn't be and I didn't check it

4) safe

5) result: the origin tag has been deleted from the last two songs I edited.

In practice, the origin tag always remains selected after a change has been made to it and remains so until you manually deselect it or close and reopen MB.
I don't know how to explain it more precisely but it is a very annoying event.

I cannot reproduce the issue except if what you did was ticked the "origin" checkbox and the value was blank. If that's what you did its not a bug.

I understood how the error occurs.
When you insert data into the origin tag the flag selects itself and remains so until you remove the selection manually.
So when you make multiple changes to other tags, the entire "origin" tags of the selected fields is deleted.
Unless you remember to go to uncheck.

Bug Reports / Mb loses references to the main song in ASX files
« on: January 05, 2024, 04:31:34 PM »
I have created some collection albums using asx files.
When editing a tag, when you select multiple songs to edit at once, mb erases all references to the main song.
Basically delete this: <ref href="" />.
While everything else seems to remain in place.
I'm using version: 3.6.8758

Questions / File asx
« on: January 03, 2024, 09:11:05 AM »
I created an album of songs of which half of the songs were already present in the library.
To avoid having duplicates I created some asx files inserted in the album folder among the mp3 ones.
Everything OK. The song is performed from the actual one in mp3 but...
The <param name = "Custom 1" value = "exemple" /> command is not read. I also tried to put the name, subtitle aulbum, that I gave to that custom but nothing.
For the duration of the song you need to take the minutes, multiply by 60 and add the seconds. The obtained value must be inserted into <param name = "Length" value = "244000" /> and is found to be 4 minutes and 04 seconds.
It all becomes very difficult and time consuming to do.
It would be nice if starting from a song there was a command like: Create asx file. With the possibility of directly inserting new tags to identify another album.

My intent was to have software that was not exclusively a cataloger of songs but contained other information that could be quickly consulted.
It's true with one click you can access a variety of information on different sites. I myself have inserted automatic calls to pages of Last FM or DiscoGs and others in the internet preferences.
It's like this today but in the future? This information, which is so easy to find today, could become subject to charges.
When was Elvis Presley born? €5 or $5 whenever you want to know.
Extreme example but...
Not only!!! In Italy (the third technological world) not everyone can enjoy the internet. For example, I go online with a cellular SIM in a router that brings me 30Mb of speed, not always, sometimes it doesn't work at all.
It's disappointing to search for something online and see the No Internet Connection message.
So having an internal property database I don't find it to be a bad idea.
In any case I take note of the will of the people.

You could enter the data manually or with a button download the data from the network.
What data exactly, and with what 'button'?
I wonder if you're making fun of me.
I hope it's the translator's fault!!!!

What data? Tags?
Name of the artist, Alias, Date of birth, date of death, age (which the program could easily calculate), nationality, a link to the site, if it is a group, a single singer and finally a field to insert the complete biography. Possibly a simple table to insert the discography.
The button? Do you want me to write you the source in machine language?

Same as you, I am only sharing my opinion.
I still don't see (m)any users putting in the effort to manually populate all sorts of artist related tags for the artists in their libraries.
And for that reason I don't think it is worth the time and effort of the developer to try and implement something like this.
What tags are there in the program that refer to the artist?
There is currently only one container, not even a tag, that contains the entire text of the bio.
If they are present they will be hidden!!!!
It is clear that no one tries to populate tags that do not exist.

Also I find the wish a bit vague and general.
Maybe if you would be able to propose something that is more clear and specific, and what would be easier to use I could change my mind.
Do you want it to be precise?
Does this image taken from helium clarify your ideas?


This uses the manual system and the automatic system. See the download button?
If helium wasn't slow and complicated tag management it wouldn't be bad for the idea itself.

I can't be clearer than that. Unfortunately, by using a translator you cannot be sure that everything will be understood.

"Also I find the wish a bit vague and general"
For example, this sentence, translated, has no meaning for me.

Imagine an artist panel with an image of the artist at the top right and to the side and below all the data including the discography in which the owned discs are highlighted and can be recalled with a click.
There are already several ways to select an artist and then see what albums and tracks of him you have in your library.
Including having their pictures displayed.

But more importantly, here is a practical question:
How would you populate all the tags that you are suggesting that are important to link to an artist?
Manually? How many artists exist in your library?
And how many tags would you setup for artists?
Would you really be entering all of them for all your artists?

Of course I would use them.
Can the mixed system exist?
You could enter the data manually or with a button download the data from the network.
In any case, keep in mind that I am Italian and MB always finds biographies exclusively in English and therefore I find myself forced to find the biography in my language for each artist and paste it in the specific field.
Hard work but I'm doing it, calmly, but I'm doing it.
Among other things, MB often cannot find a biography for Italian singers due to spelling errors in the name. For example: Loredana Bertè (this is how it is written exactly) on iTunes it is written Loredanda Berte' and in the music explorer it does not exist under any circumstances, unless you write the name incorrectly.
It seems clear to me from the way biography is treated now that few people want to use it.
It would be enough for the programmer to add some fields related to the artist, not the music file.
Then the user could enter them in the info panel.
Of course it is a very long insertion job but it's easy to say that no one would do it and it doesn't mean that it has to be done in a short time. It's not like you're paid to do it. Collecting music is a hobby and the more data you can put in the more you increase the value for you who do it.
There are people who buy a smart TV but don't even have internet, indeed they believe that all the apps it contains are useless, precisely because they don't want to use them. Should we listen to these people?
Sorry but it's already difficult to express yourself through an AI translator, if someone then opposes an idea, it will never go forward.
I apologize for being long-winded
