Questions / Using Metadata

« on: October 13, 2016, 06:32:04 PM »

Hi all,
I got the idea to try a PowerShell script to automatically copy select music files to other folders based on Rating. Wasn't having any luck with a Rating filter but then noticed in explorer the metadata isn't there.  Rating, Title, genre, etc isn't seen when looking at a file's Properties through explorer.

In Preferences >> Tags(1), I have "store ratings in the music file" checked. Is the metadata just in the MusicBee db?  Can it get copied into the file so external tools can use it? And if Rating should get stored in music file, why doesn't explorer see it?  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance and keep up the grrrrrreat work!

Questions / Sequential number prefix

« on: February 28, 2016, 09:17:24 PM »

Just want to confirm (because I don't know if I did something that causes the difference in behavior)...

Send To | Folder (Copy) | Copy Files to Folder...

The filename is prefixed with a sequencial number if the source is a playlist but if the source is a filter, the filename is unchanged (no sequential number).  I don't see anything related to this when editing a playlist or filter but I'm guessing at why the behavior is different for the copy.  Can someone confirm please?

Questions / Album cover confusion

« on: February 25, 2016, 08:15:08 PM »

How are your music files organized?  With cover.jpg or any other generic filename, the cover will be applied to all files in the same folder, and will be over written when you save a new cover for that folder

I've seen cover.jpg and folder.jpg but never understood. I see cover.jpg in same folder as music files. So it holds 1 image? Is that the image used when no other is available?  What's the approach for saving the appropriate covers based on the separate albums?  Do they have to be stored in the same music files folder?
In Preferences | Tags(1) | artwork storage, the 3 checkboxes under downloaded album cover storage are unchecked. Artist pictures & soundtrack pictures have valid folder paths. There are images in Artist pictures but soundtrack folder is empty.

Why don't you start a new thread, with screenshots of your artwork settings, and maybe the artwork files on your drive?

is there a secret to embedding images in a post like this? Can't paste in here.

MusicBee Wishlist / Reset Column Lists

« on: June 18, 2014, 05:03:46 PM »

btw, great, great software.  my idea is for a button (assuming column browser is shown) that will automatically reset all displayed column browser lists to be set to "All" (to avoid having to check and set each one individually).  thanks
