Portable Devices / Re: Import GoneMAD stats.xml into MusicBee

« on: August 01, 2021, 04:50:04 PM »

I think SAF can be used to find and read stats.xml on Android 11.
The app needs to ask an user to specify the file location, but it can get file access except for some directories, such as root directory and download directory.

Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

« on: March 14, 2021, 03:49:03 PM »

I recently started using musicbee wifi sync. It does a great work for transferring songs from MB. But reverse syncing of playcounts and ratings doesn't seem to work. I've tried it on two devices, Android 8 and Android 10, so the problem isn't an OS-dependent issue. These are error logs. Any help appreciated.

Code

I have the unlocked version of GoneMad and stats.xml is generated(/storage/emulated/0/gmmp/stats.xml). I think musicbee wifi sync can't find it on certain devices. How about allowing users to specify a statistics file using the file picker?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried the patch, but the issue was not solved.
Synchronization stops after all.

Questions / Filters about inconsistent sort tags

« on: December 06, 2017, 06:08:39 PM »

Hello.
I have a question on using sort tags.

I have written sort tags to all files since I was using itunes.
When MusicBee finds a sort tag, it is written in sort database (custom sort values for individual artists, composers and albums), but it isn't written if sort it is the same value as the original tag.
So when extracting files by filters about inconsistent sort tags (Tools >> Tagging Tools >> Other 'Files to Edit' Filters >> Show Files with Inconsistent Sort Tags), it extracts a large number of files whose artist tag has the same value as sort artist tag.

e.g.
1.
Artist = AAAA
Sort Artist = BBBB
written in custom sort values
 -> OK

2.
Artist = AAAA
Sort Artist = 'empty' (AAAA with gray letters)
not written in custom sort values
 -> not extracted as inconsistent

3.
Artist = AAAA
Sort Artist = AAAA
not written in custom sort values
 -> extracted as inconsistent



I think 3rd example is unnatural and have too many such files.
How should I do to exclude them when extracting inconsistent files.
Or could you change the specifications?

Hello. I can't find the API for v3.1.
Can I use the API to set sort tags?

Bug Reports / Goto Playing Track at Source

« on: April 28, 2017, 07:43:01 PM »

"Goto Playing Track at Source" doesn't work well from 3.1.6275.

Playing track remains hidden outside the main panel (album and tracks layout) if playing track is on the bottom of the list.

Playing track is selected but The list doesn't scroll to the correct position.

When I double click on the title on the player control, the same bug occurs.

MusicBee API / RetrieveLyrics

« on: August 30, 2015, 08:13:36 AM »

Hi

I want to use TrackTitle, Artist and AlbumArtist to retrieve lyrics.

public string RetrieveLyrics(string sourceFileUrl, string artist, string trackTitle, string album, bool synchronisedPreferred, string provider)

RetrieveLyrics doesn't support AlbumArtist and I tried to get AlbumArtist from sourceFileUrl.
But sourceFileUrl always returns null.

Any help appreciated

MusicBee Wishlist / Sort Setting

« on: February 01, 2015, 10:16:59 AM »

I have used sort tags(Artist Sort-Order, Album Artist Sort-Order, Album Sort-Order, Title Sort-Order, Composer Sort-Order) in iTunes. I'd like to sort by sort tags against displayed real name.

Custom sorting sets are very useful, but sorting by such tags requires few steps. It'll be more convenient to refer available sort tags when clicking column title.
How about having a setting in preferences about whether to use sort tags or not?
