I believe there is an American English language file available

Oh, I see. I had checked the language setting and saw it said "English". Didn't realize that meant English UK. But now I see there's an "English (US)" selection.

MB3 v3.0.5874:

In the player controls (which is in the "top panel" in my setting), if I grab the volume slider marker and drag it to raise the volume, but then before I release the mouse button I continue to drag over to the Equalizer and DSP settings icon, and THEN release the mouse button, the Equalizer and DSP settings window will pop open. (The volume is correctly maximized however.)

And, once the Equalizer and DSP settings window is open, clicking the icon in the player controls again won't close the window like in MB 2.5. (Not sure if that was intentional behavior for MB3.)

Also, the word "Equalizer" is misspelled: on the window header is shows "Equaliser" - with an s instead of a z.

Taskbar Auto-Hide is now working for me when MusicBee is maximized.

Windows 7 x64: Autohide does not work (consistently) for me.

I'm on Win7 x64 and it seems consistent for me. (MB3 v3.0.5874).
Can you clarify what's not consistent for you? Perhaps I can repro it and verify for Steven?

set the header bar -> main menu "As Button" and tabs bar "below caption bar"

It works for me regardless of those settings on Windows 10. Can you test it?

Yes it does. Steven had originally suggested part of the work-around was "- in the panel layout, menu below caption bar and tabs below caption bar", so I went back to my original settings to verify the fix worked for my preference.

On Win7, my taskbar is at the bottom of my screen, and set to auto-hide. When MB's main window is maximized and focused, it prevents the taskbar from being brought up by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen where the taskbar is. I'm guessing there's something in MB that's trying to force it to be top-most window when focused?

This should be addressed for the next v3 update. But only for skinned window borders. I have tested this on windows7 and windows10 and would appreciate confirmation its working ok from anyone who has reported this issue

MB3 v3.0.5874:

Ah yes, it's all good now! I can tick the "Skin Window Borders", set the header bar -> main menu "As Button" and tabs bar "below caption bar", and now the Win7 taskbar performs correctly. Good work Steven! Many thanks!

i dont think there are any substantial issues i am aware of, so if there is some bug that you havent reported yet on the assumption it would get fixed then please report it now

Does that include only GUI issues, or may I  bring up the radio station import/export problems here?

Could you please make the radio station edit window persistent as well?

Bug Reports / [MB 3] Radio Station Export/Import not complete/correct

« on: January 08, 2016, 03:37:56 AM »

After spending a lot of time and effort to tidy up all of the data for all of my Radio Station entries, I wanted to sync the list to another PC. I was surprised when I discovered that I had lost a lot of information when I imported the list, and that's when I noticed that the xml file that's created when I export the radio station list isn't complete, and has missing and mislabeled fields.

When exporting:
* In the xml, the field labeled "category" is actually the genre. It also contains the format, bitrate, and the scrobble to Last.fm flag.
* The actual "category" data isn't exported at all.
* The "home page" data isn't exported.
* The "stream uses ascii encoding" flag isn't exported.
* The "automatically open the home page when station is playing" flag isn't exported.
* The picture associated with the radio station doesn't appear to be exported.
* The rating for the radio station is not exported.

When importing:
* The "category" field is parsed as [genre/format/bitrate/scrobble tracks to Last.fm flag] for the station, and the "Category" data is defaulted to "6".

Bug Reports / Re: [MB 3] Radio Station import doesn't work.

« on: January 07, 2016, 03:05:49 AM »

MB 3 v3.0.5849:

Well... that works, but there's a hitch.

With MB 3 not running, I deleted the WebCache.mbl file. Then I did the following test:
1. Start MB 3.
2. Deleted one of the radio stations in my list.
3. Imported my full radio station list (which contains all my radio stations, including the one I just deleted).

Result: The deleted radio station failed to show up in the list.

However...

If I close MB 3 and then start it again, and THEN import the same radio station list, the deleted radio station gets imported no problem.

Bug Reports / [MB 3] Radio Station import doesn't work.

« on: January 06, 2016, 12:19:38 AM »

MB 3 v3.0.5848

It appears that the Radio Station import isn't working. I can export to the xml file fine, but after deleting all the radio stations and attempting to import the just-exported xml file, nothing shows up. (If I go back to MB 2, I can import the exact same xml file just fine, and doing that also restores the radio station list in MB 3 as well.)

Note: I decided to re-post this bug report here since it dawned on me that this probably isn't a GUI issue in MB 3, and there doesn't appear to be a bug reporting form dedicated to MB 3 specifically. (Perhaps there should be?)

MB 3 v3.0.5848:

While listening to a radio station, the Cover Art will auto-fill in for the current song as expected. If I then change the Rating for that radio station, the Cover Art disappears, and "No Cover Art" is shown.

Regarding Preferences->Tags (1)->(artwork storage) Set Retrieval Filter->Album Artwork Retrieval Filter window:

Would it be incorrect for me to assume that clicking the button "Rescan Artwork" should first clear out the ArtistThumbs cache folder, then rescan the "artist pictures location" folder?

Right now it seems that it doesn't do this. I can place new (or update current) artist pictures in the folder, hit the rescan button, but the thumbs don't update. If I manually empty the cache folder and restart MB 3, it picks up the new/updated pictures perfectly.

p.s. I really like MB 3's overall GUI changes!

[Correction] I can get the thumb(s) to update by simply deleting them out of the cache, then hitting F5 to refresh MB 3. (I don't have to actually restart MB 3.) Still, I feel like the "Rescan Artwork" button should first clear the cache, or at least force the cached images to be recopied if a newer file is found in the artist picture location folder.
