Questions / A question about 'encode quality' tags

« on: January 07, 2016, 03:14:54 PM »

Just curious, is there any way to get MB to display CBR rates for the 'encode quality' field? It only seems to display VBR rates (V0,V2,V9 etc...). Not sure if this is normal.

Questions / Fields displayed below/right of artwork

« on: January 07, 2016, 02:45:32 PM »

I would prefer not to have any fields displayed below the album artwork, as in the pic:

After a restart of MB, the settings automatically change. The album field is displayed:

 I do not want this as I have the album as my header already. Why is this happening? Is there a way to correct this. I would find it very strange that MB makes this display mandatory.

Questions / MusicBee changing the name of all my files!

« on: January 02, 2016, 12:44:17 PM »

When I add podcast files to the MB library, it is automatically changing the name of the file. Not the tags but the name of the file on my PC. This is unacceptable as I have my own naming system consistant for all my media files. Also I have other applications which now can't open the files as they now have new names. Why is this happening?

Questions / Splitting track list into 2 columns

« on: January 02, 2016, 12:36:42 PM »

I realize this is probably a long shot, but is there any way to view the track listings (along with chosen fields) in 2 columns? (Kind of like itunes does) Or, is there a skin that does this?
I have some albums, especially some audiobooks, that have hundreds of tracks, and splitting in 2 columns is a more efficient use of space and reduces scrolling to search for tracks.

Questions / Date/Time Tags

« on: December 31, 2015, 06:44:02 PM »

Is there any way to exclude the time part of the episode date field (TDRL). In the tag editor there is no time displayed at all, just the date. Where is MB getting the time info from?

I should add that MB does NOT display a time if only the year is in the date field, however as soon as a month is entered, the time also appears. I'm confused.

Questions / Edit sub-group header

Is there a way I can change the 'Disc#' subgroup header to read "Disc 1", "Disc 2" etc... instead of just displaying the number only? See image:

Questions / Track ordering with Sort By Year/Album

« on: December 29, 2015, 09:44:55 PM »

How does MB sort tracks using Sort By Year/Album if the track# field is empty? It seems pretty random, not alphabetically.

Questions / Episode Date missing for all Podcast episodes in iPod Classic

« on: December 28, 2015, 01:24:23 PM »

Is there a reason none of the podcast episode dates are displayed for my iPod classic? They are all listed in my library, but not in the ipod. In itunes, they are displayed, just MB is displaying the date field as blank in the column. Oddly, the date is there when I open the tag inspector. It's just empty in the main display/column.

Is there some way to delete selected episodes from the library? It seems that the only option is to remove the entire podcast subscription?

Questions / Podcast Questions

« on: December 26, 2015, 07:39:12 PM »

In the podcast list there are greyed-out episodes which are available for download.

-Is it possible to remove these?
-Is it possible to download only the selected episode? I tseems to only allow all the selections to download.
-Is it possible to control how the file is named (not tagged)? Ex. <date> <title>

Thanks.

Questions / HOW FRUSTRATING!!!!

« on: December 25, 2015, 06:36:44 PM »

All my podcasts are in some random order. Many were DELETED from my folders (good thing i have backups)! Absolutely no way to customize podcast views/orders. Too bad, I was so hopeful after loading in my library but obviously the podcast function of music bee is completely useless. I have thousands of podcasts and all were 100% in order of release date in itunes. Now a complete mess after importing my itunes library.
