Questions / Musicbee deletes Folder.jpg files
« on: February 21, 2017, 11:30:59 PM »
Why is MB deleting the folder.jpg from my music folders everytime I change info using the tag editor. This happens if I change any tags for the entire album (artist, genre etc...). I haven't even changed anything using the artwork editor. Now I'm missing countless files. Why is this happening?


*edit: no longer missing - I found them all in the recycle bin. Still would like to know why MB is doing this.

MusicBee Wishlist / Collapsable folders for playlists
« on: February 16, 2017, 06:59:22 PM »
I know this has been mentioned before. When you have a large number of playlists (100+) it is aggravating to scroll through the whole list constantly. Please allow for playlist folders (in the playlist manager) to collapse so that these lists won't be so long.

Perfect, thanks.  :)

So then I would have to manually enter the info into the custom tag for each track? :(  Or, is there a function/formula I could use to achieve this? (Basically adding a "0" to to all single-digit track#s)

So, I've finally decided to start using the auto-org feature, but I've come to a bit of a barrier early on. The basic template I prefer is:

1-02. Lone Wolf In A Heavy Snow

So the disc-track# format I use to organize my files is 0-00. However for the purpose of displaying my music within MB, I much prefer the disc-track# format to be 0-0. To me this looks much cleaner.

How can I set up the naming template to use a different disc-track# format than what is used for display purposes within MB?

Bug Reports / All playlist folders gone after latest update.
« on: August 07, 2016, 02:01:44 AM »
I just ran the latest update (MusicBee_Setup_3_0_6053) from the Latest Version thread. Now all the folders are gone from the playlist manager. There is just 1 long list of playlists. The folders are still there in the navigation panel, but not in the manager. Was this an intentional change? If so, how could I revert to the previous version?

MusicBee Wishlist / Problems with Display Artist tags
« on: July 27, 2016, 07:21:25 PM »
Here I have changed the display artist. This means the Display Artist and Artist tags have different values and there is an asterix* in the Artist heading:


But once the track is scanned (send to>file rescan), MB changes the <Artists> info to read the same as the Display Artist and the asterix* in the heading dissappears:


So in the example above, the tags are still correct when viewing them in the tag inspector. However the Artist value in the multiple tag splitter has changed. This value determines the field <Artists> (not <Artist>), and this behavior is messing up several of my virtual tags. It reads "Porya Hatami" instead of "Porya Hatami & Lee Anthony Norris" as in the first pic. I wan't the tags to stay as in the first pic.

Any thoughts what could be causing this?

NOTE: Assuming that this is correct behavior, what field can I use to display the actual artist shown in the tag inspector (in this case "Porya Hatami & Lee Anthony Norris")? <Artist>, <Artists>, <Artists: Artist> all display "Porya Hatami". <Artist Display> is empty, as MB continues to delete it.

Questions / Auto-playlist numbering includes grouping headers
« on: July 26, 2016, 07:23:38 PM »
Is there a reason this happens? Is there a way to avoid this or is it worth requesting a change in the wishlist?

Here is an auto-playlist with grouping headers. The first track is listed as #2 because the headers seem to be counted as tracks in the playlist:


Here is the exact playlist copied to a normal list. The track numbers here are correct:

Often in dropdown lists the items are cut off and can't be read because the list is too narrow. I would like to see some sort of pop-up to display the full text.
(Or any other solution that works)

Here's a menu in the playlist editor. I can't tell which view I'm selecting because the text is cut off:


Here's an example of a pop-up to read full text in the main panel. I thought something like this could be a solution for the above problem:

working here and looks great, thanks.

I've noticed with my classic:

when syncing any tracks which have a different value for AlbumArtist and Artist, the tracks go to "Compilations" in the ipod. This happens even though "iTunes compilation" checkbox is not checked in the settings, and no compilation tags are present. This does NOT happen with iTunes. iTunes simply places the tracks/album together with the other tracks from that same AlbumArtist regardless of what the Artist value is.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any thoughts as to why it happens?

Thanks.

Questions / Re: Very strange custom tag problem
« on: June 05, 2016, 04:46:49 PM »
Yep, problem stayed.  I decided to completely strip the tracks of all tags (using Mp3Tag), and re-write them all. After importing them, the same thing happened. However, I then renamed the files and re-imported. This time it worked!  I have no idea why the file name would make a difference. It's like MB "remembered" the old tags no matter how many times I removed them, until I re-imported them from a different location. Anyway, it's working now, but I think I'll backup the MB database just to be safe after this odd behavior. Thanks for your input.

I don't see why/how MB would be auto-writing these tags. I have never used this feature before. The thread you linked describes a process I have never used and have no understanding of. Also, I just imported this album. It has never been in itunes or on my ipod.

Questions / Re: Very strange custom tag problem

If you mean the equalizer preset in the settings tab in the tag editor, then no. Is there another place I should be looking? Why would it only be affecting this album? I've also noticed that 2 tags are automatically being created for these tracks:

REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN
REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK

MB is creating these automatically. They weren't there when I imported the album. I can delete them, but MB just recreates them again immediately.

Questions / Very strange custom tag problem
« on: June 05, 2016, 02:55:21 PM »
For all the tracks on 1 of my albums, MB automatically writes a coded value for the Custom 9 tags, which reads something like 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA 00000EDA. In the tag settings, it is set to "save to MB database only".

-no matter what I do I can't get the value of this tag to to change or delete the value.
-I have tried creating id3 tags for this custom tag (TXXX/CUSTOM 9) and deleting them in the tag inspector, but they still reappear.
-I can successfully delete/edit the id3 tags using MP3Tag, however MB just auto rewrites the tag value again as soon as ANY changes are made to tags for those tracks.
- I have tried removing the tracks completely and re-importing them but MB does the same thing again.

All the other tags for these tracks seem to be working fine ( I can delete them or change their values). This custom tag works fine (empty) with all other tracks in my library. Thoughts?
