Questions / can i store on the tag playcount in the field PLAY_COUNT ?
« on: October 30, 2018, 07:17:37 PM »
Hi
can i store on my music tag playcount with this tag PLAY_COUNT ?

i have read carefull
https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/How_to_save_Play_Count_to_music_files_as_tag

&
https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Additional_Tagging_and_Reporting_Tools

but i have found an easy answer

1) i have songs with PLAY_COUNT set to 10 because in the past i have used foobar2000 , would like that musicbee increase this number

2)in the page i have found
Quote
MusicBee defaults to save play count of each track to MB database file only. But you can save play count to your music files as well and keep them auto-updated. You first need install Additional Tagging Tools plugin and enable it.

how can i keep them auto-update ?
i have followed step by step

thanks

Questions / Re: can i define artist field ? Exclude for example composer?
« on: October 14, 2018, 07:16:56 AM »
frankz is talking about processing multiple artists with the multiple artist splitter, which will allow musicbee to handle each artist separately in the column browser, while still displaying it however you want. you can find more info here: https://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Tagging#Multiple_Value_Tags
hi
but in the link i can't find the information i need
i guess i 't no possible
i would like to define the artist (for example only %artist% and no %albumartist% and %composer% )
so i will see only all the audio files with only the artist field
if i use the slip feature i will have 2 albums
thanks

Questions / can i define artist field ? Exclude for example composer?
« on: October 13, 2018, 06:55:58 AM »
Hi
i have searched around the forum without luck
i have spend yesterday in the musicbee preferences

for example customize the artist field and exclude composer

look in the screenshot under artist i have several composer under the artist

there is moby and down songs of the same album
if i click moby and album 18 , it misses the second track
because the second track is under Lana Michele Moorer/Moby/Richard M. Hall composer

i know in the search there is a customize fileds

but this happen when i browse my library without using the search feature

thanks

gaiastar:  so, the 0 byte tmp files were created right after you did the update to portable 3.2 over the existing portable 3.1 folder?  If you delete those manually do they come back and stay after exiting MusicBee?
yes after the update and yes if i delete them they does come back without changing MusicBee3Settings.ini

Quote
If the files now being created in c:\temp are being autodeleted when you close MusicBee, then all is operating normally
yes ,after i have added in MusicBee3Settings.ini <ENV_TempFolder>c:\temp</ENV_TempFolder> , musicbee creates 1 or more temp files and when i close musicbee , it deletes them

thank a lot for the support/help , really appreciate it

Hi gaiastar:  do the *.tmp files you are seeing get deleted when you exit MusicBee, or do they stick around?  If they aren't deleted, do they grow in size or number?  Since you just updated to 3.2, I'm wondering if some or all may be left over from the old version.

As redwing pointed out from Steven's older post, if for any reason you wanted to change the temp folder MB uses you can just insert the following code line into MusicBee3Settings.ini:

<ENV_TempFolder>c:\temp</ENV_TempFolder>

..where "c:\temp" reflects the name and path of the new folder (change as desired).
Hi Sveakul
well i can see musebee 3.2 can bypass my antivirus , worried about my antivirus but  happy because i can tag all my audio files with musicbee , in the past i had to use foobar or mp3tag

well i run the portable version and i upgrade (i run it ) and pointed to the same 3.1 folder

it creates several tmp files and it doesn't delete them , they are 0KB


but i have changed the MusicBee3Settings.ini
and i have added <ENV_TempFolder>c:\temp</ENV_TempFolder> with the notepad
i guess i should have used another program to edit the ini file maybe notepad++

i guess it should be added in the preferences , on a laptop (slow but with ssd) i have eset smart security premium isntalled and on the second laptop kaspersky internet security ,on both i added musicbee.exe in the exlusions list

now it creates 2 or more files in the c:\temp folder around 6 or 7 MB and it deletes when i close musicbee

the problem is when i try to tag many many files for example 100 files

and i have to test it better because mostly of my audio are in mp3 and flac format but i have ape ,alac and some opus for my smartphone

thanks a lot Sveakul

Maybe related to this: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=24756.0

If you encounter that issue again, I suggest you install a non-store version instead and use a custom temp folder setting.
hi

i don't use the windows store version , i use the portable version

i guess it still uses the temp folder  because i have lots of files in the windows temp folder called for example MusicBee_000001.tmp (with file size zero)

instead and use a custom temp folder setting
.
how can i setup a custom temp folder ?
can not find in the musicbee preferences

thanks

hi
i just update musicbee to version 3.2.6756

and i can rate and tag my songs

in the past it was a problem , to fix the problem i had to disable my antivirus -> my question about it in the forum


now with version 3.2.6756 i have no more issues , i can rate and tag

does Steven change the musicbee behavior ? i mean does musicbee write directly on the file without moving
Quote
The windows temp folder is used when recreating files as a result of tagging
?

or does musicbee use a different temp folder to recreating files as a result of tagging?

i have read the changelog but i have not find such informations

thanks
sorry for my poor english

Hi gaiastar,

You might want to investigate using a VST plugin compressor/limiter to achieve the non-distorted-sounding audio "push" you are looking for.

You will need to download/activate the MusicBee VST host plugin mb_vst.dll first, available at the MB plugins site here:

https://getmusicbee.com/addons/plugins/16/vst-effects-support/

Follow the directions at the link for install and setup.

Then be sure "bass_vst.dll" is also in your main MusicBee directory (it should already be there as it's in the regular MB install).

Finally you need to find a compressor/limiter VST plugin that is compatible with the mb_vst host.  The one I use (free!) is "Unlimited" from Sonic Anomaly, available here:
http://sonic.supermaailma.net/plugins

This free one also works well:
http://www.kvraudio.com/product/maxwell-smart-by-lively-audio

By using "Unlimited" I can get a nice audio push without using replaygain or normalization;  you might want to read up on compressors/limiters first before trying them out as wrong settings will just produce distortion.  Be aware that not all VST plugins will work correctly, or may crash altogether, when using the mb_vst host.

There is a dedicated forum thread for the MB VST plugin (in Plugins!) where you can ask any specific questions regarding its use:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=13022.0

I hope this helps.
hi
may i ask you 2 questions ?
1)
a friend of mine does use steinberg wavelab and cubase and use dmg limitess and voxengo elephant to make audio louder
does Unlimited does the same job?

2) i have seens wavelab (amazing software) but really to expansive for me
it does include several audio analisys  just a screenshot found on interent
Code
https://macprovid.vo.llnwd.net/o43/hub/media/1093/12053/main.jpg

like spectrom meter,spectro scope and so on ,do you think are there audio analisys vst that can i use with Musicbee?

thank you so much

hi
i really love musicbee
with the days and i forum i started how configure , at the beginning was hard

well , i guess that volume analisys is replaygain (track+album) ,just like foobar but replaygain sounds weak or let the audio tracks sound weak

on foobar ,(i was used to play music with foobar) i have used these settings to play music with replaygain tag and loud without clipping



i have search and try to find preferences and option in musicbee to obtain the same result

may i ask a question?
is there a way to pre-amp audio tracks with replaygain without clipping like the foobar screenshot?
when i used foobar was the only settings to let all the tracks sound loud without clipping

thanks

Questions / Re: last version 3.1.6585 and metadata issue anybody?
« on: January 15, 2018, 07:39:10 AM »
Hi

the problem for me started upgrading from 3.1.6512 to 3.1.6585 or using a fresh install of 3.1.6585
http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V3_2/MusicBee32_Patched.zip

i have downloaded the patchthe 3.2 and the problem disapears , now it works

i have download the link above and overwrite musicbee   3.1.6512 with  3.2.6588 , and now musicbee read all my tags

so my problem is realated to the last official version http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V3_2/MusicBee32_Patched.zip

when you updated to v3.2, did you replace the existing musicbee.exe or did you set up a new folder for v3.2?
if you set up a new folder, and referenced the old library then you will run into this sort of issue ie. you should replace musicbee.exe from the v3.1 folder or alternatively set up a new library for the v3.2 portable folder
hi
i have download all the portable zip file 12.802kb  ,and i update in the right folder overwriting all the files
i have tried to create a new portable version in another partition , import the audio files in this case , and they have no tags
weird because it happens with not all my music files
for example the new update does not read my audioslave albums but read correctly my radiohead album
it's very weird , mp3tag read them ,foobar too
i can post a screenshot of a new clean installation ,with my audioslave album tags missing
it's weird i know
these are screenshot of a new clean install , i have imported only 4 subfolders

and how you can see many songs have an exclamation point




thanks Steven

hi
1)
tag directly files without moving in the windows temp folder or at least add in the option the possibility to add/select a temp folder ,I really love musicbee under w7 i have no problem but with w10 even i have disabled every option of the antivirus when i play music with musicbee i got sometime the nasty windows message even when i try to rate a song

2)
a sound volume level analysis and boost the volume at the max ,something like aimp ,and it could be really very helpful & enjoyable playing old records like led zeppelin & an recent record , replaygain let sound weak

thanks

Questions / Re: why do i get this error when i tried to tag my songs?
« on: December 31, 2017, 06:43:25 AM »
about microsoft antivirus i can't find any option to esclude musicbee

Open Windows Defender Security Center> Virus & Threat protection> Virus & Threat protection settings> Exclusions
hi
i did it too , i create an exclusion in the hips ,nothing
i have to uninstall the antivirus
but all the software can write tags directly can't understand why musicbee should move in a temp folder to tag it
thanks
happy new year
