Questions / Re: multiple search and replace for multiple tracks

« on: March 01, 2018, 03:15:10 AM »

Thank you for all the responses.
I am having limited success with Advanced Search and Replace.
It can't tell the difference between 1A and 11A, apparently.
It seems I am getting a major program error every other time I select Advanced Search and Replace option.
I'll post the error when it happens again.

Questions / multiple search and replace for multiple tracks

« on: February 26, 2018, 11:59:20 PM »

Hello,
I am trying to update a tag in multiple tracks, but the update information is dependent on what is initially in the tag before it is changed.

The tag is Initial Key and the entry will vary from 1A (1B, 2A, 2B, and so on) to 12B.

If the original Initial Key tag entry is 1A, then I would like to replace it with "1A / A♭ Minor".
If the original Initial Key tag entry is 1B, then I would like to replace it with "1B / B Major", and so on.

Is there a way to automate this process with Advanced Search and Replace?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Questions / Re: <Channels> in column browser

Thank you so much for response.
I was actually able to accomplish what I wanted by creating a custom tag called Channel Type.
The custom tag either has the string 'Stereo' or 'Joint Stereo' and is in a column browser section.

Hello,
Is there a way to add a column that show the files that are Stereo and Joint-Stereo?
I can't seem to get it to work.
Thank you in advance.

Questions / Re: Randomly play all tracks in a library

« on: February 17, 2018, 12:52:41 AM »

I guess it won't be easy especially if most songs are only by a few artists. To randomize it, I think you need to get the library (playlist) more even in the number of songs per artist.

I think I may have found a workaround.

In Auto-DJ, I click the Start DJ button which lists the tracks in the Upcoming Tracks section.
I have set 'gap before the same artist can repeat:' as 1.
I select all the tracks and add them to a new playlist.
I right-click on the new playlist and select List > Remove Duplicates.
The artists that have the most songs seem to placed further down in the playlist, while the ones with the fewest are more towards the top.
The same artist doesn't seem to repeat back to back, but skips 1 towards the end of the playlist.

Questions / Re: organizing/moving files by bitrate (less than 320kbps CBR)

« on: January 27, 2018, 04:02:02 AM »

Exactly.
I was only think short-term, but I like your long-term solution.
Thank you again for the suggestion.

Thank you for the reply and for the suggestion.
I was actually able to come up with a solution.

The File Organizer tool actually an option to add exceptions.

I used Bitrate between a range of 2 values and also added Encoding Quality between a range of 2 values.
I also had to add the folder path (where the VBR files would be moved to) in the naming template.

It seems to have worked.

MusicBee and this forum are awesome!

Questions / organizing/moving files by bitrate (less than 320kbps CBR)

« on: January 27, 2018, 12:27:07 AM »

Hello,
I was wondering if its possible to organize (move) tracks based on their bitrate via the Organise Files tool.   
I have many files that vary from 128kbps to 319kbps, as well as some that are VBR.
My plan is to replace the files that are less than 320kbps with the 320kbps version of the file (when I find ,rip-and-convert, or purchase it).

The folders I have created are as follows:

200-319 kbps (also including the VBR files that fall within 200-319kbps )
0-200 kbps

Other than manually sorting the files via bitrate column and manually moving to them to the folders, is there a way to automate this process?


I'm open to other suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello,
Is there a custom tag or virtual tag that would store the key (example: A major or A minor) that a song is in?

Thank you in advance.

Questions / a filter using Regex to find explicit lyrics

« on: January 12, 2018, 01:47:25 AM »

Hello,
I am trying to create a filter that will find songs in a library with explicit lyrics (like ass, but not the word glass). How do I use Regex to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for your replies.
