Questions / Add-On to Skip Songs?

« on: March 23, 2023, 04:21:04 PM »

hi, is there any add on that can skip tracks based on some tag info - for example keywords in the track title?

@Dalinar:
You can create an auto-playlist, see this screenshot.
Just adjust the limit (25 in my example) to your preference.

I have implemented it as per your screenshot. Works great. I'm wondering though why limiting it is necessary? If I uncheck the limit then the results look pretty much random or at least not related to what I'm trying to do. It works even better if I change it from limiting tracks to albums.

I definitely would have been stumped by the Play Count > 0 bit

well I just figured someone who was experienced with musicbee would know how to do it.

something that might take someone 5 minutes to write in a message might take me an hour to try to figure out, there are a lot of settings available.

Questions / Bookmarking spots in a music file?

Is there a way to tag for future reference (maybe make notes too) a spot within a music file? I mean bookmark a time or at least mark a time.

Hi, is there a way to view History in terms of Albums,  not songs?

OR

Can I make a separate playlist tab view, whatever you call those tab things, to put next to my History tab that would show me the most recent songs I have played (as Albums) ?

Questions / Smart Playlist Request:

Hi, how would I make a Smart Playlist to show:

## 1. sorted by most recent
2. all songs I have rated higher than 4 stars
3. limited to artist containing these words or starting with these words.. also what if I want to include several specific artists?

## Alternative version

same as above but using album ratings

now my next problem - sometimes I see a cool random album pop up (actually I listen to live shows and I have zillions - but for all intents and purposes they are "albums") and I might want to listen to it later.

What would be the best way to save it for later? Add it to some kind of playlist I guess? What's the best way to do that?

thanks! the key was "select by album", I didn't see that before and interpreted when you first wrote selected by album to mean to set "has a value" to "Album"

Questions / Tray Icon - Single Click - is it configurable?

« on: December 14, 2022, 09:19:28 AM »

is there a way to set the single click on the tray icon to load the context menu?

I really use the context menu a lot (mostly for rating songs and for setting volume)

I just tried it and it only showed 1 song.. so edited the auto playlist and saw that "item" was selected and changed that to "album".

However, it still only shows 1 song.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Questions / Random listening to albums

« on: December 12, 2022, 03:01:40 PM »

I'm sorry I forgot what these tabs are called at the top of program, they are like pages. Anyhow I'll call them a page. They contain music. For example I have some that are dedicated just to certain bands.

I'm wondering, is there a way to choose a random album to listen to just from one of these pages?
