Questions / Naming convention for compilations with several different album names?

« on: April 09, 2024, 02:04:31 PM »

Hello! I just recently ripped a CD box that includes four discs - all with their own names. How do I have their name reflected in MusicBee while also having the compilation grouped as one?

I found this thread briefly touching on the subject, but in the case discussed the discs had the same album name (If you use Album Name Disk 1 and Album Name Disk 2 MB will show it as two different albums. Use the same Album Name for each disk and use the DISK # tag to identify each disk of the set.").

My CD box have an album name for each disc, like so:

Various - Main Title
CD 1: Main Title - Subtitle 1
CD 2: Main Title - Subtitle 2
CD 3: Main Title - Subtitle 3
CD 4: Main TItle - Subtitle 4

While I usually go the "same album name with DISC # tags" route, in this case I want their subtitles to be reflected as well. Is that possible?

MusicBee Wishlist / Custom background images per playlist folder

« on: October 01, 2022, 08:51:03 AM »

Hi u guise!  
I wish I could add custom background images per playlist folder now that we can have custom headers and playlist icons. You know, to tie it all together even further? Here's a screenshot of two folder views, where the background fits nicely in one and not so much in the other. What if the custom background image wasn't set globally? Is it possible?

Have a great weekend!

Questions / Custom background images per playlist folder?

« on: September 29, 2022, 03:32:20 PM »

Yes henlo!
I've been using a custom background image in my main panel through Preferences -> Layout(1) ->  Main panel "use custom background image", and just the other day I noticed we can now have different headers for different playlists (or as in my case, playlist folders). This is awesome and after some experimenting had me wondering, how do I make the custom background image different for each playlist folder? Now that I have custom headers, the background image doesn't always fit that well and I can't find a way to have it change from playlist folder to playlist folder.

MusicBee Wishlist / EQ panel

« on: January 16, 2021, 12:09:36 PM »

Tallyho my friends!
I wish the equalizer pop-up could be added to a panel instead of just being a pop-up. I've seen others talk about this in other parts of the forum but I didn't see it in the latest 10 pages of the wishlist. Perhaps someone has already written a plugin that enables this and I'm just blind as a bat?

This is roughly how I'd love to be able to incorporate the EQ:


All the best,

Bug Reports / Crash at startup

« on: August 06, 2019, 11:36:00 AM »

Hello! Thanks for the best music player I've ever used (long time user and fan here). I recently got my first ever problem with MusicBee, which is that it crashes during startup. I can see the interface for just about three seconds (unresponsive) and then it closes - no error message. That's also why I can't go into Help -> Support -> View settings file to retrieve that information. I have used Windows own log and it claims ntdll.dll (in System32) is the problem.

My OS:
Windows 10, build 1903

My MusicBee:
Version 3.3.7115, always run as administrator

Things I've tried:
Reboot (fixes it for a while but then the problem comes back)
Installing Update 1 (didn't make a difference)
Ran Windows Update (fixed it until a reboot, then the problem came back)
Re-installed MusicBee (didn't make a difference)

I'll revert to an older version for the time being since this problem only occurs with the new version.
