And I guess this has to be done manually each time? Can't make it search automatically like the last.fm plugin?

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: LastFM options regarding play count sync
« on: February 02, 2024, 09:53:19 AM »This is also my biggest gripe with musicbee at the moment.This has been addressed with a plug-in if the issue is important to you.
When I find a track I like in a compilation, I rate it. Then later, I may find the same track in an album of that artist, the rating doesn't follow but that's ok, it's easy to re-rate it.
The play count thing though is hella annoying as last.fm merge the two tracks play count but musicbee does not; play count is 1 for the new track.
This messes up all my auto play lists as well (and using the old track is bad 'cause they usually lack information like year etc.)
Great, thanks. Yeah it's pretty important to me, discovering new music is pretty much compilation-only for me.

Wow, thank you so much for this, my most requested feature finally!
Edit: Is it possible to do this for loved tracks too? I have some loved tracks that don't register as such in musicbee, despite being loved in last.fm. I've tried clearing my files, reinstalling the addon and more...nothing works, some tracks refuse to be loved in musicbee. I wonder if it's the same problem as the play count thing (that music bee query just 1 time for a specific information).

Questions / Loved tracks disappearing
« on: August 16, 2022, 10:49:15 AM »
Hi!
Some (but not all) of my loved tracks are 'unloved' again the next day I open up musicbee. I don't know why that is I can see in last.fm that they're still loved.
And it's not all tracks doing this either. This's been going on for years and I didn't cared about it too much since they're loved in last.fm after all, but now I want to incorporate the 'loved' marker in my sorting of auto playlists...so I need musicbee to correctly mark tracks as loved.
What could be the issue here? I've tried removing and reinstalling the module/extension/whatever it's called and login again but to no avail...
Edit: Assuming this'll work out, how do I go about my custom sorting with different combinations of ratings and loved status:
5 star + loved
4.5 stars+ loved
4.5 stars
4 stars and loved
4 stars
etc.
I've been experimenting with virtual tags but I've no idea what the syntax (if/and) is.

Ok a bit strange it happens nearly always but at least I now know it's outside the programs control.

Not sure this is a bug but what the heck is this?
I literally can't change my library!

Questions / Re: Can't connect to Last.fm
« on: January 13, 2021, 10:01:21 AM »+1 on this, exactly the same situation.
The plugin worked correctly before, but I had to reinstall MusicBee on a clean Windows install, and it stopped scrobbling. I have re-checked login details several times, re-installed MusicBee, everything.
Latest MusicBee, Windows 10 20H2.
What I did to fix it, is go to my account settings, find MusicBee in the "Applications" tab, and clicked "Disconnect".
I then re-connected inside MusicBee, and it started to scrobble correctly.
Just want to say this solved the issue I had too (I changed my last.fm username).

Questions / Managing Duplicates
« on: November 22, 2020, 06:32:03 PM »
Hi,
Are there some preference or tweak I can make so that I take action on a duplicate file that is the newest in the library (or even better the file I first listened to) - rather than the oldest?
For instance I have music file A, that I've listened to, rated it and it's in my playlists. I then listen to a compilation that happens to include file A again (or rather, the same song/artist) - if I manage duplicates, all actions will be made on the original file, not the newest. I hate this! Because then I have to rate the newer file again, instead of just deleting it.
Is there a solution to this problem? Can't find any option in duplicate manager to handle the newest file, not the oldest.
Maybe this isn't even a problem for anyone other than me?

Questions / Re: Save tracks in auto-playlist
« on: November 10, 2020, 03:18:24 PM »Well this is what I'm doing at the moment, manually picking folders (not the entire library) to sync as well as the static playlist. So I have to basically structure my folders after playlists and reshuffle files inside those folders. I don't want to do that.
You don't need to do that if the tracks you want are already in an auto playlist. Just select the playlist to sync, MusicBee will take care of the rest.
I use Resilio sync. Is there a Musicbee tool for syncing files with external devices?

Questions / Re: Save tracks in auto-playlist
« on: November 10, 2020, 09:07:56 AM »This sounds like you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. If you just select the playlist(s) you want to sync in the sync settings (not "all music" or any folders), then only those files will be synced. The playlist is too, but that shouldn't make much difference.
Is there some reason that won't work for you?
