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.

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

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 / Save tracks in auto-playlist

« on: November 09, 2020, 04:50:24 PM »

Hi,
I sync music files in my PC with my phone. They're getting too many for my microSD so I want to reduce it to only having files in my auto playlists.
What I'm wondering now if there's a function/smart-method to save/export all the tracks in my auto playlists to, for instance, a separate folder that I can later sync?

Right now I sync big chunks of folders at a time, many containing tracks that aren't in an auto playlist because they have too low rating (what my auto playlists are primarily based on). The auto playlist itself isn't synced of course but a static export of it; I look at what's in there and sync my folders based on that. What I want is to also auto-export the files themselves and not just the playlist. Would be awesome and save allot of data (and time) for me 


Thanks for answering!

Questions / bass.dll / Musicbee notworking

« on: October 22, 2019, 07:17:20 AM »

Hi this is no actual bug but,
On my work computer, Avecto/McAfee/somethingelse is blocking bass.dll I think. Musicbee doesn't work, can't play anything regardless of Windows store edition or Installer.
I get this error message (in swedish unfortunately)



What to do? I don't have Admin rights to close those 'security apps' and don't think requesting this to IT-support will be productive.
