MusicBee Wishlist / Lossless display of album art

« on: December 30, 2020, 03:36:42 AM »

Hi there, this is a long time wish of mine. TLDR: Add a check box to the main panel to display artwork uncompressed.

The super high res display of uncompressed artwork is VERY beautiful and I'd happily pay for this feature assuming it works without massively slowing down the prorgram. Perhaps it could compress them to double the artwork display size?

MusicBee Wishlist / Custom artwork cache size regardless of 'picture size'

« on: September 13, 2020, 09:53:14 AM »

Eg. Picture size is roughly 200px, but I can set the cache size to 400px regardless, this leads to much crisper, sharper and more visually pleasing imagery.

Thank you!

Questions / musicbee cache main panel artwork with zero compression

« on: April 24, 2020, 03:25:47 AM »

Is there a way to force musicbee to cache artwork with zero compression (or to force a cache size eg 200% larger than the display size)?
Linux based music players tend to do the former, and the crispness is VERY beautiful.
Thinking some kind of plugin might need to be written for this feature.

Questions / Organise track in a compilation to also display in artist folder w/ symlinks

« on: April 23, 2020, 08:30:57 AM »

Attempting to create complete artist discographies, I have the following naming-template
$First(<Grouping>)\<Year (yyyy)> - <Album Artist> - <Album>\<Disc-Track#> <Title>

Note the grouping tag, which is used to categorize artists. This is used as most artists tend to have a) work under an alias or b) tracks from albums where they aren't the album artist.

Here's an example:

album album
album artist various
tracks track1, track2
grouping compilation

This would be the folder structure

>music
>>compilation
>>>2020 - various - album
>>>>1-01 - track1
>>>>1-02 - track2

track1 also has the following grouping tag: compilation; artist1

In order to create a complete artist1 discography I would have track1 also display in their folder:

>>artist1
>>>2020 - various - album
>>>>1-01 - track1

Doesnt need to be symlinks, duplicates will be fine as well, although this would increase library size.

Any ideas how to achieve this (preferably) with complete automation?
