Just a quick update to this, the functionality I'm after works okay in 3.4.7628 P, but is broken in 3.4.7691 P as mentioned above.

Questions / Track Information Formatting

« on: January 23, 2021, 03:03:27 PM »

Hi All,

I'm currently running 3.4.7691 P on Windows 8.1 and after looking at the threads below, I'm attempting to smarten up my track information:

https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=30472.0
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=24595.0

These are my track information details:

Code

{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;7} {font: default}{contrast: 70}<Title>
{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;7} {font: default}{contrast: 70}<Artist>
{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;7} {font: default}{contrast: 70}<Album>
{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;7} {font: default}{contrast: 70}<Year>;{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;8} {font: default}{contrast: 70}<Comment>;{contrast: 70}<Genre>
{contrast: 70}Track $If(<Track#><10,$Split(<Track#>,0,2),<Track#>) of <Track Count>;{contrast: 70}Disc <Disc#>$If(<Set Subtitle>!=""," ["<Set Subtitle>],) of <Disc Count>
$IsNull(<Artists: Performer>,,{font: Segoe UI Symbol;Regular;7}" "{font: Noto Sans Cond;Regular;9}{contrast: 70}<Artists: Performer>)

I believe this is all okay. Although I'd like <Title>;<Artist>;<Album> on one line but any content that's too long in any one of the tags doesn't wrap, even without the font markup and the max row span on 99.

The problem I'm having is my existing works in some instances, but in others it doesn't. See the examples.



Am I doing something wrong/daft? Or is this expected behaviour? Or is what I'm after just not currently possible?

Thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / Remove silence on Rip

« on: January 10, 2021, 12:41:54 PM »

Hi,

Would it be possible to add an option to remove a selected amount of silence when ripping from CD. Currently any CD that I rip with silence I use Foobar as it has this feature.

I know I can use mpcut  or Audacity, which I've used in the past to split tracks. But this would a useful addition and would remove the need for any additional post process.

Regards,
Voodoopunk

Sussed it, it seems the following is needed to prompt for 24 Bit when ripping:

The plug-in on its own does not suffice, the hdcd.exe is required in the Musicbee folder.

Related?

Assuming you have the plug-in installed and it's active:

Hi frankz,

Thanks for the response, I did read that post earlier regarding theDSD woes and thought it might be related. I'm not running Windows 10 though.

I do now have the plugin installed and enabled. I did it immediately after posting. For some reason I assumed it was included as I don't have any recollection of installing the plug-in on the installer version.

But, even with the plug-in installed and activated as per the instructions, there's still no HDCD prompt when ripping.

Questions / Portable Version + HDCD

« on: January 07, 2021, 12:34:00 PM »

Hi All,

As per the subject, I've recently (some time late last year) updated to using the portable version of Musicbee 3.3.7491 P after having used the installer version for quite a few years. When I pop a CD that's HDCD into my drive, the remastered version of Siren by Roxy Music I cannot get Musicbee to recognise it as HDCD, not when ripping as there's no HDCD prompt as there used to be, or by playing.

Does this mean ripping HDCD's can no longer be ripped as 24 bit by Musicbee?

Thanks

Tips and Tricks / Re: How to use the sub-grouping header

« on: November 25, 2020, 12:38:35 PM »

Despite not being able to figure out how to use quotes correctly. I've found that the rule I've used from further up in this topic allows the use of grouping certain tracks from a single disc too, as per the following https://www.discogs.com/Violent-Arrest-Life-Inside-The-Western-Bloc/release/7029904

Hi All,

Maybe a daft question, but I haven't seen anything about this, is there a way to have similar style disc names in the tracks view?

Thanks

The "Group By" option might be able to do this?

Got it, you're correct  adding the relevant code after my already existing grouping tag did the trick.

You don't also have auto-organize on, do you?

Good call.

That's it, yes I do. Such an obvious answer. I've also changed the naming template there. And now it all works a treat.

Fantastic, thanks for your help.
