Questions / Help with Custom Sort GROUPING tag
« on: October 25, 2022, 06:54:28 PM »
Hi there,

So I borrowed Beeliver's virtual tag coding to custom sort my groupings with the album cover view.  Now It only works when I first group by Artist and then subgroup by his virtual tag.  I also can't figure out if it's possible to center the grouping title with album cover view.

Here is the code I am using:

Virtual2 (Release GROUPINGS)
$If($First(<Grouping>)="G1","Studio Albums",$If($First(<Grouping>)="G1a",Soundtracks,$If($First(<Grouping>)="G2","Extended Plays",$If($First(<Grouping>)="G3",Singles,$If($First(<Grouping>)="G4","Live Albums",$If($First(<Grouping>)="G5","Live Extended Plays",$If($First(<Grouping>)="G6",Features,$If($First(<Grouping>)="G7",Remixes,$If($First(<Grouping>)="G8","Linkin Park Underground",$If($First(<Grouping>)="G9",$IsNull($Split(<Grouping>,;,4),$Split($Split(<Grouping>," [",1),"; ",2),$If($Contains(<Grouping>,ⁱ)="F",$RSplit($Split(<Grouping>,ⁱ,1),"; ",1),$Split(<Grouping>,;,4)": "$RSplit(<Grouping>,ⁱ,1))),"Undefined Sources"))))))))))


GROUP SORTING
$If($First(<Grouping>)="G10",$Split(<Grouping>,;,1)$RSplit(<Grouping>,],1),$First(<Grouping>))

Now I have to set the sort by to the group sorting tag and group by to artist and then subgroup to release groupings.

Is there any way to enlarge the sub group font?  Its small and I'd like to center it if possible but the code doesn't seem to work.

I used define custom sorting but it still sorts the grouping alphabetically.

Questions / Album Cover Display - Sorting by Grouping Question
« on: October 20, 2022, 02:50:54 PM »
Hi there.

I am looking for a way to solve my dilemna.  When I display my view using album and tracks, everything is sorted perfectly.

Studio Albums first by earliest to latest
Extended Plays
Singles
Live Albums
Live Extended Plays

That way is perfect.  It displays that way because for the albumsort value, I formatted it like
 1. Studio Albums // (2002) xxxxx
2. EPs // (2995)
etc.

BUT it only shows Studio Albums as the header in albums and tracks view.

Now I would like to use the album cover view. 

I have managed to sort it by grouping but the order is messed up and i cant solve it.
It shows the grouping order sorted by alphabet.

Is there a way for me to set a custom order of the grouping / release type?

Thank you!

Can you post this in english by any chance?  I have no clue what options you are choosing and I can't get it to work.  Please.

Questions / Question Regarding Saving Lyrics to External File
« on: June 02, 2021, 02:07:51 PM »
Hi there,

Is there anyway I can change the location of where it saves the lyrics file?  I can't find a setting for that anywhere and right now it is saving the lyrics file in the same folder as the corresponding music file.  I would like to just set up one folder with all my lyrics instead if thats possible.  Please advise me on any possible solution, thank you!  A song would also need to know where this new target location for lyrics is.

Ok it works.  Now is there a way to add a 2nd artist and their corresponding website to that same code?  IE if artist = linkin park then linkinpark.com, if artist = Staind then staind.com, if artist = trapt then trapt.com and so on so forth?  I tried adding it but without any basic knowledge of code im obviously missing characters.

I was not aware no so thanks for that!

I'm about to try doing the code stuff you suggested.  I'm not quite sure I understand it all but I will try my best.

Sorry for the quality.  Basically right now theres no way for the program to understand when a different artist is playing and t o provide a different link.

I gave it a quick test, and the second alternative solution does work.
What is important, is not to write the full url in the tag, but only the part that comes after 'http//'

You could e.g. use the tag 'origin' for this, and then use this as the formula for the weblink:
Code
$IsNull(<Origin>,http://www.google.com/search?q=official website <Artist>,http://<Origin>)



Also how would I get it displayed on the right side with track information?  Instead of the 4 links I originally put.

I don't think that can be done at this moment.
As an alternative, you could setup a custom weblink like:

Homepage
Code
$If(<Artist>="Linkin Park",http://linkinpark.com,http://www.google.com/search?q=official website <Artist>)
For Linkin Park it will lead directly to the website you mentioned, and for all other artists it will open a google page where the homepage of the artist is likely to be one of the top results. Could be a useful alternative option?

A random thought on perhaps taking this further:
If you have more artists that you want to have a direct link for, I think you should be able to use a dedicated tag that you populate with the specific webpage you want to link to that artist.
Then you could change the formula above to have it navigate to such a specific website using the url information in that tag, or if the tag is empty/absent, do the google thingy.

You'll have to test if that will indeed work. www-url's can sometimes pose problems when used in tags and/or formulas.

Thanks for the suggestion and help.

Could you expand further on that tag option?  I have a few artists maybe 5-10 that I would like it to go to an url that I provide.

I'm very new to musicbee so I don't quite understand what to code and where to put it lol

Questions / Links Displayed on current track playing
« on: May 27, 2021, 11:41:43 AM »
Hi there,

So I just noticed this feature and it's great.  Is it possible to customize it so different links appear depending on the track of an artist that is currently playing?

Like for linkin park I have the wikipedia artist profile, a link to genius lyrics, linkinpark.com and lpunderground.com.  I don't want the last two to show up for any artist except linkin park, however, they are currently showing up for every artist.  Is there a way to change that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

New member here but man, Musicbee is OUTSTANDING.  I can spend months trying to make it look perfect.

I have two questions:

1.
ANyways so I sort by Album Artist > Album > Album > Year however I use custom values for album "sort as" and then I either sort it as:
1. Studio Albums // (YEAR) Album Name
2. Extended Plays // (YEAR) Album Name
3. Singles
4. Live Albums // (YEAR) Album Name
5. Live Extended Plays // (YEAR) Album Name

Now,

It displays it just the way I want it to now in the desired order while leaving the actual Album name completely in tact which is what I wanted.

My question is,

Is there a way that I can have what type of release each album is?

IE:

Studio Album
Extended Play
Single
Live Album
Live Extended Play

Please let me know thanks!  I would like that to be displayed next to the Year, next to each album name (without changing the album name)

or below the thumbnail of each album.

Please let me know if this is possible and any help would be so greatly appreciated!

2. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the name of the disc so that it does not include the word "disc" first. I would like to change certain discs to volumes or some even an actual name without that word so any info would much appreciated!
