MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Better keyboard editing of tracks in CD ripping window

« on: January 28, 2022, 04:39:57 PM »

The MB "Rip CD" screen only displays 6 details: "Album Artist", "Album", "Composer", "Genre", "Year", and "Track Title". Green 1-6 in screenshot
However, 5 additional details are missing: "Title", "Artist" (Contributing Artist in windows), "(Track) #", "Conductor", and "Part Of Set". Red 7-11 in screenshot
My personal preference is to delete the "Title" and "(Track) #" while setting "Album Artist" and "Artist" the same. So it would be nice to have a way to select which details you want filled in when ripping from cd. Editing these details after ripping is possible, just seems like a step that could be saved. Thank you!

Questions / Re: Unknown artist for every song

I see what you're saying and i agree. But there is no "Artist" field in windows. Its either "contributing artist" which is a feature of the song, or "album artist" the artist that released the album. So according to Windows and my phone app, i am tagging my files correctly. It appears musicbee is interpreting the feature of a song as the main artist. Thats why i figured there was a setting i could change to correct it.

It detects "contributing artist" as a feature and puts it after "album artist". Removing "contributing artist" fixed that. On musicbee I've corrected the now playing and popup to display "album artist" instead. The only thing left to fix is "artist biography". Is there a way to set it to "album artist biography"? Lol if not, ill live without it.

Oh... I removed the "contributing artist" field for all of my songs (in windows) since it was causing an issue with my phone app which i use more. So is there any way around this issue without changing the file itself? I saw something about virtual tags on the forums but idk anything about that.

Questions / Unknown artist for every song

« on: October 20, 2021, 10:34:36 PM »

All of my songs display "unknown artist". But for every song (in windows file explorer) I have the correct "album artist" labeled. How do I get MusicBee to interpret the file's "album artist" for MusicBee's "artist"? This way the artist biography works too. I included two pictures to show exactly what i mean. Thank you in advance!
