Questions / Need help with ID tags

« on: January 13, 2022, 03:42:23 AM »

Not very tech savvy newb here. Recently switched from Winamp to MB to manage my massive music collection, which is mostly FLAC and some mp3 files.

Since switching to MB, I've noticed a lot more files are showing up with no tags. I know zilch about tag "versions" but is there a preferred setting or anything I can do that will help read more files?

That brings me to my second question. I also see that MB is capable of auto-tagging from online sources. I saw 4 sources listed somewhere on the MB site but  when I go to preferences, the only option I see is Musicbrainz. How do I get more options?

The only option I could find in the forum was to add Discogs, so I followed instructions and unpacked the zip file mb_discogs.dll into the MB main program folder and it's not working. Was it supposed to go into a subfolder?

Thanks, MM

PS I would also like to get rid of the album cover art in that panel as well if anyone knows how to do that.

Questions / Need help with UI and panel configuration

« on: January 04, 2022, 12:26:24 AM »

Hi everybody and happy new year!

Newb here. I've been using Winamp since dinosaurs first roamed the earth. I've heard great things about MB and decided to try it. I am not very tech-savvy but I have managed to install and load my library with no problems. I also found a skin I liked and did some minor tweaks in the panel configuration. I'm really used to my old winamp layout (I think I used a version of bento) and I'm trying to configure the panels in MB in a similar way. I've read through the anatomy article and other threads.

So here is my specific question: Is there a way I can configure what I think is the MAIN panel (in my screenshot below) to show these specific columns from L to R:
Artist
Album
Track #
Track Title
Track Length
Track Bitrate
Year

Thank you in advance for your help. Again, I'm not very tech savvy, so if you can help me, please make the instructions for dummies. THANKS!
