Questions / Re: "calculate and write missing replay gain tags for new music files" not working

« on: August 10, 2014, 09:27:53 PM »

Good point.  I'm not using the inbox.  My files are already tagged/organized properly before I add them to MB, so I don't really need the extra step of the inbox.

Questions / "calculate and write missing replay gain tags for new music files" not working

« on: August 10, 2014, 09:08:23 PM »

I've been looking at the best way to integrate R128 volume analysis into my ripping workflow and thought I'd give MB 2.4.5332 and the "calculate and write missing replay gain tags for new music files" option a try.

The hope here is that I could  just remove the old ReplayGain step I was doing during ripping and let MB do the new R128 automatically when it finds new files in my monitored folders.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work in 2.4.5332.  I tried a test with an existing FLAC album as follows:
- Make sure the "calculate and write missing replay gain tags for new music files" option is checked
- Delete an existing album from MB library and close MB
- Use MP3Tag to remove the replay gain tags from the album's FLAC files (completely remove the tags, not just the values)
- Start MB
- Shortly after startup MB will find the album and add it to the library, but it never adds the replaygain tags to the files

Am I missing something or is this currently not working?

Plugins / Re: Dacp Plugin: control MusicBee using iTunes-compatible apps

Bazinga - just wondering if you had any ideas on this question from a few weeks ago.  No pressure if you're busy with other stuff.  Just wondering if it's supposed to work, planned in the future, never gonna happen, etc.

I'm currently using Retune with this plugin.  Should I be able to edit the current playback queue?  For example, reorder songs in the list?

Retune says it support this with iTunes 11 and MonkeyTunes:
* iTunes 11 Up Next Support. Add songs, albums, artist, genres, composers, and playlists to the Up Next list. Including the ability to view/remove/reorder songs and parts of the Up Next list.
* MonkeyTunes Play Queue support.

I can see the playback queue in Retune, but I can't seem to edit it in any way.  Am I just not understanding how to use this feature in Retune, or is it not implemented in the plugin yet?  Anyone else tried this?

BTW - regarding the requirement for Bonjour, you might want to mention in the first post that you don't have to actually install iTunes to get it.  Apple doesn't seem to have a separate Bonjour distribution anymore, but you can download the latest iTunes setup and use 7-zip (or some other archive tool) to open the iTunes setup exe as an archive and extract the Bonjour installer.

I really, really didn't want to pollute my system with iTunes and was kind of annoyed when I thought there was no choice.  Maybe it's common knowledge to people more familiar with Apple stuff, but it took me some searching to find this solution.  So I thought you might want to mention this in the first post for people that don't even know what Bonjour is or might be put off by thinking they have to install iTunes.

Woohoo!  Works great now!  Thank you so much.

This plugin+Retune is pretty awesome.  When I was still on Winamp I used the excellent aWARemote, and it was the one thing I really missed after moving to MusicBee.  Not anymore!  Thanks again for the great work!

I also have the 530 error when trying to load the library in Retune.  I enabled log4net and can see the startup and retune connection all seem fine, so there dosen't seem to be any connectivity issue. However, I found this at the end of the log:

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Add ability to resize encoding window

It would also be nice if there was an overall progress indication as well.  Something similar to Winamp's sync queue would be nice where you could see all the sync tasks and the status of each (pending, encoding, copying, etc.) along with a percent complete and estimated remaining time would be really nice.
