Questions / aiff tag error?

« on: April 02, 2014, 10:59:46 PM »

When trying to edit tags for my aiff files I get a error message saying aiff tags not supported but the tags do seem to have been updated successfully.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Questions / how do you listen to your music?

« on: March 28, 2014, 10:00:19 PM »

First let me say that Musicbee is the reason why I finally changed over from CDs to computer storage. I now have over 16000 songs on my hard drive and enjoy the flexibility and convenience musicbee gives me. However I quickly realized that playing a lifetimes worth of music ( I am 63) through PC speakers even with a bass woofer was just not good enough sound quality wise. How could I get my treasured collection over to my Arcam amp and floor standing speakers. Well I bought for £40 a little streaming device called a Lindy. It streams independent of WiFi and works most of the time OK. But I feel I could get better sound by spending more money on a decent  streamer or DLNA device but I think I'm right in thinking that these devices need to control the organization and playing of the music and won't work with Musicbee. I've tried Musicmonkey which will do the job but is just not up to scratch compared to MB. I'm sure you guys out there are listening to your music on good hifi using MB so what are your methods? I don't think a cable from the PC sound card is a good idea so some method of streaming while still having MB control the playing is what I want.

thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / Update encoding parameters in File Converter preferences

« on: May 02, 2013, 10:47:35 PM »

In the encoder preferences there is portable device and file archiving options in the parameters but both have -i - -acodec alac [outputfile] set.
The files come converted as large files (like flacs) so I assume only the  file archiving option is set. What parameters do I need for portable device encoding?
Thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / accessing allmusic etc.

« on: April 27, 2013, 07:39:19 PM »

Is it possible to lookup artists on allmusic etc by selecting an album or artist in the main column rather than having to get the contents in now playing first.
