I think I have found the problem. It seems that one Plugin (theatermode) had stored the obsolete path in an *ini-file.

I have fixed that an now everythings works fine.

Sorry for the traffic

I moved my MB-portable to a new drive some time ago. Also the paths to my music files have changed.

Therefore I have completely rebuilt my MB library. Everything works fine.

But from time to time I come across single tracks where I get the above mentioned error message when I try to save them.
This happens for example when I want to give a track a rating.

Strangely enough, this only happens with very few of my music files. I guess with 95% the error does NOT occur.

The path that is not found - according to the error message - is one from my previous computer where MB was originally running.

But all music tracks are in the MB library with new and correct path. I can also play them without problems. Only when saving I get this message from time to time.

Does anyone of you have an idea what this could be?

I am currently running the latest 3.6 beta version. The same error also occurred with the 3.5 version.

Thank you very much for your answer.

It was indeed the skin. There was some kind of marker, but it was so pale that I only now recognized it on my screen.

What would be very cool would be if the marker of the currently running track would stay even if I mouse click on another track (without starting it).

Currently, there is only a tiny little speaker icon permanently next to the track that is currently playing.

Maybe there is also some way to set this differently?

In preferences on the "Now playing" tab there are two options for "highlight playing track in the main panel":

- select track
OR
- color text

I would like to set it to "select track" AND to color the text.

Is there a way this can be done? Maybe via a change in one of the *.ini or *xml files?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tips and Tricks / Using Now Playing popup with Parallels on macOS
« on: October 03, 2023, 04:09:22 PM »

After switching to MacOS I was really sad about not being able to use the rating and media controls in the taskbar when using MB with Parallels.

But today I found out that the Now Playing popup is a good alternative.

Just set the display duration to several minutes and enable the rating and media controls.

Now the popup appears with all the important functions on my Mac desktop. This is extremely handy and makes it much easier to use on macOS.

I wonder if it is somehow possible to display such a button before each song.

Right now it's a bit annoying to either use a double click or select the song and then click the play button at the bottom to start a song.

Maybe it can be done already, but unfortunately I don't know how.

Thanks for your help  :)

Thank you very much for your help and your explanations.

I will try with the virtual tags which I had not used before at all.  :)

In the library explorer (when sorted by artist) one can see the number of different albums for the respective artist.

I would like to see the number of tracks by this artist instead (or additionally) and wonder if this is possible somehow.

Sometimes it's more useful (for me) to know how many tracks for a specific artist are in the library than to see the number of albums only.

For example: "John Lennon (2)" can mean there are 100 or only 2 different tracks for the former Beatle in the library.

Maybe it ist possible to show the number of tracks for an artist too?

Thanks for your help  :)

Plugins / Re: Remote Control for iOS (MusicBee Remote companion)
« on: January 09, 2022, 02:06:34 PM »
After a long time I tried to use Remote App on my iPad Pro 21.

Unfortunately it could not make a connection to MB running on my W10 computer.

After returning to my computer I found the following error message:

---------------------------------------------
MusicBee v3.4.8033.18564P  (Win10.0), 9 Jan 2022 14:43:

It seems that an error has happened. Maybe this error message can help to find out, what did go wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.


PS The first line of the error message contains an German sentence, that says: "An existing connection was closed by the Remotehost".

Portable Devices / Re: How to make MB-ratings visible on iPhone/iPad?
« on: November 08, 2021, 09:31:06 AM »
phred, thanks for your answer.

I found the MP3-rating set to ID3v2.3 in the tag prereferences. The "also save ID3v1 tags" is checked.

Since I do not really know much about these standards (ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 or APEv2 etc.) I wonder, if my settings are correct.

Maybe someone else can confirm if the MP3 ratings done in MB are displayed in iOS music players or not?

I have got a pretty big music library with about 30.000 files. So re-rating them all manually after copying or streaming to my iPad is not really an option.

Portable Devices / How to make MB-ratings visible on iPhone/iPad?
« on: November 06, 2021, 10:09:22 AM »
When loading or streaming my (with MB rated) music files (MP3) via UPNP to my iPhone or iPad (iOS15) the ratings which I have done with MB are not visible in any of the music streaming / playing apps I have tried so far.

Other MP3 tags work fine but the ratings are not visible. The files are displayed as having not rating at all.

Is this a general iOS-problem or can I can I solve this problem by changing some settings in MusicBee?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Questions / How to create a new category like "Audiobooks"?
« on: June 28, 2020, 04:10:18 PM »
Hi I have a lot of guitar backing tracks in my library which I don't want to be mixed up with my standard song tracks.
It would be great if I could put them in an own category (like it is possible with "Audiobooks") so that they don't mix with the normal song tracks accidentally (e.g in auto playlists etc.).

Is it possible to create a new (sub)category which does not interfere with my standard song tracks without creating a second library?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steven, thank you very much for your help.

I found that the lyrics that are shown in the lyrics box were downloaded but not saved into the file.
So the track could not be marked as having lyrics.

In the past saving lyrics into the file happend automatically but maybe I have changed that accidentally.

So it was my mistake. Sorry for that  :(

@frankz: Thanks for fixing the screenshot issue.

I have checked the MP3 with MP3val but it found no problems.

@Steven: Have sent you a PM with a link to the file.


Thanks for your help.  :)

I have noticed that lyrics often are not found although available for a specific track.

Only after a "redo search" they do appear in the lyrics box.


Then I found that the lyrics are also sometimes not detected by MB so that a track WITH lyrics is listed as having NO lyrics.

Screenshot:

Maybe something is wrong in my MB settings oder I do something wrong.
But maybe it's a bug that can be eliminated.

Thanks in advance for any help.
