MusicBee Wishlist / Start/End Time Change to Skip

« on: July 13, 2013, 03:49:09 AM »

The Start/End time crop the duration when it is use. For example; a

4:00
Start Time: 2:00
End Time: 3:00

Will make this track to have a duration of 1:00 whenever it is play. The problem with this method is all my synchronize lyric will be out of sync. MusicBee should handle it differently, one way is to just skip to start time, and change track at end time rather than the current system.

MusicBee Wishlist / Relative Artist Pictures Location (folder.jpg)

« on: May 09, 2013, 01:15:08 PM »

Summary: Artist picture from parent folder.

MusicBee right now either use a Fixed Paths for Artist Picture Location under Preferences > Tag (1), or AppData.

Many user have this folder structure, "<Album Artist>\<Album>" that seem to be the standard for HTPC user such as XBMC, MediaPortal, etc., In <Album Artist> folder would usually have a "folder.jpg" which is used as the Artist picture.

My wishlist would be that the "artist pictures location" can use a relative path, such as, instead of me setting "Artist Picture Location" as "C:\Artist Image", I could use, "folder.jpg\" which implies it location is at the parent folder.

The concern would this be is, that this could mean more process will be use? Perhaps a cache method of something similar. Currently I have heap of already downloaded artist thumb (XBMC user), each in their Artist folder, with a filename, "folder.jpg", manually renaming these option is time consuming. The other option is just to let MusicBee re-download everything again, which is a waste of bandwidth really. Not to mention losing custom artist image using such method.

On a side note: There is a few thread posting about such topic, but these were question of how to solve this problem. This thread is made as a Wishlist, so hopefully something foreseeable in the future.
