MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Read alternative format mp4 (m4a) multi tags, as used by Picard, Mutagen, mp3tag
Last post by hiccup on May 27, 2023, 07:58:14 PM   |  Started by techvslife
While I don't care about apple stuff or apple formats, I did have some part in the background of this request, and it seems a valid improvement to MusicBee to me.

So +1

Just one small question: I get an error on one line: the tag <Work title¨> is undefined in your first post for Album/Work:
Thanks for the appreciation techvslife.
It has been a while since I posted this, or reviewed/revised it, but since there have been no reports of errors in what is described currently, I am wondering if this is causing the problem for you:

When adding new virtual formulas and keeping that panel open, MusicBee will do some sort of check if it recognises any <tag> that a new virtual tag entry is referencing.
So if virtual tag #2 is referencing virtual tag #1 that hasn't been saved/welcomed yet, it will say 'computer says no'.
So to be completely safe, you should probably: enter one new virtual tag, press save and close the panel.
Open the panel again, add the next one, press save, and close/open again.

Does that solve it?

MusicBee Wishlist / Read alternative format mp4 (m4a) multi tags, as used by Picard, Mutagen, mp3tag
Last post by techvslife on May 27, 2023, 07:45:00 PM   |  Started by techvslife
It would be helpful if MusicBee could read m4a multi-item tags written in the Picard, Mutagen, mp3tag format.
This could be by a "convert on read" operation to its own (Musicbee) multi-item tag format -- and could keep saving to its own (MusicBee) format.
(Or more ambitiously, could have an option to use and save to either format, musicbee or picard/mutagen, but I'm not requesting that much!)

More details here:

Thank you.

Excellent post -- you've done almost all the work for us!

Just one small question: I get an error on one line: the tag <Work title¨> is undefined in your first post for Album/Work:
Album/Work   :   $If(<Genre Category>="Classical",$IsNull(<Work title¨>,<Album>,<Work title¨>),<Album>)
did I overlook something? (or perhaps you meant <Work [top]¨>? Thank you.

You indicated before that your playlists are in *.m3u format.
At the risk of playing advocate for the devil, and revealing that my experience and understanding of playlist files is lackluster, and admitting I only did a brief test on this:
Does MusicBee handle and understand .m3u playlists to begin with?
When importing such playlists, it seems they get transformed to the proprietary .mbp  format immediately?
(I couldn't find any .m3u playlist files in my libraries myself, and as a test copying some from foobar2000 into my MB playlist folder didn't seem to get them recognised)

If this is the case, there will be no multiple .m3u playlist files that can be found in MusicBee's folders, so nor can they be selected and copied elsewhere?

You indicated before that your playlists are in *.m3u format.  In that case, you can go to the MB Playlists folder (in a Portable install it's at MusicBee/Library/Playlists), and use File Explorer to mass-select and copy the ones you want to export as-is to anywhere you want.

The OP wants things that were played the most in the last 12 months.  MB doesn't know how many times something was played in the last 12 months, only when it was most recently played.

EDIT: Hmmm...Last.fm does. If you use Last.fm, you could generate a static playlist by right clicking any track, going to Last.fm Playlist->Library Top Tracks->Last Year.  But you'd have to do this fresh each time you wanted a new one - no way to make an auto playlist, and I noticed that if you have multiple versions of songs in your library it sometimes does not choose the one that you actually listened to the most (some in the playlist had 0 play count when I tried).
