TheaterMode / Re: Permanenty Show Just One Picture in "Theater Mode"

Must have missed this when it was posted.

You can do that by setting a background image.
It will always show up unless masked by some other gallery element that would be set to display over it.

Code
<settings backgroundImage="Default Image.jpg" />

Ah, ok - the Artist thumbnail.
Prior to this revelation, I also thought the OP was referring to the artist picture in the "profile" section of the Music Explorer.
As pointed out by tjinc already, none of the settings mentioned here will prevent MusicBee from auto-retrieving artist thumbs (no such setting exists atm).

What's asked here has been requested before: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=28657.0
redwing found a way to prevent MB from auto-retrieving thumbnails on artists already loaded onto the library (so...doesn't work with 'new' artists).

The 'workaround' isn't exactly what you're asking for, but it sorta gets you halfway (in case your wish here goes cold).

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Modify and Permantly Save Song...

Use these in the tag editor:

...and then send the file to the format converter - creating a copy (make double sure you're not overwriting the original unless you want to).

Not 100% sure the volume adjustment carries over to copies made in the format converter - you'll have to check that by experimenting - but I am 100% sure about the start and stop times.

MusicBee Wishlist / Modify and Permantly Save Song...
Last post by dzeake on December 08, 2023, 04:58:18 PM   |  Started by dzeake
This is a feature that iTunes had;  you could change attributes of a song, and then save a new version.

This was especially helpful to raise the volume of a song permanently.  I know you can temporarily adjust the volume in MB, but it doesn't permanently save it.  E.g., the Eagles Hotel California album is notoriously quiet.  With iTunes you could raise the volume and save it as a new version - and you could do this multiple times to continue to increase the volume.  The song would now have the new volume levels when played across different devices (via different players).

Similarly, you could change the starting point or ending point of songs.  This is helpful to eliminate delays in songs.  But mostly, I used this to create custom ringtones that started at a certain point in a song.

I think you could also save custom EQ settings for individual songs.  This allows you to effectively "remaster" songs.

If this "modify and save" feature already exists, I would love to know how to do it.

Thank you for your help!

But I also want to take this opportunity to compliment you all on this fantastic app!!!

I doubt it's required for anything other than the artist picture download feature itself (musicbee works just fine offline), but who knows.
In my opinion, any software that primarly deals with local files should always be configurable to make no network requests at all.

It's not a default behavior.  It is a required behavior.  

For whatever reason, he wants there to be at least one picture for each artist available to display in the program "and does not plan to change" that requirement.

This is the wishlist board, and sometimes wishes are granted, but based on his previous response to the issue I'm saying don't get your hopes up is all.

Yes, there's no need to change the default behavior, it can be a checkbox somewhere in the settings

Even when the artist picture/ retrieve pictures setting is unticked, MB will still retrieve one picture if you have none locally for the artist in question. I dont plan to change that

I think it'd be nice if MusicBee wrote the file not only when closing the program. Or at least if it writes the xml into a temp file and then replaces the actual iTunes Music Library.xml file when the temp file is finished.

This would be a reasonable wish for the Wishlist board if @Steven doesn't choose to implement it here.
