Search and Replace issue is fixed. 

All windows that open when an Auto-tag by Track function is evoked open in the upper left corner of the main MB window.  Can you please make the position the window is dragged to persistent?  Thanks.

Now that the Search and Replace function display is fixed, when I start typing in the "in field" field to get to Title, MB throws this error:
MusicBee v3.0.5852.31631 (Win6.1), 9 Jan 2016 15:24:

I can click OK and continue without a problem, but it shouldn't be throwing an error.  Unless the fields aren't meant to be found by typing.  It seems to happen with any letter I tried (Artist, Title, Genre.)  Yes, I know I can scroll to the desired field, but Title is way down near the bottom and typing a T should be faster by taking me to the first T.

i click a Track in the "Now Playing" Tab. The correct wavebar and track displayed.
if I switch from the "Now Playing" Tab to another Tab, the wavebar and sidebar player does not update.
in the other tab is still the previous track displayed in the wavebar an sidebar player

hope that helps.

Request:

Making it optional to have MusicBee displaying this info in the taskbar.
Personally I hardly ever have any use for the info presented there, and it clutters the layout a bit.
For that reason I tend to make that text color near invisible by skinning, but then the more useful info about e.g. the progress of library actions is also affected.

I cant find the "Station Directories" Button

Click on the little down arrow after 'Radio' header.
Show Station Directories is turned on/off there.


@ Steven
I think this is the third/fourth person that has posted about not finding the drop-down menus.
Maybe a different style of arrow would be more prominent?

i think existing v2.x users have expectations about where things are and if its different then that can confuse until you are used to the new way.
In my view its quite obvious the arrow indicates its a drop-down already and making it more prominent will just clutter the screen.
A recent change was made where you can right click on the header bar to get context menu customisation context menu items so that might help some people transition

Thank you Bee-liever!

i think existing v2.x users have expectations about where things are and if its different then that can confuse until you are used to the new way.

I think that's a factor, but other changes that have been made have not generated the same number of queries.

In my view its quite obvious the arrow indicates its a drop-down already and making it more prominent will just clutter the screen.

I like the look of the new arrow myself and I think it fits well with the theme.

As a suggestion, I was thinking maybe a solid arrow similar to what's used on the preferences drop-downs, but I don't think it works as well as the current arrow-head design


but an outline triangle might be a good alternative
