i have created a demo version that has some of new the functionality implemented - its intended to give you an idea of how things are being implemented and is not a fully functioning version! For example it doesnt save any updates back to the musicbee database cache, it doesnt read or write back the settings files
Instructions
- create a new folder somewhere you have write access
- unzip
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zi98cfyryaijg6z/MusicBee3.zip- you will need to either manually
edit AppData/StartupSettings.ini or copy your existing StartupSettings.ini file. The important setting is <LibraryPath>\Users\Steven\Music\MusicBee\</LibraryPath> which needs to point to where your current musicbee database resides.
If the path is not set or not valid you will see a blank dialog form popup when you start MB3
- i recommend you dont update any ratings or save any tags with the tag editor as the MusicBee database is not saved so would be out of synch with what is written to the music file
Notes
- as you will see many of the sub-panels are not yet implemented
- the skin and settings are hard coded but you can change some of the settings while the program is running but they wont be saved for the next restart
- no need to report any bugs - i have only lightly tested this and fully expect there will be bugs
- next thing i plan to do is the "Now Playing" node
here is a screenshot:
and the panel layout configuration:
