Something similar has been suggested before, I can't remember by who, and I can't remember where, but I also have been thinking for a long time that the word 'Library' in MusicBee is sometimes confusing people.
Really? I haven't noticed anyone that was confused by the concept of a library that stores information about your files. A lot of programs have had it for a long time, and I would have thought it was fairly intuitive.
v3 might be a good starting point to start differentiating terminology for the two different concepts of this word in MusicBee.
I am not a native English speaker, but introducing separate terms such as: 'Library index' and 'Music library', and using these consistently would probably be helpful to (new) users.
What are the two concepts you are referring to? The only library I'm aware of is the one with my tracks in it.
Yes really.
Even your reply itself mixes those two.
The first part of your reply refers to what you could call the Library index file, which with a default installation saves in a location I believe such as C: username > my music (not sure exactly)
You can create more of those 'Libraries', and also choose where you want to save those.
The second part of your reply refers to the actual content of your library, such as your music, podcasts, audiobooks themselves.
They can also be stored on locations to your own choosing.
Those are two different concepts, which are currently both called 'Library'.
Both in MusicBee itself, as in this forum, which sometimes confuses and sets users in a wrong direction.
