Hello Psychadept & Vincent Kars,
Thanks to both of you. I now have my MusicBee Library configured to display the Composition Field and I have pulled in the Composition data from my MusiCHI database for all 23000+ records.
Vincent, I followed your tutorial on your webpage. I mostly understood what I was doing, but, since I don't yet have a solid grasp of the MusicBee architecture, I did not fully understand why I was taking the steps needed. I will also be reviewing other computer audio information on your website.
Psychadept, You have been patient with my persistence and have helped me achieve success.
I am now happily listening to some of my favorite tracks for the purpose of comparing the sound quality of the MusicBee player with the MusiCHI player. My system is constituted as follows for music reproduction:
The MusicBee program resides in a dedicated Toshiba Laptop, running Windows 10 Professional (upgraded from the native Windows 7 Professional which came pre-installed on the computer). My music files are stored on an external 3 TB Seagate HD and are backed up on a second identical Seagate HD. The USB output from my laptop is connected to a Peachtree Audio DACx iT DAC. The DAC L/R audio outputs are connected to a Cambridge Audio Azur 855 Integrated Amplifier. The Cambridge Speaker A outputs are connected to a pair of Golden Ear Triton One Front Speakers and the Speaker B outputs are connected to a pair of Golden Ear Triton Seven speakers, sitting in the rear of the room. The Cambridge Tape Output is connected to a Paradigm DSP 3400 sub and to a Klipsch SW 12 Sub.
Other speakers and an Onkyo NR 3009 9.2 channel AV Receiver are used for movies.
I am interested in learning more about MusicBee and, in particular, learning about how MusicBee performs for me as a player. Comments are welcome.
Again, thanks for your help,
