this is an incremental update and includes all changes since version 3.0 - unzip and then run MusicBee_Setup_3_1_6275.exe

- Auto-playlists can now be set to automatic or manual refresh of the matching tracks
- New Album Artwork Manager tool, enables you to view and correct a variety of inconsistent album artwork conditions
- You can now disable the display of the current playing track in the windows Taskbar popup (this addresses a windows display issue when alt-tabbing)
- New "Remove Cuesheet" right click menu item
- new naming template functions:
    - $RxReplace(<field>,"reg-ex search pattern","regex-replacement pattern")
    - $RxSplit(<field>,"reg-ex search pattern",index)

there is a bug in MusicBee v3.1 (for several months I estimate) when saving multiple files in the tag editor and:
- you didnt update any artwork;
- and the file had no embedded artwork
if both of those were true then the tags were not being written to the files ie. only the MusicBee database was being updated. This bug did not happen when saving one file in the tag editor - its only happened for multiple files being edited at the same time.

The above link has been updated with the fix.

The assist with re-saving any files that might have been affected, I have enhanced the "Synchronise Tags" function:
- select the files you want to check
- from the main menu/ Tools/ Advanced/ Synchronise Tags...
- MB will scan the selected files and check the file tags for inconsistencies with the MusicBee database
- if there are any files detected, the filename is written to the error log and you will be prompted to confirm you want the files to be re-saved
- if you click No, you can manually edit the files by checking the filenames in the error log
- if you click Yes, MB will re-save the tags to the relevant files

See the above post for the fixed MusicBee version
