Been noticing this happening for a while, but unsure if it's been reported or not.

Basically making a selection of more than 15 songs in windows explorer doesn't allow me to add them to the MusicBee queue. The options aren't ever displayed in the right click context menu.

If I select only 15 or fewer, I get the options:

- Play in MusicBee
- Queue Next in MusicBee
- Queue Last in MusicBee


If I select 16+ songs those 3 options don't appear and I can't add files to the queue.

Trying to make some large playlists and I'm having to add songs 15 at a time.. Seems a bit tedious.

Is there a setting I've missed or is this some kind of oversight in MusicBee's functionality not being able to queue more than 15 files? Doesn't make a ton of sense to me why there would be a limit.. so I'm stumped.

15 songs selected:

Welcome to the forum!

Nice job on the documentation. I think this will answer your question, though: https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_can.27t_I_open_more_than_15_files_from_Windows_Explorer.3F

Thanks for that! Whatever search terms I was using kept on bringing up irrelevant results.

Apologies!

If you were using the forum search, I'm not surprised. It's notoriously bad. If you do a google search with "site:https://getmusicbee.com/forum" you'll probably get better results.
