>>> I'm not a regular MusicBee user, so it's possible this is a user error. Am I missing something simple?


When using a Virtual Device, to export music, items in playlists will not accurately list the music files when the following setting is enabled:

Virtual Device: Settings: media storage: storage path: --use naming template

Instead, it appears the alternate option of '-- preserve folders and filenames' is always produced (in the contents of playlist line items), regardless of user choice.

When '--use naming template' is selected, file names in the playlists do not actually utilize the new naming template of the converted music files.

For example, when I activated '--use naming template', the following is a sample item from playlists associated with the Virtual Device:

../Music/Khaled/Khaled - N'ssi N'ssi/06 - Khaled - Alech Taadi.mp3

Which only matches to the Library file, not the Virtual Device file. The actual full path for the file in the Virtual Device, per the renaming template, is:

../Music/Khaled/N'ssi N'ssi/# - Alech Taadi.mp3

It appears this option is not properly working, or I have a misunderstanding of this function.
