Hi all, I am new here and also new to MusicBee, So far it seems ok. I used to use Daum Potplayer but sadly they are pumping out annoying ads that flash up on your desktop and i hate apps with adware & malware. Also i heard Potplayer isn't secure hence the reason i have switched to MusicBee.
I don't want to sound ungrateful but i have a problem already.. I have set MusicBee as my default in Win10 but If i have a folder with 30 songs in it and highlight all songs, Select "Play All" tab only half the song will load in the track list. I thought it might be the folder or maybe some MP3 files were corrupt but it does it on other folders i have tested.
Am i missing something why it's not loading all songs in the play list on the right hand pane?
Thanks

You're dealing with a Windows limitation that only allows 15 files to be selected at once.  There are ways around it:

P.S.  PortableApp's Potplayer doesn't have the ads: https://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/potplayer-portable .  But do stick with MusicBee for music, you'll never look back.

Ahhh Man you're a legend.. I never knew that about Windows 10. Thanks for the work-around. It's now sorted Thanks to you.
I set it to 96 as i have 32GB RAM and a Ryzen 7 3800x CPU  so atleast its there if i ever need to transfer a large amount of files.
Thanks again sveakul 👍👍
