change the language of the artist information during the current playback

[Fabland]

Hello, do you know if it's possible to change the language of the artist information during playback? I would like to have the content in French if possible.



Thanks

Hello,

By 'artist information', do you mean the biography displayed in the Music Explorer, when clicking on 'Profile'?
MusicBee collects biographies in English only, and it isn't configurable in its current state.
I suppose that the reason behind that choice is that there is a plethora of biographies in English on the internet,
but fewer in other languages.

When testing with a few artists/bands, I noticed that the biography matched what is available in Last fm's wiki.

Artist	EN	FR
Philippe LAFONTAINE	https://www.last.fm/music/Philippe+Lafontaine/+wiki	https://www.last.fm/fr/music/Philippe+Lafontaine/+wiki
Los Angeles Philharmonic	https://www.last.fm/music/Los+Angeles+Philharmonic/+wiki	N/A

Hello,
Thank you for the information, indeed it seems that the information is more complete in English, but it's a shame that we cannot configure it.;Maybe one day..Thank you for your response anyway.

Maybe one day..

If you add the topic to the wishlist, I'm pretty sure other users will support your proposal.

In case you are not aware, MusicBee caches the biographies which are then stored locally (in the AppData folder but precise location is dependent on installation type).
You can edit these biographies in MusicBee (right-click anywhere in the displayed biography > edit) or you can edit the <Artist>.bio.dat file directly using any text editor.

So if you do find a French version you would like to use then you can manually edit this.
