According to the WineHQ Database NET.2.0 version is the most promising one. So it's worth trying this one rather than NET.4.

Someone managed to install Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 with ease right after installing NET.2.0 on Wine 1.3.30. I guess it works better than XMLLITE.DLL introduced in Step 8 to fix the layout issues.

Can you try with Wine 1.3. (21 and 36), NET.2.0 and Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0  ???



I will try to install MCXMLS 6 ;) please be patient for feedback
 Also trying other msxml versions ;)

added the appdb thing

Thanks  :) I'd rather use a Linux player in Linux. There are a few quite good ones, the choice depends on the individual preferences. It was worth to try with MusicBee, though.

Net 4.0 support is the most useless function on wine 1.5.5.. doenst work :P Musicbee doesnt want to startup

net 4.0 is installable with silent install through terminal..  still needs installing some Visual Basic dll's

Just dumping an error i get when net 4.0 and several other needed librarys are installed:

1.4 doesnt work on 1.5.5 anymore either. We need 2.0 to get working :)

Hello, I've just switched one of our PCs to OpenSUSE 12.1 and am a keen MusicBee user so I thought I'd give the latest version (1.4) a go with Wine. It works - well just about! (This is on Wine 1.4 installed from the standard SUSE repositories)

I installed
winetricks dotnet20

and then ran
wine setup.exe on the MusicBee installer

As has been said, the preferences don't work properly but the default settings seem to play fine.
The Music Library doesn't seem to want to work but I'm used to browsing and playing from the 'Computer' file folders which work fine,

I also installed .net 2.0

winetricks dotnet35

and that also worked but didn't improve the compatibility situation. Strangely the Now Playing dialogue doesn't work in the Default R.H. side bar but if you move it to the central panel then it's usable although the little 'currently playing' arrow doesn't show.

Blogs and MP3 files seem to work OK. Radio Stations doesn't seem to work.
The Artist photos work (excellent feature) as well as the Wikipedia and other Tab options in Track and Artist!

Anyway it's working well enough to keep me happy - as far as I'm concerned it works better than Amarok which doesn't have a 'refresh' button to rescan the file system when you rename a folder or suchlike. Thanks Steve and all for a great app.

...OK just when it was going so well...

If you move the 'Track and Artist' to the bottom pane so you can see the artist photos and so on I find that when I close and restart MusicBee I then get a blank grey page - oh dear - I've broken it :)

However with some further fiddling I found that if I do View - Save settings and save my settings with the standard layout before moving 'Track and Artist' to the bottom pane , I can reload the standard layout, and everything works again... A bit of an annoying workaround but doable.

beeing good

Well, just managed to get musicbee working in UbuntuStudio FINALLY. It seems to be working ok so far, the only problem I've notice is that the artwork layout is kind of screwed up, the pictures are showing in black and white with vertical lines going through them. It could be because I'm playing the library from the files on my windows installation I guess. I haven't really set it all up properly but things are looking promising.

Has anyone else seen this artwork problem?

Hello Gang! Any update on this subject.

Wondering whether we could use MB on Debian Buster...

Kind regards!
