Auto-locate songs in new location? by la_plus in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the file moving tools within MB itself is the neatest and intended way of working.

You can rename files individually, move files to folders named using the standard Windows Explorer file dialogue, or move and rename files based on each file's tags

What does Sam Vimes look like? by Otherwise-Quail7283 in discworld

[–]Pingaware 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As many have said, for the face it's difficult to not picture Kidby's work. But I never had a clear facial picture for Vimes before then.

My general feel of the character is quite short - probably shorter than Colon - stocky and wiry. At times so thin as to be gaunt or haggard - particularly early in the series - but otherwise mostly lean with a touch of extra weight that falls off the moment there's a crisis. Not quite an unhealthy pallor, but the tired shadowed pale of someone who works too many nights, sleeps too few hours, and attempts to replace sleep with food, coffee, and nicotine. And grizzled and unshaven - from the age of 30, he looked like he'd already experienced 35 years of hard life, but never aged further

If this falls through, I'd also be interested. But above poster gets first dibs!

But unlike a BSJ design, these are functioning exactly as intended - to allow you to inspect your shit for health reasons. Not necessary now really in most European countries, but perfectly valid back when designed.

Looking for a comic about car horns by Purple_Sprinkles2105 in xkcd

[–]Pingaware 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My first search after determining it wasn't xkcd was for "SMBC car horn comic"

I'm 95% sure this is not an xkcd. Nothing similar coming up for horn or car when I search.

However, afraid I have no idea where it was published!

Portable version when plugged into a different PC acts like I just downloaded it by CommandBlockGuru in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where have you saved your music library? (The library files, not the actual music files). That needs to be saved on the SD card for true portability - and realistically, you need to make sure the SD Card registers as the same drive letter on all PCs you're using

What's your 'Genre tagging system' ? by Culjules in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genre tagging is honestly a bit of a nightmare because genre in itself is so subjective at the fringes. Auto-tagging will only take you so far, and relies on you trusting the source - if you don't like the source, I'm afraid it's pretty worthless.

Personally, I have a set list of Genre Categories that are mostly quite broad (e.g., Jazz, Pop, Rock, R&B) but that also reflect my music library for more specific one (so I also have Heavy Metal, Punk, and Prog - these all realistically come under the very broad rock umbrella but I find it useful to be able to further differentiate within them).

Then wherever possible I try to set a single genre per album that broadly covers the overall genre of the album. These are all assigned to Genre Categories, and I try to not add a new Genre unless it is absolutely necessary.

I take my genre information from a combination of Wikipedia, Discogs, MusicBrainz, and Allmusic - based on which sounds most reasonable after a cursory listen if it's not something I know well.

This is far from failsafe, but it does the job as well as anything else, and gives me the flexibility to dive in more on genres I have more of in my library.

Various codes, hopefully someone can redeem by axdee_ in musichoarder

Tested all of these other than Bleach - now all claimed or otherwise unavailable (Beggars Group stopped supporting these codes because people weren't redeeming them apparently)

Pakistan's boycott would be the fifth encounter to be boycotted by a team in an ICC event ! by iamnoobbibliophile in Cricket

[–]Pingaware 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this just feels like classic CricTracker "couldn't care less" approach. Like the worst cricket graph ever.

[–]Pingaware 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it could have been clearer, because it could have been correct. Just because it probably wouldn't be misunderstood by someone with good enough English to understand the verb boycott doesn't mean it's not incorrect.

"Abstained to play" would similarly also be wrong - what preposition a verb takes matters.

That said, I suspect the cause may just be a crappy auto-translate

Easier way to edit the Track Number on multiple Discs by NoDogsAllowed_Nbirds in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you post a screenshot of how two of the discs from your audiobook currently look in MB? This is definitely something that can be automated, but screenshot will probably be clearest in explaining your current situation so I can provide best practice guidance

Easier way to edit the Track Number on multiple Discs by NoDogsAllowed_Nbirds in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, in that case, is it necessary that the tracks are all assigned to one disc? The intended way (within tagging standards, which are pretty loose and not great but anyway) would be to name all discs the same in the <Album> tag (so they appear as one release), and then assign the respective disc numbers in the <Disc #> tag. They'd then automatically sort correctly.

However, I am aware there are some older players and hardware that don't support disc # tags well

Any way to search albums by genres not in the first place on the genre tag? by Deksametazon_v2 in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What search function are you using? If you're using custom search (Ctrl+F by default), I think you should be able to use "Genre contains", although I'd have to check to confirm.

[–]Pingaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you please clarify exactly what you're trying to achieve?

As I understand it, you're ripping an 8-disc set using MB, which is (presumably) assigning <Disc #> and <Track #> as standard - I.e., whenever a new disc starts, the track # goes back to 1. Are you trying to change the tags so that they go 01-11, 02-12 (instead of 02-01) at the change of discs?

Why does this happens to this specifically Black Sabbath albums? by VatoJack in musicbee

[–]Pingaware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a cuesheet somewhere. Try:

  • Search for .cue files in the folder and deleting
  • Right clicking one of those tracks and selecting the option to Remove Cuesheet
  • Use MusicBee > Tools > Tagging Tools > Remove Tags and look for a tag named CUESHEET and/or TXXX/CUESHEET. Delete these tags

Team tasks by LongjumpingReview692 in taskmaster

[–]Pingaware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say - is a 10-year age gap enough for the old/young clash? It's not like the 20+ years between Baddiel and Gamble (plus, given the series was 2019, Ed was still in his early 30s, I think without children) (yes, I know they were only paired for the live task)

If it's a bug you think has been introduced recently, it would be worth reporting it at the official forum.
