So why haven't you downloaded Musicbee yet?
because foobar is better

i used foobar for a full year before i switched to musicbee. i learned everything there is to know about the customization and even learned the script. then i switched to Musicbee, and it did literally everything i wanted foobar to do, right out of the box.
don't fall for memes
My tags are a fucking mess on musicbee but everything is perfect on foobar
i started off using winamp, it worked and i really liked it
then after a couple of months, it shit itself and deleted all the music i'd put on it, even when i managed to get it all up and running again it just refused to work
so i switched to foobar instead, it worked and i really liked it
then after a couple of months, it shit itself and deleted all the music i'd put on it, even when i managed to get it all up and running again it just refused to work
so i switched to musicbee, and its been going strong for well over a year now
the superior choice is pretty obvious
I like foobar more. Also

You buffoon.
>>60884507
machine girl, i like you
>>60884735
literally nothing wrong with embedding. i also save the image to the folder. it's a little bit overkill but there is no disadvantage to it
>>60884810
>embedding the same image on every track
>rack up useless bloat on all your files
>as you probably have at least a hundred or more albums this leads to a gigabyte or more of useless data when you can just have one in-folder image
>>60884855
>not having a 500gb minimum exthdd for music
also, my mp3 player doesnt support folder images so i have to embed when i transfer. space isnt an issue at all lol
>>60884889
I have a 2 TB for music bruv. I use a clip+ so I don't have to worry about that shit either.

Music bee keeps defaulting all my settings. I tried troubleshooting but couldn't find anything at all online. Any help?
Also what themes do you guys use? G play master race here

Wanna give me some tips to make mine look similar to yours, especially the skin, and the library options being vertical on the side. Thanks. :)

what do with this when like 5 different versions of same album i.e. cd & vinyl rips
>>60890194
My skin is DarkCYAN Metro, should be installed by default. View --> Skins to change it.
For vertical tabs go to Preferences, then Layout (1), then under Main Panel there's a dropdown menu for Tabs Bar.
>>60891017
I only keep one version of anything so I wouldn't know.
>>60891056
should I just have one version
is it better?
>>60891178
jesus christ is this bait? why are you listening to different rips choose the best quality and gtfo holy moly
>>60891201
>not comparing multiple CD & vinyl masterings
>>60891178
I don't see the appeal in vinyl rips desu so I never use them. I just go with whatever sounds the best to me.
>>60884507
Still using my 160GB, and Itunes is way more convenient than fiddling around with plugins and shit to sync solely for a more aesthetically looking player.
They all play the same music, who gives a shit.
>>60891466
I own a classic too and it sync with Musicbee fine without plugins.
>>60888099
What skin is this?
>>60891558
dark teal metro
superior musicbee setup coming through

Looks like shit m8, not sure why everyone loves to clutter their main grid with cover art.

oh thank god, I'm gonna switch to the bee soon and I was worried about this
how do i get musicbee on a mac?
>>60892167
Just use iTunes, there's nothing better for Mac.
Though there is Clementine.
R8 my layout
I like foobar so much I wouldn't want to switch
>>60891056
Thanks man! For some reason, the buttons to expand and collapse the Navigation and Now Playing bars are missing on mine, and I can't find a way to enable them. Because of this, I'm stuck with the shitty bar on the left, as I have no way of minimizing/collapsing it. Any diea what is causing this?

Not the same person, but can't you run programs not for Mac though like some sort of emulation software? Or is that just not worth it? I fucking hate Itunes, it can't even find a album cover for some of the most basic albums.
>>60892749
Probably can, but I wouldn't bother. Might as well just make a Windows partition desu.
MusicBee has GOAT album cover search, but if it can't find something I check albumartexchange.com
>>60892693
That was it. Always forget about that button. For some reason, I don't have the option for 'Show/Open Close Buttons', but oh well. Thanks again.
>>60891630
>>60891651
Not a fan of the artist pictures. They are kinda awkward.
how can the layout of this be improved?
is there a way to make the album track list on the right hand side instead of now playing?
>>60891720
>v0
>bad
>>60884524
This.
Musicbee is a functionally limited piece of shit. Can't do an eighth of what Foobar can do.
Though I understand using Musicbee if you just want to press play and receive music. But that's pretty basic.
>>60894554
Why do you have two windows with the exact same information with neither window providing actual important information like bitrate, pathing or year?
>>60894615
>lossy music

>>60892734
4/10
It may be chronologically set up, but that's entirely reliant on your tags being accurate and that's impossible to determine with that layout.
Also impractical is the inability to select certain songs, or rearrange said songs to recreate the playlist on the fly. Also the lack of the ability to create an entirely new playlist with either drag and drop or right click.
Functionally useless and impractical. You might as well be using mplayer.
>>60894611
Where's the seekbar? Why doesn't the playlist have song lengths? Why doesn't the album titles show the year? Where's the menu?
>>60892556
Congrats, you have the least unique taste I've ever seen
>>60892556
You don't need your entirely library at the left. It's cramped, ugly and impractical. Use search instead. This would also free up room on your also cramped playlist, allowing another column or two.
>>60891651
You don't need that entire bottom. Seriously. Your layout is chock full of redundant information.
Also add the codec profile to your bitrate. It helps a ton.
>>60895297
>codec profile
How exactly does it help you nerdy neckbeard faggot?
>>60895176
why would i use a music player for anything else though?
>>60895250
none of this is helpful advice
>>60895361
xx bit FLACs
Determining wav vs. wv
Determining V0 vs. V2 which is NOT always obvious from the avg. bitrate
ABR vs. VBR
Of course these are things most won't need, but you will if you ever use private trackers for music. Or care about your library at all.
>>60895388
Encoding, library management, tag editing (with scripting). All things Musicbee cannot do without heavy limitations. Last time I used it you could only have 3 encoding profiles using a bare-bones interface. It was like using MusicMatch.
>>60895410
Forgot about AAC. Of course you could make that redundant by an extension column, which is helpful in cases, but mostly unnecessary in the light of how useful the profile is instead.
>>60895394
I have little to no idea of how you can get out of bed without falling on your stupid face.
>>60895193
Well the main window is actually an album grid, but when i open an album this is what happens.
To the right is a playlist which I rarely actually use, but sometimes I queue multiple albums or something like that.
And the track info is located on the lyrics panel, it's a different tab so I just have to switch it if I want to see it.
>>60884524
This.
>>60884507
>>60895501
Wouldn't it be simpler to adapt one onto the other, for that exact purpose of queuing? Switch from album grid -> Playlist.
With the ability to remove or add as necessary while still retaining the base functionality.
By doing so you can move the details out of the tab and into its own window at the top, replacing the playlist.
>>60895544
Maybe, but the main reason I have it like this is because of the album cover. I like to have it as big as possible and it seems the only way to do it is to make it like this. I don't have a widescreen monitor so if I put it anywhere on the side panels it would be too tiny.
>>60884552
B-but Foobar looks nicer, anon.
>>60884810
I actually only save the image to the folder, not to the track.
Also it's extremely convenient for when I need to post an album here as I can just pull it straight off my drive.
>>60895593
Proper way to do it. Embedding is an awful philosophy that leads to fools accidentally putting 10mb into each file and not noticing because lol. Plus certain edition album arts. Always let the user choose which files they'd like to receive their files in.
>>60895561
Oh, I know, but this guy >>60891651 has the right idea. I mean Christ, it was the default Foobar option from 1.x.x on. It should be easy to do in a piece of 2015 software.
