Hi!
After the request for cue sheet support (thanks a lot!), I'm testing Muso.
My pc is with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and I connect Muso to LMS (7.9) on a linux machine.
Importing the db was ok, but with strange result.
The total number of tracks (and album) in Muso is not equal that in LMS: Muso reports 10 000 tracks less than LMS.
Why this?
About querying the db.
LMS has several ways to browse the music library, also an advanced search option.
In Muso I can see only a search filter.
Is this the only way to make a search in the db? No advanced query option?
For the player.
I use LMS often, but sometimes I use foobar installed on my Windows machine.
I know that foobar is supported, but I can not select it as player because I use a portable installation.
Is possible to set the folder where foobar is stored?
Some little bug.
The Help page (and initial screen in Muso) is not scrollable for me (also if I click inside the page).
To read all the text I must select and drag the text...
Also it seems that the "Now Palying" page is not always syncronized. I select an album to play and all was fine in listening, but the NP page reports the old page...
I think is enough for this time!
First steps with Muso: questions
Re: First steps with Muso: questions
How did you import? From LMS or a file/folder scan? If from LMS did you do a full import or a "quick" import? You would need to do a full import. You could send me the import log to investigate.mauri_va wrote: Importing the db was ok, but with strange result.

Muso has several ways to browse the library (see http://musoware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), but only a single filter. What would you want in an advanced query option?mauri_va wrote:About querying the db.

It searches for it by process name rather than by location. Make sure you have turned on foobar as a player in Options/Players, then start foobar, and Muso should ist it as a player.mauri_va wrote:For the player.

I'll investigate the help page - thanks.mauri_va wrote:Some little bug.

I would need a diagnostics log (muso2.log file) to investigate the NP issue, if it's readily repeatable - you can turn this on via the little bug top right.

I don't know where is the import log.
Could be tracks with non supported audio format?
There is very much to explore in Muso, sorry for newbie question!musoware wrote:Muso has several ways to browse the library (see http://musoware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), but only a single filter. What would you want in an advanced query option?mauri_va wrote:About querying the db.

What I'm looking for is an easy way to filter on a specific field of db or make simple query like:
- select * where 'specific-field' is empty
- select * where 'field1' = 'value1' and 'field2' = 'value2'
(basic sql here, I'm not an expert!!!)
Thank you! It works.musoware wrote:It searches for it by process name rather than by location. Make sure you have turned on foobar as a player in Options/Players, then start foobar, and Muso should ist it as a player.mauri_va wrote:For the player.

No much info about that.

I downloaded today the offline setup and update Muso to 2.5.18 (I think I was on 2.5.17 before).
Now I got the scroll bar on help page: I don't know if it was the previous version or the installation type (online setup/offline setup).

In my recent listening no problem: when I find a new error I try to save a log...
Thank you very much for attention: really appreciated!
Re: First steps with Muso: questions
Yes you probably need to add to the list of supported file types muso will look for (Tools > Options > Configuration tab > Importing). Log files are under C:\Users\Public\Music\muso\logs.mauri_va wrote:I did a full import from LMS...musoware wrote:How did you import? From LMS or a file/folder scan?

I think as you play with Muso more you'll start to appreciate the various ways you can browse your library - though browsing is more at the album level rather than track. I could introduce some more advanced search/filter in the database view if it's required.mauri_va wrote:There is very much to explore in Muso, sorry for newbie question!musoware wrote:Muso has several ways to browse the library (see http://musoware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), but only a single filter.
