MusicBee

What works

Everything I have tried!

• Scanning / importing tracks
• Reorganizing tracks based on rules
• Playback
• Notification icon in system tray, and all of its functions
• Plugins
  • last.fm (Scrobble / Love tracks, sync play count and love from Last.FM)
  • MusicBee Remote (using android app, v1.5.1, no issues)
• Drag/drop tracks into playlists, and reordering (see note: must used MusicBee 3.0!)
• Right-click menus (haven't found any issues)
• Playlist Manager
• Auto DJ (sucks, though)
• Layout Configuration
  • All panel configuration worked
  • Custom font selection (works with dotnet48 / gdiplus - without them the config doesn't stick)

What does not

• Crashes if you go to Preferences > File Converters

Workarounds

• Install dotnet48
• Install gdiplus

What was not tested

• Lyrics
• Theatre Mode

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

• Using MusicBee 3.0 because later versions break track drag/drop in Wine (can't reorder tracks, this is a deal breaker!)
  • This issue is present in all versions of Wine (tested up to 7.13)
  • This issue is present in all later versions of MusicBee, 3.1 - 3.4 tested
• You must install dotnet48 and gdiplus to work around these issues:
  • Can't use custom font (doesn't crash, but doesn't actually work either)
  • Crash when adding text to Moods tag (2nd tag tab)
  • Random crashes after a period (no particular action triggers crash, just happens randomly after a few hours)
• Personal theme preference...
  • Applied a dark theme to wine (google it, there's a registry key)
  • Set DPI set to 120 in winecfg > display
  • MusicBee theme DarkORANGE
  • MusicBee custom font "DejaVu Sans Condensed" at 11pt
