He tardado demasiado en descubrir que puedes escuchar emisoras de radio desde el reproductor MusicBee.
Y he activado el scrobble de last.fm para las emisoras, con algunas funciona y por lo general pilla bien los temas PERO también pilla los anuncios
Implemented submission of tags to my MusicBrainz Sync plugin for MusicBee! Also got the function working in a way where I don't need to keep rewriting code. Getting so close to completion now.
Finally got OAuth setup properly! I have to fix some UI-related problems but I'll do that tomorrow.
It's a bit funny that the reason I'm working on a plugin for MusicBee and coding it in Windows/Visual Studio, is so my workflow of transferring music metadata to MusicBrainz can be done on Linux lol.
@ComputerBase #Musicbee ist der beste Musicplayer für mich. Schlank und einfach zu bedienen. Verbessern braucht man den nicht. Er tut was er soll und das zuverlässig, einfach und gut
Kostenloser Musik-Player: MusicBee 3.6 bringt zahlreiche Neuerungen https://www.computerbase.de/news/apps/kostenloser-musik-player-musicbee-3-6-bringt-zahlreiche-neuerungen.91808/ #musicbee
pro-tip for Linux users: if you're going to suggest any players for those moving from MusicBee, remember that VLC is not going to be an option for them.
VLC is a perfectly cromulent player, but it was never built for the iTunes style music library organisation that's part of the core of MusicBee.
While I’m here, I’ve been maintaining the WineHQ AppDB page for MusicBee, reporting bugs and whatnot. Noticed that a WINE maintainer had closed one of my reported bugs, and it turns out WINE 9.22 stable fixes the font redirection bug I had with MusicBee.
Honestly great to see MusicBee getting attention from the WINE devs. It’s an app I’ve consistently seen as a reason people stick to Windows over Linux. The native players just don’t scratch the same itches that MusicBee does.
If you’re wondering: yes, the font redirection is fixed on CJK fonts, tested with Arch Linux in a VM. Genuinely didn’t think that would happen. I’ll have to test with allfonts since some symbols still show up as boxes, but at least it’s not occurring on CJK stuff now.
Also, WINE 9.21 fixes a bug with tab dragging on MusicBee specifically. Seems like WINE’s given MusicBee some love haha.
Pausing my break for a brief moment, since I need testers.
If you have Chinese/Japanese/Korean music tagged with their native language, and Arch Linux (incl. derivatives) can you test MusicBee with WINE Staging and a non-default font (like Noto Sans)? It appears that a long-standing bug regarding font redirection might be fixed!

(If I don't answer back, give me a nudge on Bluesky (flaky.bsky.social) or Rate Your Music (flaky_bastard). I must stress that I am not active on fedi.)
Okay, #MusicBee is a no go for me (I already crashed it once and it dumped obfuscated stack traces into Event Viewer) and #Foobar2000 must be dropped as the (original) author appears to be a shitweasel.
What Windows (& Mac, & Linux) local audio player should I use?
Bounced hard off Strawberry https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ (paid Windows binaries is A Choice)
I'm apparently the maintainer for MusicBee 3.x on WINE's AppDB now. Did I get shitfaced and submit an application?
Wow!
First of all, thank you for your excellent taste
Secondly, there may just be the thing for you:
I've ditched lastfm for ListenBrainz, which I can scrobble to from my phone using #PanoScrobbler and on my desktop straight from my media player (#MusicBee) or my browser using #WebScrobbler.
There are a few things that don't get scrobbled, most sadly #Faircamp, but on the plus side one can create nice collages and stats of what they listened to, eg https://listenbrainz.org/user/axwax/stats/?range=this_week
