Title: Adding a Bio
Post by: LonWar on July 07, 2003, 10:55:29 am

I have seen in some views that you can view the Bio, Lyrics and notes of the tracks (songs). I have found the field for the Lyrics and notes, But I can not find were I can add the Bio info....

Can someone tell me were it is?

King,

would you be a little more specific, please! I installed and started your plugin, but I do not see any Bios button under Properties! Thank you!

If you click on some of the fields a "Edit" button Will Show Up, In this Case It Is BIOS

Fields sometimes hide (Bug)...try using the NEXT/Previous button on the bottom to get out of the File Info section and then return to the File Info section...this will make the hidden fields appear

Options, Tree View Settings.

there should be a list of fields, and bios should be one.

if not you may have deleted it.

King-
I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't have a bios field either, and I'm pretty sure I never deleted it.

King,

sorry, did not realize that there were two separate plugins - a bios viewer and a bios finder! So after installing and starting bios finder I searched for Bios of Bee Gees that was found.

But the Bee Gees Bios is not saved anywhere. A bios field does not exist in the MC9 database (and was never deleted!). Suspect it may only work with MP3, but not APE! My files are APE format!

Or what do I miss? I have installed the following of your plugins: Artist Bios Finder, Bios and Lyrics Viewer, Chart Finder and Cover Art Finder! Thanks for helping!

Are the bios stored on every single track? I assume yes, but maybe not...

>> what do I miss?
I said add the field.

Note The "Add" button on the picture.

it will be saved to the database if it can't be saved in the file.

use the picture to add the data for that field.
