Why do you need a plugin when there are already 2 separate ways to accomplish this effect now?

Plugins / Addons / Re: WebLyrics AddOn .. how to use it?
« on: September 26, 2020, 00:17:25 »
See the image below. Also, realize that the plugin uses only 2 sources so there will be cases where no lyrics are found to display. Finally, be sure you have it checked in your Plugins list.

Questions / Re: Deleting playlists
« on: September 25, 2020, 05:01:02 »
In Managing Playlists, right-click the list and choose "Remove selected from list"--or, just click on the list name and hit the Delete key. The playlist (NOT the files on it) will be sent to the Recycle Bin after a confirmation dialog.

Questions / Re: FINE ADJUSTING PITCH LEVEL
« on: September 23, 2020, 22:00:26 »is that a way for play songs with 432 hz or am i wrong?
Yes. However, when I experimented with this I noticed audio artifacts/glitches were introduced during playback in AIMP.
Another "advertised" way to accomplish this is by adjusting the playback rate--or "Speed" in AIMP--instead of the pitch to .98X; I did not notice any audible glitches with that method.
I occasionally do the latter when listening to radio streams meant to be background music anyway, but prefer my audio files "straight up".

Questions / Re: Add different albums at once in a single new created playlist for each album?
« on: September 13, 2020, 19:41:47 »
That scared me too when I first noticed it, but I made a test playlist and populated it with some duplicate files, and went through with the process. I can verify that the only file that gets deleted is indeed the *.aimppl4 playlist file itself, and that just goes to the Recycle Bin. The actual music files are not touched.

Check your Windows "autoplay" settings.

As far as the order issue, you can click and drag them up or down the list once dropped in there.

Questions / Re: How do I import m3u playlists
« on: September 09, 2020, 03:48:33 »
Yes, just choose "Import Playlist" (CTRL+L) from the bottom right corner button of the playlist window and browse to the list, it will import m3u/m3u8 lists and convert them to AIMP's format for use within it.

Questions / Re: How could one copy all of the enabled tracks to a special folder?
« on: September 04, 2020, 18:26:01 »
You could "select all files" from the "..." button, then set a hotkey in the "Files: send to" section for the function "Copy to..". That should be 3 steps if you use the "set as default" after specifying the folder for the "Copy to" operation the first time. Unfortunately this wouldn't weed out just the "enabled" tracks, not sure if that can be done without selecting those manually first.

Questions / Re: My equaliser settings are missing
« on: August 30, 2020, 18:44:40 »
Did you check inside EQPresetsLibrary.ini in your Profile folder to see if they're actually gone? Maybe there is a limit to how many the GUI can load at once for selecting, but Artem would have to comment on that.

Bugs / Re: Editing mp3 tag cuts the last 4+ seconds off the song
« on: August 20, 2020, 01:18:02 »
No, the problem wasn't caused by Mp3gain, if you're talking about why the file got corrupted after you edited the ID3 tag and saved in AIMP. That was a bug.
The APE tag itself is not actually a "problem", except that its use has become deprecated in terms of most of its original intentions now being handled by storage into ID3v.2 replaygain/normalization tags instead. It was originally created for use by the APE lossless file type and the v1 version stores its data at the end of the sound data instead of at the beginning, while a v2 version allowed it to appear at the beginning. For whatever reason Mp3gain used to store its gain info in APEv2 tags instead of ID3.
The APE tag on the sample you sent in addition to containing mp3gain fields also has replaygain fields, and even lyrics and cover art fields, which definitely weren't created by mp3gain.
You're better off (IMO) ditching any APE tags and letting AIMP do its own thing with its built-in Peak Normalization and Replay Gain Normalization options available in its Sound Effects/Volume tab, if you want that kind of modification. That said, I do not use these myself nor do I allow AIMP to use data from any pre-existing replaygain tags so that's where any further advice I can give ends. I'm one of those "old school" types who just adjusts the volume control myself as needed!
P.S. I do still use Mp3gain to adjust "Max No-clip gain" for some files, but without the "undo" option, which then creates no APE tags. I know that if I feel I need to re-adjust later I can do so losslessly in the same app.

Hi, glad that I could help. I think Artem will fix the tag editor issue soon when he sees the thread, he does a damn good job improving this player constantly.
I had a lot of old files that were tagged with APE at one time, mp3gain used to use that format exclusively when doing its gain adjustment tags and some other apps would put replaygain info there instead of in ID3v2. If you want to just dump APE tags altogether where they exist you can set up Kid3 or Mp3tag to do this pretty quickly, if you want help with that PM me.

Thanks for the upload. Using the Kid3 external tagger, the original file shows 3 tags exist in the file--ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3, and an APE tag. The APE tag contains album art and lyrics fields identical to the ones also contained in the ID3v2.3 tag, definitely not a common situation, but also fields like Mp3gain gain/undo info and replay gain fields which was more common in earlier days. Most of that has been migrated to ID3v2.3/4 fields now AFAIK.
The existence of the APE tag is not being recognized in the AIMP Advanced Tag Editor. I believe that when attempting to modify the file's tags through AIMP, a "save" results in the APE tag being stripped from the file by AIMP, resulting in the trim of both the file size and the play time. I noticed that the size of the second album art jpeg in the APE tag so eliminated is an approx. match for the reduction in the file size. Removing just the APE tag via Kid3 and saving it results in a "clean" file in Mp3val, and no reduction in the length of the play time from the original, only the expected amount of file size reduction from the tag content removal.
So this looks like a bug in AIMP 4.70.2224 Tag Editor--not recognizing the APE tag in the MP3, and doing a "messy" removal of same during a tag edit/save operation with the ID3 fields that results in the truncated play time and the problems flagged in Mp3val. The good news is that repairing the file with Mp3val restores the correct play time, albeit minus the APE tag.

I just tried removing some lyrics and line breaks with Tag Editor from an mp3 and the file size, reported play length, and actual playback in AIMP was not changed at all. 4.70.2224. Does this happen with EVERY mp3, or just some? If you check your mp3's with Mp3val, does it turn up any errors?

Questions / Re: Move to playlist?
« on: August 14, 2020, 22:12:38 »
In 4.70.2224, the context menu option "Send to other playlist" copies the entry to another list, but does not remove it from the original list after the copy. Like markzzz I would support adding that option, and maybe changing their names to "Copy to other playlist" and "Move to other playlist."
