This bug is very strange. The only idea I have is that your antivirus software blocking Winyl some way.

Could you try with the portable version and see if it works?

You mean in the library view? It's not possible at the moment.

Winyl - General / Re: Auto-Tagging Feature
« on: March 28, 2018, 05:52:07 PM »
I recommend to use any 3rd-party software for auto-tagging like Mp3tag, MusicBrainz Picard etc.
Of course, if someone wants to implement it in Winyl, I don't mind.

Winyl - Bug Reports / Re: Blurry winyl icon
« on: March 07, 2018, 08:25:02 PM »
OK, it seems it fixed. Windows handle external icons so differently in some cases.
I also changed the custom icon name to Main.ico instead of Winyl.ico, it conflicts with some stuff.
You can test it with the x64 test version: http://vinylsoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=127431.0

Winyl - General / x64 test version
« on: March 07, 2018, 08:17:51 PM »
x64 test version is available and can be downloaded here: http://vinylsoft.com/download/winyl_portable_x64_test.zip
Only portable version for now.
The behaviour of this version should be exactly the same as 32-bit version.
If you find any differences in the behavior, bugs or crushes let me know.

Winyl - General / Winyl is open-source now
« on: March 02, 2018, 04:41:09 PM »
The hardest part is finished. Winyl is open-source now!
It wasn't that easy as I thought and takes longer than I expected. And there is still plenty of work to do.
Also I'll release x64 test version within a week.
Source code: https://github.com/winyl-player/winyl
Build instructions: https://github.com/winyl-player/winyl/blob/master/BUILD.md
New website will be here: https://winyl-player.github.io (under construction)
The forum and the old website still be available for several months.
Check this old post for more info about the new website and Patreon: http://vinylsoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=127427.0

There is no difference in the number of files. The algorithm is actually pretty simple, there can't be any bugs.
Make sure that all .mp3 files in one album embed the same cover art, and you don't have any jpeg/png files with the name that contains "Front" or "Cover" in the album folder.

Winyl uses the following algorithm when search for the cover art:
1. Search for jpeg/png file with name that contains "Front" or "Cover"
2. Read the cover art from tags
3. Search for jpeg/png file with name "Folder"
If all steps fail then use 1st jpeg/png file.
Also the properties dialog always prioritizes the cover art from tags,
but the player always prioritizes the cover art from jpeg/png file so you can change it without editing tags.
In short, if you need that the player always use the cover art from tags, then album folder should not contain jpeg/png files with name "Front" or "Cover".

Winyl - Bug Reports / Re: A couple bugs, 1 feature request
« on: February 22, 2018, 09:06:02 AM »I'm probably not going to want to re-tag every file, because I've got them on a usb thumb drive - and I've heard that the more you write and rewrite files on that media, the faster you shorten it's lifespan. So if I rewrite the tags, doesn't that rewrite the whole file?For most audio formats only a header will be rewritten, I believe the only exception is .ogg. Anyway, you shouldn't care much about the number of rewrites, it's very big.
Also you don't need to rewrite all files, only this particular artist.
I was wondering if the album tag is the reason why it keeps showing the same cover-art as well, or is that related to a different issue?Yes, it is the same issue. But either solution will work because the cover art changes when the album or folder changed as I mentioned before.

Now I see. The main problem that all of these mixes are albums but they have the same album tag and they are located in the same folder, so for the player these files look like part of one album, this is where everything goes wrong. To fix this you need to:
1. Change the album tag: Orchestrance 218 for Orchestrance 218, Orchestrance 219 for Orchestrance 219 etc.
2. And if you want to use "Folders", you need to move every file to a different subfolder. The folder structure should look like this:
Ahmed Romel (Artist folder)
- Orchestrance 218 (Subfolder in Ahmed Romel folder)
-- Orchestrance 218.mp3 (file in subfolder Orchestrance 218)
- Orchestrance 219 (Subfolder in Ahmed Romel folder)
-- Orchestrance 219.mp3 (file in subfolder Orchestrance 219)
etc.
Also you can use only second solution if you don't want to change tags in these files. Sorting in "Artists" still be incorrect because it based on tags, but it fixes everything else. And you can just use "Folders" for this artist.

The following issues:
the sorting changes the first file in the listlooks really strange. How do you tag your files? Because these issues should not appear with properly tagged files. Screenshots would be really helpful.
the cover-art from the first file you play is retained in winyl's main window
all the files appear to be songs in a single album, when in fact each file is it's own mix of songs
Ideally, if there is no sort option available to a userIt's planned, and it's high priority right now.
