Besides, I think all the lyrics gathered manually (by me and my daughter) during the years since the lyrics plugin stopped working have disappeared! I thought gMusicBrowser saved them at an external location to its folders, in a local directory accesible by other programs or to be edited externally... but now it seems that it was saved under its own subdirectories and now all the lyrics are gone when the Ubuntu upgrade removed the sofware :-((((

I have to apologize and correct myself. It's strange that "find" command didn't find them, but they are under my home directory in /.lyrics folder, stored in one folder per artist, and in .lyric format which seems to be just another extenstion for TXT files. I found out about this possible location reading about rhythmbox storing lyrics there, so I looked there just in case... and bingo! It's a good thing that various programs use the same format and location.

So I guess that if I manage to reinstall under Ubuntu 22.04 the gMusicBrowser will find them again.

I think it's always a good software design principle to separate programs from data.

Hi, I've just upgraded from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS and seen that gMusicBrowser has been removed by the upgrade process. What is the reason for that? Should I reinstall it?

Thanks.

Hi. Since I first began using this great software I missed the possibility of grouping by various values, in the same way that you can put various Genres to a song. For example, I'd like to group a song under "Instrumental" and "Galician Bands" and whatever else I'd like to use to classify, not related to musical Genres, which obviously has its own field, of course.

But I just can't. I tried to write various grouping-values in that field with a semicolon to separate, and also with a comma, but it doesn't work. Nor can a select multiple in the pop-up menu of already used grouping criteria. Is there a trick to do it? If so, which would be the syntax? Or is it just a lacking function of gMusicBrowser?

If somebody has managed to do multiple Grouping, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

I've just found the database at /home/manu/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc file, but sadly no trace remains of those deleted folders :-( Maybe if I had found it sooner before the file was updated and those references deleted from the library file, I would have been able to find the album names there.

Thanks. I didn't know about that tool, but as far as the files were lost many months ago, and the disk has been in use since then, most of the data will surely be overwritten by now. My main hope is to find the album names at the gMusicBrowser database and then try to get them again one by one from other sources :-/

I'll try to figure out where the database is and then open it with some external tool to take a look at the play history.

Hi everybody.

Nice to keep enjoying this great player since some years now...

Recently I happened to delete by mistake a full directory of albums from my disk. Next time I opened gMusicBrowser, all those albums were removed, no doubt.

I'd like to recover those albums, but I don't know which were (no trace at my disk!). I was wondering if gMusicBrowser keeps a play history (I guess it does) at its database, and how could I take a look at it so I can search for the names of all those deleted albums, for I remember the name of the cointaining folder (they were stylistically organized).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance.

I got the same problem. Is there a way to configure that music must stop when an album ends?? It's so basic and so annoying... I've searched around the buttons and settings but still haven't found how to do it!

Is there anybody here who can help? Thanks in advance.
