1. Interface Issues, and Override of Automatic Fixes

   This is frustrating. I have an album from Boss Hog called Boss Hog. I have an EP from them called girl+. When I rip the EP, it is tagged more or less correctly by my Vortexbox. Bliss, however, renames the EP to the name of the album, and moves all the files into the album's folder. The only way to change them back seems to be to click on the Tags header, scroll through 10000 tracks that are not in any particular order (ordered by artist, yes, but not all loaded, and not sorted by track -- that's a pretty basic SQL change to order by more than one field) and edit the album name track by track.

   Difficult to find tracks in the first place, but after each edit, it quickly flashes "Success" but then refreshes the webpage meaning that for each track, I now have to scroll through the huge list again. Moreover, even though it flashed "Success" this was only true some of the time -- took editing one of the tracks 3 times before it actually changed.

   So, overriding needs to be easier. And, getting to where one is going should be as well -- how about an alphabet across the top of the page so I could just click "B" to at least get close -- even better, auto detect that I have lots of "B" music, and add a "Bo" option.

   In fact, this should be on all the pages -- Albums, Artist, etc. -- there does not seem to be any good reason to load up groups of 96 and fast forward to where something might be. That works for small collections, but as they grow, it is really inconvenient.

2. bliss seems to bog down with latest release

   Not sure why but bliss seems to have got stock at 207 albums. Last activity was fingerprinting some files about 30 mins ago.

4. Doesn't seem to work with root of HDD

   I store my music in a partition X:\ but if I tell bliss to scan X:\ then it completes really quickly (1sec) without making any changes. If I copy all of the music to a subfolder (eg. X:\music), then Bliss operates correctly.

5. Add more options to folder and file structure rules

   I would like to see the following options in the folder and files structure rules:
   1. Replace spaces by underscores in folder and file names.
   2. Use two-digit track numbers in file names.

   This would allow bliss to match the behavior of the VortexBox CD ripper, so that albums restructured by bliss would have identical folder and file names as albums ripped on VortexBox.

   Thanks Ron, as you say this is already supported. I’m open to your ideas about default rules though! Also: maybe the VB version of bliss should default to the VB ripper’s default structure.

   hi, this looks like it could be great but for people like me who have all their music on a NAS server it can't scan any music on mapped drives or network shares.

   Thanks for this. AFAIUI mapped drives (Windows) should appear in the Browse dropdown. If there’s something specific you want to see in the Browse dropdown, please create a new idea.

7. Being able to select to view non-compliant albums only.

   Currently, bliss lists all albums whether they are compliant or not. Given that I only need to work on the non-compliant ones,I don't see the need to list the compliant ones. Perhaps a Filter By menu option could be provided?

   There is an option to filter by compliance, see an example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dan-gravell/6124541000/in/photostream click on ‘any compliance’ and then choose from the options.

   Thanks for the suggestion and feedback, unfortunately there’s no way I’d be able to switch bliss away from the Java platform. This is mainly due to programming resources – I’m but one developer and would have to maintain far more code for each different OS supported.

   Please sent me your debug.zip (as described here: http://www.blisshq.com/support/reporting-problems.html ) to diagnose the Java exception

    Until I get a more detailed description I can’t do much about this. Some improvements have been made in bliss on VB with regards a few database corruption problems, hopefully this has largely solved this idea now.

12. Provide a View Filter to Show Only Those Albums Which Are Non-Compliant

    I am currently working through my collection and have a lot of non-compliant Albums, but I have to ignore all the Compliant ones as a search through. As my collection improves I will have to do more searching...a filter (or alternatively a search order which shows non-compliant Albums first) would help

    Clicking it would make bliss download the update, install and restart.

    After looking into the feasibility of this idea, I decided not to go forward. bliss is still installable on WHS using the standard setup.exe installer. An upcoming version of bliss will also include scripts to install bliss as a Windows service.

    It’s a bit of a pain to create because MSI files have to be created on Windows, and the existing build is all automated in Linux. Actually it’s quite a large pain. During testing I was building the WHS version on a Windows machine in Amazon EC2, but to automate this build it would be a pain in the ass.

    Furthermore the MSI installation was inelegant – you cannot easily install Java at the same time (you can only copy the files). Copying the files meant a massive 60MB-odd installer.

    And I didn’t even get to test the MSI on Vail…

17. Add Album Art Exchange search

    bliss should find art at http://www.albumartexchange.com/

    It’s with heavy heart that I’ve decided to shelve this idea for now. AAX has some great artwork but they just don’t appear open to allowing API access to get at the art. Until they do this an integration with bliss is impossible. If they do, I’ll re-open the idea.

18. Saving an image file in the album directory should be optional

    At the moment, if a directory/folder contains only an album then bliss always saves an art image file in it.

    This should be optional.

    Duplicate of http://bliss.uservoice.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1608043-enforce-zero-one-or-many-separate-cover-art-files?ref=title which is also a more powerful generalisation.

19. Add Yahoo image search

    bliss currently uses Google as a 'fallback' image source if the authoritative sources cannot find the record. This is useful for badly tagged music and rare music. Add Yahoo as a source for such music and you have more of a chance of a correct match.
