Update alert and update within app
When a new version of bliss is available, it would be cool if you could be alerted to this from within the web app and also upgrade just by clicking on a button

Web based tag editor
Implement a tag editor style user interface in bliss, to enable full web based tag editing. This would make bliss an ideal complement to music servers. bliss can be installed on the server meaning there is no requirement to add software to laptops/desktops/tablets, you can just perform tag editing from your browser.
Future ideas (to create separate ideas for):
- Ability to distinguish between id3vX versions and independently edit or delete.25 votes -
A Mac version of bliss
bliss currently runs on Windows and Linux. A Mac version would obviously be useful for Mac users; also Mac Minis are used a lot for storing and listening to digital music. Installation on a Mac Mini would make a lot of sense!

Rule to allow/convert different image formats
I have several albums for which bliss inserted a cover.gif file in the album directory. What I want is only cover.jpg files, not gif files.
Examples:
artist = Stephen Gately, album = New Beginnings
artist = The New Tradition Chorus, album = Broadway
artist = Grandma's Boys, album = When the Toy Soldiers Marched on Parade...
artist = Platinum, album = Auld Lang Syne
artist = Shania Twain, album = Come on Over
artist = The Beach Boys, album = Made in U.S.A.21 votesI’m pleased to say this is released: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2016/12/19/release-20161213-album-cover-image-format/

Tag editor - filter by album and/or artist name
Currently the tag editor displays all albums (a page or two at a time) that I have in my collection. It would be great to be able to filter by album name and/or artist name.
That being said...it's still pretty convenient.

Remember Setting for Number of Albums per Page
Great that you can select up to 96 albums per page, but Bliss "forgets" the setting and resets to 12 per page so you have to keep changing back to 96...

Upgrade to better quality artwork automatically
When I specify a minimum resolution, and the existing art is below that resolution, I want bliss to find art of a higher resolution and install it automatically. At the moment, it just marks the art as being too small and I have to pick an alternative.

Browsing by artist
Currently bliss only allows browsing by album. I would like to be able to browse by artist and examine the compliancy of albums for each particular artist. If an album is uncompliant, its artist should be uncompliant too.

warn for missing & fill in missing tags info
To make good use of the search engine it's important that tags contain all relevant info. Like year, music genre etc. This is often missing in the embedded info

Add Rescan button
A Rescan button would be useful to allow manually initiation of bliss scanning the music library to look for new albums. An Abort Scan button, to stop the scan, would also be useful.
This is similar to how SqueezeBox Server works.15 votesThis feature is complete and released: http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/04/26/new-release-20110421-pause-rescan/ .
Alongside the changes for http://bliss.uservoice.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1336719-make-startup-scan-faster-don-t-rescan-on-every-s there will be a pause button to stop bliss listening to the file system. When this occurs, any currently running rule assessment/fixes will be completed and then the scan will pause.
A start scan button will re-start the scan from where it left off.
When bliss is started, it will no longer start the scan automatically. You will have to press the start button for the scan to begin.

To add an 'ignore directorory' feature
Add a feature which will ignore certain folders in a scan, for example you could choose to ignore 'various artists' as you know that it would be hard to find accurate artwork for these
15 votesThis feature is now released: http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/08/16/new-release-20110809/index.html
Initially this will work using files called .bliss-ignorefiles and .bliss-ignorefolders. The former ignores all music files in the directory it is stored in. The latter ignores all child folders in the directory it is stored in. In the various artists case, store .bliss-ignorefolders inside Various/ or whatever and it should do the trick.
Should be released on the 16th August (with beta a week before).
As an aside, I really like Derek’s idea and I think it will work well with the ‘multiple library’ approach. Not only could you define rules for multiple libraries, but also for nested libraries where the nested library may inherit rules from the parent apart from some you’d rather not.

Adding 'browse' upload option for adding album art
There is an excellent custom album art option today for adding a URL to the albym art image. Sometimes you have the album art on a local file, and a quick way to add album art through BLISS would be to upload it through a 'browse' button providing a standard explorer window that you manually locate the desired image file.

Automatic tag correction
I expected Bliss to fix missing tags automatically (genres, years, etc.). I have around 3,000 albums in my library, over 1,000 of which don't have a year. I was surprised that a scan didn't automatically fix this. Instead, I need to go to my "Inbox" and tell it to fix these, but only up to 96 at a time - that's over 100 clicks to fix them all (hardly automated). Can't Bliss be set to automatically fix anything you put in your criteria without so much manual intervention?

A version of Bliss that will run on a Synology Diskstation NAS.
I have Squeezebox Server running on my Synology NAS, and it would be fantastic if Bliss would as well, so I wouldn't have to use my PC laptop to maintain the artwork files. Putting Bliss on the NAS would create a true "set and forget" situation.
13 votesBuild 20111221 ( http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/01/03/new-release-20111221-clear-rescan/index.html ) contains a change to the Linux script to allow choice of java by altering JAVA_HOME.
JAVA_EXEC=java
if [ -e “${JAVA_HOME}” ]
then
JAVA_EXEC=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java
fiexec ${JAVA_EXEC} ${VMARGS} […]
So, override JAVA_HOME before you call the script if you want to control the java exe, e.g.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/; ./bliss.sh
I’m aware that this manual installation is not the nicest-possible solution, however without solid evidence that a fully packaged Diskstation add-on would be worth my time I am not working on that for now. Please open a new idea for a full packaged version if that’s what you want.

To be able to adjust the file tags using web editor PER ALBUM.
I'm glad to see that the file tags can be adjusted using the tags menu, but the problem is that all files are listed in one big long list, making it extremely clumsy when trying to find and update a single album.
What would be best if from the album list, just click the album to show all information about the album, and allow anything to be changed, file paths, cover art, file tags, genre, etc.
In this case making it much easier to update incorrect or missing tags.
Also it would be good to be able to apply tag…12 votesThis is now supported in the album page tag editor: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/03/01/release-20180301-album-tags/

Option of automatically adding ID3v2 tags where required
I have been working on fixing some of the uncompliant albums. A fair few of them are missing the ID3v2 tag, in which case all that is required to fix (rescan) is to press the "add ID3v2 tag" button. This could be done automatically. Maybe provide a setting for this "automatically add ID3v2 tag if missing" or ask to apply to all when pressing this type of button (once or three times). Would save a lot of unnecessary manual work.
Great program by the way.
Cheers

I’ll add the ability to “disallow” tags later, and maybe cover different file formats. Please create separate ideas for those.
WRT the cover art rule, this will remain as-is, but when no ID3v2 tag is encountered an additional response will be to enable the tag type rule to require ID3v2.3.

Make it easier to see if there is alternative art
On the overview screen you click the 'pencil' to change art. Sometimes there has been no art found, but you must click on the pencil to see this. It would be better if some indication was given on the overview screen if there are alternatives found.
