Handle Deleted Albums More Elegantly
Bliss seems to remember that an album existed after it has been deleted - and therefore keep looking to determine whether it is compliant or not, even though there is no album to check.
It would be better if Bliss flagged that an album appeared to have vanished (you might want to know if this was by mistake!) but then gave you the option to acknowledge the change so that Bliss "forgets" the album and no longer looks for it.
Probably not spotted before because you don't often delete albums/music - but this happened during some testing of VortexBox/Bliss when…

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...

Solaris 11 Express support
My NAS box runs Solaris 11 Express for the ZFS file system and I'd love to be able to run Bliss as a service on the box itself, but when I try it says "SunOS not supported". Any chance of getting support? I'm happy to help debug if required.

I’ve just changed it so platforms without a file notification hook (such as Solaris right now) will still work, but only manually. You will have to press the rescan button for bliss to assess changes to your music files.

When viewing albums for an artist the "why?" link doesn't expand
When using the artist view then selecting an artist to see the albums in that artist, when you click "why?" for if it's in compliance or not, it doesn't expand to the bullet list of items like it does if you're sorted by album.
Windows XP, Firefox.

a stop button

There will be three buttons: play, pause and rescan. bliss can be either in ‘play’ or ‘pause’ mode. ‘Rescan’ is only possible when in ‘play’ mode.
‘Pause’ pauses all file scans and assessments. ‘Play’ restarts them.
Please, let me know any comments about the suggested changes.

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

Enforce zero, one or many separate cover art files
Different music systems/apps use different naming conventions, and it would be helpful to be able to rename and/or duplicate existing art to work with those. Rules could be added to allow multiple art files in a folder with certain names, or enforce that only one would remain with a certain name. Also, the rule should be able to enforce no separate art, or just ignore separate files altogether.

Control zero padding for track number in file names
The <tracknumber> token currently reads the track number tag for a music file, and uses it verbatim for the expected file path. This means if the tag says '1' it will use '1', or if '01' it will use '01'.
Additionally, if the tracks in an album number greater than nine, then bliss will also add an automatic padding of one zero to all single digit tracks.
This idea would allow users to specify they always want a minimum number of zeroes padding in their filenames, so even if there's, say, an EP of six tracks the numbering would be…
9 votesThis feature is now released, as per http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/12/14/new-release-20111206-padding-file-org-acoustic-fingerprints/index.html
The <tracknumber> token changes to behave as follows:
<tracknumber> : The track number as-is
<tracknumber:n> : The track number, minimum one digit
<tracknumber:nn> : The track number, minimum two digits (etc for any number of "n"s)
<tracknumber:auto> : The track number, leading zeros dependent on size of albumBecause the old behaviour of <tracknumber> was the same as <tracknumber:auto>, your settings will be updated to the latter.

Control number of embedded artworks
In many music file types it is possible to save multiple artworks. However, not all music players cope with this very well.
This could be solved by adding extra entries to the embedded art option - adding a 'embed, but only one artwork per file' option.

Shrink artwork (due to data size) should be automatic
When art is too large (in terms of data size) the shrink artwork option is manual, I have to go through each album and click the fix. I'd rather they were all shrunk automatically.

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.

Install bliss as a Windows service
Windows has 'services' which are applications that are started when the computer starts. bliss is ideal for servers that are running 24x7, and so it would be useful to configure bliss to run at startup.
A current workaround, without Windows service support, is to start bliss as a 'Scheduled Task' at startup.

Allow editing of the genre tree
The allowable genre tree is a hierarchy of genres, from most general to most specific. It is populated with a large, best guess tree.
I would like to include some genres that are not in the tree, and to potentially edit the structure of the tree. The genre tree should allow me to add genres at any level, and edit existing genres. The tree should be saved across restarts.

ability to increase the number of albums shown on a page, 12 albums doesn't cut it.
ability to increase the number of albums shown on a page. Going through a large collection 12 albums at a time just doesn't cut it.

Add <cdnumber> to custom file/folder template
I like to put Albums/Compilations containing multiple CDs into one folder. The files should then be named 1-0X Title for the first CD, 2-0X for the second CD, and so on.
Currently with bliss, this is impossible.

allowing single digit tracks to be stored as two digits
I would like my track numbers stored in two digits. For example I would prefer track #2 to be renamed and stored as track #02.
This applies to tags, not filenames.
7 votesThis feature has now been released:
The rule is called ‘Track number length at least’ and there are four settings: ignore, auto, two digits and three digits.
‘Auto’ will work the same as the file compliance stuff – it will depend on the number of tracks in an album already. If more than nine and less than one hundred, it will be one leading zero, for instance.

Make startup scan faster - don't rescan on every start
Currently bliss seems to be scanning everything from scratch when it's started. For me this easily takes longer than 30 minutes with about 1000 albums.
I suggest that bliss should do a quicker scan in the beginning, for instance just checking whether the files have changed since bliss last scanned them. This would make startup much faster without any adverse effects that I can see.
8 votesThis feature was released in version 20110506 – http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/05/12/new-release-20110506-dont-rescan-on-start/
The initial behaviour is that across restarts the old data will be re-used.
That is unless the old data was created with different version of bliss, in which case bliss will rescan afresh with the same behaviour as now.

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.
