  1. 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.

    Build 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
    fi

    exec ${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.

  2. Add genre to 'File organisation' rules

    I would like to use genre as part of my folder structure. It helps me to remember the general category of an artist when I browse through my music collection.

  3. 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…

  4. 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...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    This feature has now been released: http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/09/27/new-release-20110922/index.html

    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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

    This 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 album

    Because the old behaviour of <tracknumber> was the same as <tracknumber:auto>, your settings will be updated to the latter.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

    This feature has now been released:

    http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/03/29/new-release-20110322-genre-recategorisation-track-number-format/

    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.

  20. 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.
