1. Don't rescan album immediately after something is fixed

   Is there a way to start/stop the library scanning manually ?

   It could be useful for me :
   I have about 600 music albums to organize, and when it comes to correct LOTS of tags I'm facing a really slow process.
   I'm hosting bliss on my Synology NAS, so it's not really powerfull.

   As soon as the tags are fixed for an entire album (I mostly use the "Inbox" page), the system automaticly launch a scan of this album... slowing down the whole system and the tag fix of other albums.

   Maybe you could integrate a button to start scanning AFTER tag/folder/cover fixing ?

2. Have bliss create reports designed to identify changes between releases in 'Compliance is' stats

   bliss could do an album by album 'text' report (spreadsheet style like tags pages) of the library status prior to installing the new version and another dump after installation of the new. bliss could ask the user if they wanted to get a report when they have clicked on 'Update' and again after they have installed the new version.

   [Column] - Album Title [data] Name of album
   [Column] - Compliant [data] ( one of the following )
   - no linked releases ( means the album is Compliant by default (CBD) - this is good info to have )
   - one linked release ( probably the one you want )
   - multiple linked releases ( you may want to examine this more closely )
   [Column] - Non-compliant [data] yes or no
   [Column] - Artwork [data] yes or no

   Then we need a utility to compare the two reports and list all albums which have changed status.

   Unmatched albums in the second report are additions to the library.

   Text in ( ) is just my comments.

   The more I think about this, the more I like it. ;-)

   What provoked the idea was an increase of 11 compliant albums and a decrease of 2 missing art albums between the 20180806 version and the previous one. There is at present no way to identify which albums were involved.

4. Keep composer name in classical album title (as per Apple style guide)

   When I use the "Check tag accuracy" feature for album title in classical music, most of the non-compliant results take the form of wanting to remove the composer name - for example Bliss wants to change "Abel: Music for flute and strings" to simply "Music for flute and strings". However, the iTunes style guide says "The album title should include the composers, followed by a colon, followed by the work titles, catalog numbers, or type of works such as Sonatas or Preludes" (https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/en.lproj/static.html) This makes sense - otherwise albums called "Haydn: String Quartets", "Beethoven: String Quartets", "Debussy: String Quartets" will all become "String Quartets". I wonder what database is insisting on this? It means that most iTunes-compliant classical albums come up as non-compliant in Bliss. Any way to change this? Thanks!

6. Support the .webp image format (converting to .jpg) for cover art.

   Support the .webp image format (converting to .jpg) for cover art. I say this without really understanding how you search for cover art. I have a CD where Bliss did not find any cover art, but I found it on Amazon with the .webp format. I downloaded, converted to .jpg, and added the art manually with Bliss. Would be nice if Bliss could automate this.

8. A live preview of folder/filename formatting

   When in settings, it would be nice to see how the folder/filename formatting would impact upon files/folders.

   Can you implement a before/after comparison preview based on music in within the folders reviewed by bliss?

9. No duplicate if different file type

   I often have .mp3 and .flac files of the same song. These should not be identified as duplicates, albums should be separated by file type.

10. Additional Filenaming Mask - Move The to end

    As you can use album name with blanks, no spaces, underscores etc perhaps there is a place for a file naming scheme that moves THE to the end. This would not impact on The in the TAG, leaving The Beatles alone but doing the file naming as Beatles, The.

    Just thinking this could be used for Album Artist, Track Artist, Album Name, Track Name.

    If you use the Sort Artist, for example, so that you get THE to the end what happens if the Sort field being used is blank. Works fine if the field is populated. Just seems to me that it would be easier if the file naming option was present and save the user work with having to get all the sort names correct.

    Even if you had to do something like suffixThe(<Album Artist>) to call up a function to work on the Tag you have chosen. Though this has potential problems with underscores, no spaces etc. I am imagining that those who would use it are going to be using tags with spaces <Artist Name> so perhaps the option <Artist Name,The>

    Anyway just an idea.

12. A compare between the bliss run on the the primairy file and on the backup (an automated "winmerge")

    I (suppose) we have to run on the primairy dateabas as wel on the back up. Sometimes I forget to add or remove a file on the backup. Once in a while I have tot check with a program like winmerge. A buglist from the comparisation of the two runs would be helpfull.

13. Allow editing of compilation field

    When editing tags for an album, the compilation flag can be set, if the database thinks it is a compilation, but not unset.

    Also it cannot be set if the online database does not think that it is a compilation.

    If I've just missed where it is set, please point out how to edit it.

14. Manual fix for non-compliant cover-art

    I have quite a few files where there is no compliant cover art, e.g. I want a minimum of 500x500 but all there is is just 300x300, and sometimes there is no cover art at all for a release. That applies, e.g. for a lot of the live concert recordings I have, and prevents me from effectively checking for album art compliance with the rest of my collection. I am aware that I could just upload a placeholder cover art, but that is a lot of manual work, and also that does not help with existing cover art that is too small for my taste.

    Bliss should provide a way to mark a release to ignore non compliant cover art. This should be stored with the music, instead of within Bliss itself, and be simple to remove.

    A simple way would be to store a custom tag with the file, e.g. BLISSIGNORECOVERART, which then could be grouped within a dedicated category. Also, there should be a way to remove that marker for a release, and maybe even for all releases.

    I would not mind if bliss also had a button in the cover art selector that would apply a default image with one click.

15. album art too large when viewed on album compliance

    When clicking on album name from the album page the art seems to take up far too much space or is it just me? Appreciate the whole page can be zoomed in & out but need to still read the details & edit them. I think the art could be at least half the size allowing for more details to be shown on the page without using the scroll bars. Perhaps if the art was even shown smaller on the page but then on clicking the art it zoomed in for anyone wanting to see the finer details of it!

16. Overall / queue progression bar

    Hi,

    Great software, a bit slow on my synology NAS but usable, a plus would be to have an overall progression bar : I guess you have some sort of a queue in Bliss, which could be rendered next to the "Scanned X of Y albums" and why not a ETA indicator ?

    Thanks again for your software

17. More memory alloted = MUCH better performance

    The docs say that Bliss shouldn't need more than 256MB. That may be so but I found very substantial performance increases by going to 512MB. I'm a new user but from what I read I believe that my speed at 512MB is probably "normal' - i.e., I was starved at 256MB. This may just be for my own environment.

18. Allow for directory-level album artwork backup

    I'd like to be able to change the name of the existing artwork file as well as create an optimized version. For example, I'd like to have it take the original "cover.jpg", rename it as "cover (original).jpg", and then make the optimized version "cover.jpg". Since I'm also embedding artwork, the current backup option isn't ideal, since I don't need backups of the artwork for every file; I just want to rename the original file as well as give a name to the optimized version in a directory.

20. Add stop service or scan button (synology nas)

    The idea behind this is a simple way to stop the service mid scan to enable any number of things to take place. Currently having to navigate to the package & stop the service. Perform various things then restart the service. Just a nice quicker way to do this
