Add Album Art Exchange search
bliss should find art at http://www.albumartexchange.com/
There's lots of very high quality art there.
50 votesIt’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.

A Windows Home Server add-in version of bliss
bliss should be implemented as a Windows Home Server add-in. This way it can be pointed to the music files on the Windows Home Server, and the Web based UI can be access to manage music on the server.
For some, Windows service support might be enough. Please see http://bliss.uservoice.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1936175-install-bliss-as-a-windows-service
14 votesAfter 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…

include mapped drives or network shares
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.
4 votesThanks 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.

Make Inbox faster
My inbox is really slow to open, if it opens up at all. I suspect that this is because there are lots of entries. I've got 422 albums in my collection. Bliss is running on my Synology DS213+ NAS. Would it be a good idea to be able to mark some Inbox items as ignored, and have them then not show up be default. Because some suggestions (mostly for Title Case renaming) are just wrong. I'll make another suggestion for that.
The same applies to Activity. Although that is quick to open, I don't need to see the past 600+…3 votesThe old Inbox has now been replaced by the new one – I’m considering this declined as I won’t work on the old one anymore.
The new Inbox should hopefully load faster, lazily loading images.

your software is shit
it successfully 'tagged' untagged files as 'track 1' 'track 2' 'track 3' etc. well done on that.
3 votesThe data comes from MusicBrainz, so I guess that’s where the track names are coming from. If you want to take this further, please email me (bliss@blisshq.com) the name of the album/recording and also the debug archive as described under the ‘Help’ link at the bottom right of the page.

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.

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?
3 votesI’m considering this already fixed.
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.

You get the program working better with vortexbox
Hugely frustrating and tedious error 'failed to find server' regularly occurs. It's a known problem. Please sort it! Cheers.
3 votesUntil 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.

Provide an auto update mechanism for software releases
It's sometimes hard to keep up with the short releases cycle of bliss. I'd like to have a "Check for updates" entry in bliss menu.
Clicking it would make bliss download the update, install and restart.3 votes@kraymer could you add your vote and comment to http://bliss.uservoice.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1772967-update-alert-and-update-within-app?ref=title ? Can’t merge ideas yet, sorry.

Persistent inbox button sizing after fix completion
Many times now I have pressed the wrong button, applying a fix I don't want because a fix button has resized after completing its action, causing the options below it to move upwards. This is a little frustrating, so an idea I had to correct it was to have the fix's description separate but adjacent to the button itself, which could just be labelled "OK" or something along those lines. In theory, the button could then still change to complete once the fix had been applied but it would not change the number of lines required by the button, thus…

How useless?
I downloaded Blis to try and find album art that goes missing. As it happens, it found no album art for any track or album, including all the albums that already have album art. I guess it is free, but what a bizarre waste of time! Adds zero value.
2 votesCan’t keep this open because there’s no measurable or voteable solution, but please also see my comment.

Add support for GraceNote to improve quality of music tags, similar to Wondershare Tidy My Music for Mac. .
Right now, GraceNote supports Cloud Music services and very little computer software. By combining GraceNote with Musicbrainz, the quality of your tags will improve significantly.
2 votesSorry, but because of the cost of Gracenote access this is infeasible (please see the comments for more).

Unfortunately without the album names it will be hard to find the cause. Let me know if you see this again and I’ll re-open.

not much GUI for what to do next.
I selected Music folder and scan it. it shows only blank CD as Album covers. that's all ? what is next action. no guidance in menu.
also works for Flac or Ape or WMA or Ogg file ? it was Flac file.2 votesHave to decline this because fixing this is not particularly measurable, but thanks for the feedback (also see comment for more help).

Track/Album names with a comma
These seem to be causing issues as the comma is not recognised in the files name checks..is there a fix?
2 votesSorry for taking a while to get back to you on this. I looked into it and it appears to work for me. If you want to get this fixed, please create a debug archive ( http://www.blisshq.com/support/faq/general/how-create-debug-archive.html ) and send to me with the album that is causing the problem.

make ui suck less
currently sucks a lot. so many clicks just to reach a screen where you can set album details. have to click why next to every album. have to click edit on every album screen. what else am i doing there? have to type in years manually. have to click open the tag selection every time. cant see tracks on album screen. come on.
2 votesHi, I’m going to have to decline this because I strive for all ideas to be SMART – specific, measurable etc. See my comment for more detail addressing your points.

Use Fileorganisation token "?" as an "if EMPTY" Statement
Is it possible to Uses the subsequent token if the preceeding token evaluates to EMPTY instead of a string? This way it would be possible to define a fallback for eg the tracknumber if not present in the tags.
2 votesAs far as I understand your request, this is already implemented. See http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2013/07/30/more-uses-conditional-file-org/index.html

Win 7
I'm finding it difficult to use BlissHQ in Win 7 Reason: Win 7 permission ownership and attribute issues
2 votesHad to close this as not quite enough detail, but you do have a generally good point; I think permissions error messages etc are sometimes hidden away.
