An error occurred while saving the comment @William Yes, there's also https://hub.docker.com/r/romancin/bliss
An error occurred while saving the comment Grant, did you make this change to https://github.com/gshipley/bliss/blob/master/Dockerfile ?
An error occurred while saving the comment No, it's stored in ~/.java .
An error occurred while saving the comment I'll try and get Grant to comment, but licence information is held encrypted on the home folder for the user running bliss. If this could be mapped to the Docker host this could work across restarts.

An error occurred while saving the comment The same thing happens for me, but if you refresh the page you should see the count has increased.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, currently all file movements are relative to the root music folder path. But what you're suggesting is valid (of course, in the case where music files are in different folders, this won't help bring them back together).
I clarified the title to describe the feature more generally.

An error occurred while saving the comment Note that this is now possible (although not very user friendly - you have to edit configuration files): https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2022/03/21/organising-compilations-with-rulesets/
An error occurred while saving the comment I merged the following idea from Bo Herrmannsen into this one:
---
again not sure if it has been suggested but could be nice to have rules depending on what type of album i have....
All my artist albums have the artist in album artist while my complications have the album artist field empty
now for complications i want my folder structure: Album name/tracknumber. trackartist - tracktitle
while an bryan adams album should be: Bryan Adams - XXXX /tracknumber. track title
in itunes everything is set to complication so that it sorts the stuff right
---An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for that. I actually split the auto tagging out into a separate idea: http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2290707-auto-tag-compilations . I hope this is ok.

An error occurred while saving the comment Note that this is now possible, although not user friendly as it hasn't been added to the UI: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2022/03/21/organising-compilations-with-rulesets/
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, thanks for that.
I'm actually thinking your case could work with http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/788647-the-ability-to-monitor-more-than-one-location-on-a and the ability to define different rule sets for different directories.
An error occurred while saving the comment Sure, I'll add that to the list.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah - we could also add support for a separate pattern for compilations which seems to be common for a lot of people.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Yves That's an interesting development of "duplicates" because it implies some level of duplication is permitted.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah - that's one way. In extreme cases (I always think in extreme cases ;-) ) there are also artists who, canonically, capitalise their names in weird ways that a regex cannot predict. Therefor some form on online lookup would be required.
It's always a balance between canonically-correct and what-the-listener-wants...
An error occurred while saving the comment Nice - this needs to work alongside the capitalisation rules in some way.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Thomas I'm sorry about that, but we're pretty resource constrained... obviously the more votes this gets, the more likely it is we'll polish this feature off.
An error occurred while saving the comment @Jim no real progress, but an obvious place to put this now is under "album integrity" with the duplicates rule.
An error occurred while saving the comment Consistency and completeness! https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2011/09/18/bliss-three-cs/
An error occurred while saving the comment Really like this idea, part of the three Cs - "completeness".

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, I've noticed this with a number of classical artists in particular.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Bob Yes, it currently will.
An error occurred while saving the comment @kmb I think that's a slightly separate topic... although very related. This idea is specifically about setting to multiple genres.
What you are saying sounds more general; allowing multiple genres, splitting by a delimiter and allowing subsequent assessment. But in terms of a specific thing to add to bliss, it depends what you mean by "clean"... If you can define that I would advise adding a new idea.
But both would be great.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, both those items could be configurable I think... with good defaults where possible.
For the separator, if bliss sees an obvious one being used then that could be assumed as the correct separator, otherwise use the most widely used default (I think this is ";").
The append/overwrite is a little like the singular embedded album art rule. It could be a separate rule to enforce single or multiple genres. Some music players don't support this approach, after all.
An error occurred while saving the comment Great, thanks I've just made the title a bit more specific.
An error occurred while saving the comment Do you mean support for multiple genre tags? What exactly do you want to see... the ability to add multiple genres in the album detail page, or the missing information / genre consolidation rules to tag multiple genres?

An error occurred while saving the comment Ok, thanks for the explanation.
This sounds like a mixture of different things.
If we had rulesets (https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2017/08/01/ruleset-selecta/) - these are implemented for ignoring rules but the capability hasn't been made more general yet - you could have a rule for Christmas music (e.g. GENRE="Christmas") which had a different file path rule: "OFFLINE MUSIC/.../..."
In addition we would need a way of poking iTunes: https://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/1449569-auto-update-itunes-when-bliss-has-changed-an-album
An error occurred while saving the comment This is going to partly depend what you mean by "in and out of my library".
Does this mean it just doesn't appear in iTunes?
Or does it mean the files get relocated to a different folder?
So it depends on what music software (and hardware) you use.

An error occurred while saving the comment I have spoken to the developer of Daphile before, but it's really down to him opening up the platform...
In theory it should work without a huge amount of work.

An error occurred while saving the comment > tag every album that has the compilation tag with the same Various Artists title in the Album Artist tag.
This has been completed as part of: https://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/2739754-automatically-complete-album-artist
As implied by my comment:
> Inferring a COMPILATION tag if the artists are different
We could use the new local album tag sourcing as a way of doing the first part.
An error occurred while saving the comment I just added correctness checking for compilation. This works in a different way to other correctness checking, in that if the setting is absent, we always look at linked releases anyway. If the linked releases say that this is definitely a compilation, a fix is suggested to change it so.
This is a different solution to that laid out above, which is more of a "derived tag" solution, so I'll keep this open as it might have been that which people have voted for.

An error occurred while saving the comment Just a personal note that won't mean much to anyone else - this becomes a lot easier with recent work to deduce ALBUM ARTIST from existing tags. See LocalAlbumTagSourceHeuristics...
An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry - what do you mean by "Bliss uses tags that I can't see in other tag editors"?
An error occurred while saving the comment Something that just came to mind is that, once parsed, the information from file paths could be used to perform lookups for more data for that album. Just wanted to record that thought!
An error occurred while saving the comment I'm beginning to think this would be best implemented on the Untagged page, so that albums go through a staging process of only being allowed onto the "Albums" page once they are tagged.
The disadvantage of this is that it forces you to have tags, but is that really a problem?
An error occurred while saving the comment I just realised that in a more general sense this could be used in bliss to merely identify music to the various rules, e.g. the cover art rule could use it for album and artist name information, and the art could be saved to file or embedded.
Many other rules though would make no sense to use this with, e.g. file organisation. Therefore the applicability is limited.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for this. Overall, I'd prefer to go with the acoustic fingerprinting approach to tagging untagged files first. See http://ideas.blisshq.com/forums/21939-bliss/suggestions/701338-automatic-song-identification-and-tagging-of-untag
If that doesn't cover everything, this approach to tagging is till valid.

An error occurred while saving the comment You could set up a reverse proxy on the Synology to provide authentication, e.g. https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2017/03/07/setting-up-bliss-authentication/
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks - so does this happen to all HTTP traffic to the NAS's IP?
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi - can you explain what you mean by "synology servers, configured with HTTPS access" - are you referring to a setting in DSM?

An error occurred while saving the comment That's odd - if anything I tend to get comments that we over group!
Can you click "Help" then "Download debug archive" and send it to us at support@blisshq.com with some example album names?
The only thing I'd add is that because bliss is written for a different purpose than Plex et al (it's an organiser rather than a player) sometimes the way we present your library has to be a bit different. It might not be the case here, but in some cases Plex might go to lengths to group an album to make it easier to play, but bliss might want to show the album is split, to make it more obvious to re-organise. Hope that makes sense.

An error occurred while saving the comment Nice - there are probably some browser plugins that will do this for you. E.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/site-color-changer/ (for Firefox) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/change-colors/ageghplgcapnfpdhapeemolbmfccclke?hl=en (for Chrome).
An error occurred while saving the comment I guess an ability to "skin" the interface could be something... if you know CSS you can probably do something yourself with a browser plugin to override the CSS.

An error occurred while saving the comment Nice idea. Some people have large folders of assorted files and may only want to tag a subset of them.

An error occurred while saving the comment The untagged page *will* use external data. It uses fingerprinting to identify the music, and provide metadata. Assuming the fingerprints are found in the database of course!
But the other issue - where existing tags aren't shown - is an issue. Co-incidentally I added this to the bug tracker the other day. I've linked this page with it so I can update this when we fix it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes - I think currently a custom tag might be shown, but all custom tags may be combined into one cell. E.g. a TXXX field.
Sounds like a good idea!
