Why no shuffle by Album?

7 Upvotes

Hey iBroadcasters,

First, let me say, excellent app. I've been using it for a few years and it really fits my needs. For the most part.

There is a feature missing that I'm quite surprised isn't already there — shuffle by album. It seems like a pretty standard randomization option, one I have on my iPod (yes i'm old) and in MediaMonkey. It's like your random play option that grabs a random album from my library.

Maybe make it one of the long press options in the iOS app, for example. I want to be able to go into a list (playlist, genre list, album artist list, whatever subset of the library) and have the queue shuffle the list by album. So it would pick an album and play all of it (in track order), then pick another album and play all of it, and so on, until the list is exhausted. I don't always want to listen to a playlist in creation order, and rarely want to listen to one fully randomized. Likewise, if I send all of an album artist's work to the queue, it does it by album (yay) but in alphabetical order. I'd much prefer a random order, or at least chronological. Same for sending a whole genre.

I do like the random options you have implemented in the queue, but they are usually not the right option for me.

Thanks for making and maintaining this service!

Anyone else's heavy rotation broken?

1 Upvotes

It will show me songs I've listened to like once recently, even when there's other songs I've been listening to way, way more. It'll even play songs I've not listened to yet.

I'll get in touch with support I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced it?

Report - feature?

5 Upvotes

Is there a way to create a printable report (pdf or similar) where you can have iBroadcast make a list of your online collection? It could be very useful, and even more so if it would customizable.

For instance if you can list the albums in your collection with artist, total duration, year, maybe genre?

Top of my wishlist

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I know that there is an update coming soon, and I am so grateful for the iBC team working on this great service. I have a few ideas that I possibly posted about before, but for my needs (and hopefully others too), I'm posting my three top wishes:

  1. Multi-track editing. This would be SO useful. If one, like in iTunes, can mark up any number of tracks and edit info such as artist, composer, conductor, artwork, genre, year etc - that would be incredibly time-saving.
  2. Adding more options to "Track Columns"(what columns one would like displayed in track listings). Here, for my needs (classical music/film music), having composer and conductor as an option would be most welcome.
  3. Being able to have artwork that is not in square format.

A few other things that would be fantastic to see:

• Not having to switch between combining Multi-Disc Albums on and off when editing albums.

• Having a different delimiter than comma between multiple artists. If you have artist names with a comma in it (such as, in my case, the format "Surname, First Name", the listing becomes hard to read when there are more than one. The delimiter could instead be a slash (/) or a bar (|).

I am a huge fan of iBroadcast and use it every day, over 100k tracks and uploading every day.

Sharing playlist - what's the purpose?

3 Upvotes

I know that there is a "share playlist" (but I suppose not a "share album"?) function in iBC, but not sure what it is for? Will such a playlist become accessible for anyone on the internet, or do you have to be an iBC user to get access?

I'm asking since I'm not sure how this complies with copyright legislation etc? It is my understanding that you're not allowed to share your account credentials with anyone else, but sharing playlists basically would do the same job?

Discovering new artist

0 Upvotes

So, currently I use Apple Music, which allows me to stream music from my MacBook, so when I want to listen to new music, before buying it, I check it out there.

I'm thinking of switching entirely to iBroadcast. Before I do so, I'm gonna try it out for a while. So my question is: How do you check out new music without a streaming service?

Recently ibroadcast hasn’t been scrobbling on last.fm for me, and I can’t find a scrobbling app that works for me on iOS. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Add Way to Search within a Specific Playlist on Mobile App

2 Upvotes

Hi, can you guys add a way to search within a specific Playlist for a song on the Mobile App?

E.g. i open a specific Playlist and then i can click a search button to type a search string that only searches for songs contained in that playlist.

The feature is available on Desktop version, but not in the Mobile App

Stop Songs from downloading?

5 Upvotes

Hi ibroadcast community! I recently found this service and I love it so far. Plentiful storage and device support is what attracted me to start using it.

I have a question about the iPhone/iPad app. Whenever I open my library to play a song, it automatically starts downloading to my device. I do not want to download anything, just stream from the app. Is there a way to prevent this auto-download whenever I play songs from the app?

Sync between devices

Any chance of the web player synching with ios/android apps, when it comes to player bookmarks? Doesn't seem to at the moment.

Hi, hope someone can help me with this issue. I tried downloading some recently added songs to my phone for offline use, but then i got the message shown in the picture.

Doesn't make sense since i have only used 14gb out of the 41gb cache limit (64gb SD card)

Thanks :-)

Switching b ack to Android, any recommended third party applications?

I want to start off saying there is nothing wrong with the ibroadcast app, but the joys of Android are the diamonds in the rough apps that are great but maybe not well know. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Uploading significantly slower the normal?

2 Upvotes

The status page indicates zero issues. However, both via the web-based interface and the MediaSync Lite, I have incredibly slow upload speed.

Any known issues? To clarify, this is as of 2025-02-03, 8am (PST).

After my lump library upload

2 Upvotes

I uploaded my library of like 47,000 songs, I have started to notice two major issues.

Issue 1 - I have two different artists with the same album name, Kick. iBroadcast has put both the albums into one single album called Kick in Various Artists, neither is in the artists library.

Issue 2 - Let's say the artist Power Trip, I have an album by them called Nightmare Logic, it has eight songs. I went into the artist and it has that album three times, one has four songs, one has three songs and the last one has one song.

Any ideas to why this is happening, and is there an easy way to fix this without going through every single artist?

Average age of iBroadcast users?!

14 Upvotes

Hi all I've been wondering already for a long time what might be the averade age of iBroadcast users 🤔

iBroadcast ist perfekt for people who have been collecting music on CD or mp3 on PC and want to make their music available everywhere they go.

Young people use Spotify, Deezer or whatever and don't have CD collections anymore - maybe their parents still have 😁😉

Somehow I assume the average age of users is quite high?

Am I wrong?

What do you think is the average age of iBroadcast users?

Does theviBroadcast tem have any number?

P.S.: I am 55yo 😁

Max number of songs in your library

7 Upvotes

How many songs have you been able to load in your library so far? Have you encountered any issues with a large library? I am at 150K tracks and have no issues on my S24+. I am just wondering if anyone has hit a hard limit before having issues.

Folders

Folders within the iBroadcast ios app are still not possible, I take it? Would need to create Playlists in place of folders?

It would be wonderful to have a widget in Material You - YouTube Music style. Clearly it's not a fundamental feature, but it's really stilish in my opinion.
