[REQ] Multi-level collection tree

by allwi » Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:06 pm

For MM4, there was this great and powerful addon 'Magic Nodes'.

It allowed to create structured lists, e.g. something like

Code: Select all

+ Album Artists
  +- [ABC]
    +- Abba
    +- Air
    +- ...
  +- [DEF]
    +- Dark Star
    +- Dave Brubeck
    +- ...
This will help to navigate through a lengthy list of album artists, artists or even worse for albums.
This structuring is already part of Years which shows 1940s/1950s etc.

If would be good to include an optional level based on the grouping of the first letter (eg. ABC for all entries starting with A, B or C) to (album) artists and albums.

title: 'Tracks with Artist same as Title',
sql: 'Songs.artist = Songs.SongTitle'
}, {
title: 'Tracks with Album Artist same as Title',
sql: 'Songs.albumArtist = Songs.SongTitle'
}, {
title: 'Tracks with BPM of 1 or Less',
sql: 'Songs.BPM <= 1'
}, {
title: 'Tracks with BitRate of 128k or less',
sql: 'Songs.Bitrate <= 128000'
}, {
title: 'Tracks with No Lyrics',
sql: 'Songs.Lyrics = ""'

3 more Custom Node / Track queries.

Ludek, is it better to use Custom Nodes or Collections? I am guessing Custom Nodes has the edge for simple queries whereas Collections might be preferred for more complex criteria.

A tried a quick couple of "Tracks" examples as your suggested to hunt down potentially mis-placed titles / artist:

title: 'Tracks with Artist same as Title',
sql: 'Songs.artist = Songs.SongTitle'
}, {
title: 'Tracks with Album Artist same as Title',
sql: 'Songs.albumArtist = Songs.SongTitle'
}, {

Quite surprised myself in that it worked! It is also useful that this also allows the "results" to be saved - as a playlist for example.

Screens hot to follow...
Great! So hopefully it is going to evolve to an usable addon for everyone (going to be added to our Addons repository etc.)

Thanks!

When I say extensively...that's a bit of a misnomer. I only use it for two things, but they are critical to me.

Does MM5 offer the following:
- ability to find all files where cover storage is tagged or an image file?
- find all files where the artist doesn't match the album artist?
Hi,
I created this customNodes sample script that will show the nodes you are looking for:

'Tracks with Artist different from Album Artist' :

'Tracks with artworks stored in tag', 'Tracks with artworks stored in files' :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4661mbcplzcvj ... 8.png?dl=0

Download the script from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pp79gh9m3wdqo ... .mmip?dl=0
and feel free to enhance the custom node definitions further (see customNodesDefinitions.js ) :

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=99158&p=482045&hilit=Field#p482045 ... Maybe we should push that a little bit? 😉

No, the developer has not ported it to MediaMonkey 5. MediaMonkey 4 Addons are incompatible with MediaMonkey 5.

Hi,
I use Magic Nodes extensively to help me keep my metadata correct. Does anyone know if Magic Nodes 4.3.3 can be loaded into MM5. It's the only thing stopping me from upgrading.
