Auto Organize - use path as album title

Hello Was wondering if there was a way to use auto-organize to replace the <album> with part of the path - like a particular folder? I have a collection which is manually organized by decade, then album name, finally, CD number (#1, 2, 3, etc). Something like: D:\Compilations\2000s\The Box Set with ...

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Than you Ian, once again for your help. I will look at Access (I think I have it) and set up the tables. I would still like to flesh this out as a feature request. Please provide me the mechanism to do so, so that I could get the visibility I would think it would need. I would think that if you had ...

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Hi Ian,

I think i understand, however, how would you set up the second table?

Also, how would I suggest this as a feature request?

Thanks!

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

And... just thought of this - I would rather not do it outside of MM. I'd rather do some kind of compare based on a list, within MM itself, as an additional advanced search.

And then turn it into a have it/want it checklist.

I know this is the wrong forum, but that would be a great feature.

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

OK, we're getting somewhere! To be clear, I'm not an SQL guy, which this appears to be. Are there any APIs which would allow me to use powershell (and some examples... heh heh heh) to use an Import-CSV and query off that? If not, can you show me how to actually do this? It would save a ton of search...

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Hello Ian, Unfortuately, I do not think you are understanding my request. I have a collection of 250K songs in MediaMonkey. If I want to find a song, I go into the search field and type the title, artist or whatever criteria I am looking for. MM displays what I have. This is a completely MANUAL proc...

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Hi Ian, I thought I had sent this previously, so I'll respond again- While you make good points about deciding to buy a song based on multiple criteria, the first criteria, for me at least, is do I already have the song. Right now, I'm getting my feet wet on 40s and 50s jump blues, pre-rock and buyi...

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Peke,

The idea is to query my collection/database PRIOR to making a purchase.

Re: Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Let me try to explain better. I have all my music, over 250,000 songs in MediaMonkey. When I go to purchase a new CD, let's say at Amazon, I could copy the names of the songs/artists into a CSV file and use that data to see if I already have these songs without searching for them one-by-one. I thoug...

Search from lists - Powershell, etc?

Hi! Is there a way for MediaMonkey to take a csv file of title, artist and do a full search to see if I have these songs before I go out and by another compilation with mostly the same stuff? If so, could this be used to generate playlists or create new albums with the specific songs pulled from the...

Adding Disc # to Album Name

Hi, I like keeping multidisc numbers in the Album Field, so I can keep all of the discs in separate folders. I had been doing this manually. If the set was 4 discs, I would highlight all titles on disc 1, go to properties and change the album to "Woodstock [Disc 1], Woodstock [Disc 2], etc..&qu...

Re: Folder List errors

5.0.4.2690 OK, so some more troubleshooting on my side: Manage database > Clear Database Rescan All folders came up correctly. N:\folder\folder\song.mp3, etc. Another folder: F:\folder\folder\song.mp3... perfect. Closed MM5. Opened MM5. All folders changed . [Music]\folder\folder\song.mp3 Properties...

Re: Folder List errors

I'm back to where I started from. I removed the files from the database and then did a rescan. The issue is still there. Some kind of truncating where my drive letter+colon+backslash is replaced by the name of the disk.

Where is this being picked up from?

Re: Folder List errors

Correction! It's under Music > Location. Sorry about that! And.... I made a further mistake. A second look shows that it is NOT related to Search. Looking at the properties of a song, I can see that the path is wrong. The drive is concatenated with the path, and there's no colon and backslash. So N:...
