[REQ] Enhance CSV options as workaround so some lost MM4 reports

Post by Barry4679 »

MM5 suffers in comparison to MM4 with regard to Reporting due to the current unavailability of add-ons.
A workaround is to export data to a CSV file, and then to generate reports using a tool like Excel.

There is a severe limitation to what can be achieved due to the paucity of data that is included in the CSV export file.
  • no AlbumArtist tag, so the user is unable to properly produce a summary at the album level ... ie. without the albumartist tag, a single multi-artist composite album appears to be many albums, one for each artist
  • no Composer tag ... so impossible to produce a Composer related report ... same thing with the Conductor tag
  • no Custom tags
Can these columns be added to the CSV file, so that migrated Customers can regain some of the reporting that they lost when migrating to MM5?

[UPDATE] see here for an illustration and more more discussion
