Script access to tags?

[mhite]

Ok, big dumb question warning. Be prepared.

--> Can a MediaMonkey script get access to an ID3 tag that isn't normally in the UI? I would like to get a script that copies TIT1 or TKEY ID3 tags into one of the MediaMonkey custom fields. Possible? Impossible? My scenario is that I have an application -- Rapid Evolution -- that writes song key (ie. C# Major, G Minor, etc.) information to both the TIT1 and TKEY tags, none of which I can see inside MediaMonkey. I can set up a custom tag called 'key' inside of MM, and it would be great if I could have a script that copies TIT1 and/or TKEY over to the custom tag.

Possible/ not possible?

This is not possible, you can only connect to the DB.

Of course you could write a plugin that could this, but that would be more advanced than writing a script.

PS. Support for more ID3 fields has been requested, I don't know if MediaMonkey 3.0 will support any new fields. I do believe that MediaMonkey 3.0 will support ID3v2.4.

Yes, it is possible - the script that Bex has linked to is an example. However, this has not been fully developed, so I'm not sure how reliable this method is.

imo MediaMonkey should expose core tag-editing functionality (but saying this is much easier than actually implementing it!). MM itself uses a id3-library (id3lib.dll) that does this.

Very badly needed, yes...

I'd just like to bump this rather old post - any chance we're likely to see this happen developers?
