MC 31 Feature Request - Mac/PC
« on: April 22, 2023, 04:19:14 am »

I would like the option/ability to do the following:

To list the album side in either letter or number form as an option in the Track # column:

A1      We Will Rock You
A2      Let Me Entertain You

B1      Now I'm Here
B2      Dreamers Ball

C1      Don't Stop Me Now
C2      Spread Your Wings

D1      Bohemian Rhapsody
D2      Tie Your Mother Down

And so on.
There is this option on foobar and I miss it.
Everything else on MC has been good so far as I am concerned.

A bit of extra custom tags and Expression language you could already do this …

I don't see how, all the areas are greyed out in the management section.

Options -> Library & Folders -> Manage Library Fields -> Add New Field
Create calculated field
Code: [Select]
Char(Math(64 + If(IsEmpty([disc #,0]),1,[disc #])))[Track #]Maps disc # = 1/empty to A, 2 to B etc and adds track # after it. Relies that you have set those two fields "correctly" so one disc # is one side and track count starts from 1 for each disc #

Thank you.
I was looking for a "side" designation. I will try this.

Thanks for the effort lepa, but I could not make that work.
Sure, the side "A1" is displayed, but every other track has the "A" in front of it as well.
Any attempt to change the track name fails. B, C, D... etc come up in the drop down
but when i press enter, it reverts to A6 instead of B1. Tried in tags, Same thing happens.
I set everything up as your post showed.

As said automatic calculation relies on that you have disc # set for every side in your tags. If not then you get only A sides. If you don't have any base data to be used for automatic calculation then you need regular string user data field instead of calculated field and unfortunately enter your track data there manually yourself
