Can you pass tags to the external decoder ?
« on: April 15, 2008, 11:00:45 am »

I am currently running MC11 and you can only pass %IN %OUT info from MC to the external decoder. Does MC12 support passing tag info e.g. %artist %album etc?

I want my external decoder to be a script that resizes my album art and embeds that and other tag info into the MP3 using lame.

I did think about searching the flac file that corresponds to %IN and extract the tags myself. Unfortunately that will only work if %IN is unique. It will not be if your collection contains more than one track with the same title.

I would like to see:

1)   Pass common tag info like %artist %album etc
2)   Pass %SRC which is the path to the original source file so that I can extract the tags myself

(2) is a no-brainer to implement. It should not take more than 15 minutes to code.
