Awesome, Alex.
Your previous posts were perfect. I can easily create an XML MPL file to do what I want using the File Import Playlist step. Wonderful!
In terms of Excel - like Tag Editing functions, I do this type of stuff al the time.
Here's an example: I just bought a collection of Diana Krall CDs, and import into the library. But I don't like the standard Genre of "Jazz" assigned to them, I'd rather consider her "Nightclub" Genre. I'd like an easy way of selecting a Field (Fields) and specify a criteria (Artist = Diana Krall), and then set all values for another field in one easy step (change Genre to "Nightclub"). In Excel, I'd filter Artist for "Diana Krall", then Paste "Nightclub" into the Genre column. In SQL, I'd use a Select / Update statement. What would be a similar function in MC?
Another example: I just imported an album, and I want to quickly work down the list of tracks and enter a Rating and Intensity value. In Excel, I just type the values in as I move my cursor down the rows. In MC, from a list view, it looks like I have to right click on a row, select Tag Edit, move my cursor to the left side of the screen, scroll through the list of available tags, and then enter the values. Not impossible, but a few too many clicks and movements to be preferable.
Thanks!
