Using tag info

(1/3) > >>

rafverhoogen:
I keep a lot of info about music, and before i started to use mc i kept this info in collectorz,where i could report (print/pdf/html) on it as i wanted.
When i started to use mc i fhought i could store all this info in the library which is true, the tagging possibilities are great, however visualising this information is not ok!  I had found in the windows version that you could create great views on other than the traditional info in a great way.
The exports of playlists to html (which would also be a great way) is realy ugly, and i have no idea how i could create my own view in web gizmo (which is not working in the last 3 versions by the way)

I found this very dissapointing. 

Is there anyone who has the same kind of concerns and maybe even found a solution ?

rafverhoogen:
I was wondering, if it would be possible to adapt the html of web gizmo in order to display all the needed tags, this would already be a huge improvement.

Also i found an html playingnow.html but i have  no idea where web gizmo calls this file.  It uses as a default play_html5.html

all idea's are welcome !!!!!

MrC:
How about exporting the metadata into a CSV file and use a spreadsheet program to consume/print?

rafverhoogen:
The csv gets confused with the separators, namely in the lyrics there are sometimes separators and then it starts to split at the most weird places.
It would be a great addition if in the export MC would allow to define separators and quotes for text.

I also tried using the xml export and using a XSL sheet to convert this to html but in the xml i get errors as well during parsing.  Also i store my artwork in the FLAC/M4A's and these are not exported during the xml export.

MrC:
What program are you using to open the CSV file?  I've been able to use Google Docs, Excel, and Libre Office's Calc.

The following change logs items indicate that MC19 Windows code has RFC 4180 clipboard compliance.  I don't know if the MC19 changes are on the Mac side though (and these are for the copying rows to the clipboard):


--- Quote ---19.0.37 (9/5/2013)

2. Changed: The CSV text copied to the clipboard when copying from a list uses tab instead of comma as the delimiter.

19.0.36 (9/4/2013)

2. Changed: Copying list items to the clipboard generated RFC 4180 compliant CSV data (previously some special characters, newlines, etc. were not formatted for RFC 4180 compliance).
3. Changed: Copying list items to the clipboard puts CSV into the text area of the clipboard (instead of having different text and CSV formats).
--- End quote ---


--- Quote ---17.0.95 (2/24/2012)

8. Changed: The text output in the Export Playlist tool creates standard CSV output (RFC 4180 compliant).
--- End quote ---
