An unexpected conversion

ErikN:
In regard to unexpected uses, I have been digitizing all of my records into OCR'd pdfs. I was considering trying out MC for more flexible organizing. However, to be truly powerful for documents I'd want auto-tagging based on the content of the pdf.

Just one missing thing so far: it would be nice to have a resizable theater mode (simple) window for use in the corner of the office PC monitor while doing other tasks. Maybe it's there and I haven't found it yet?

I do the same thing all the time. You can go to 'Display' view in MC. Initially it's full-screen but you can resize it.

If you don't want the big controls, hit 'ctrl 6' and you will end up in 'Standard' view with a small detached display that can be resized (and no controls).

hey and welcome Eric

lots of flac downloads come with pdf too and I like to access them when I'm listening to the album -- two things you might not have come across

using the fill properties from file name tool (F12) you can semi-automatically tag album artist album etc very easily (especially if you have a standard filepath set-up AlbumArtist/Album ... other wise from the file name itself -- hit F12 and play around creating a mask (automatic won't work well with data) and see what the suggestions are. In the tag windows choose to show fields that aren't showing, probably albumartist and album?, after selecting the pdfs. Hit F12 and enter and they all fill in. OK its not automatic, but euh its fast and once set up easy to do.

With JRemote (Ios at least, I think android too) ... you can browse the pdfs on your tablet or phone directly from the playing now (under assets  -- from there you can browse the pdf and any other file like a backcover, pdf booklet even a libretto for an opera - the latter not the greatest on a phone but pretty cool on an ipad ;)).

To incorporate views using multiple media types like pdfs and jpg and audio files at once .. that too can be done ... but baby steps right :)

(Data has to be on in options and autoimport first, but seems like you found that already)

ps - of course I wouldn't want to have jriver handle ALL non-media stuff if that s what you are on about, thats something else again
