Title: [REQ] Sidecar files for SACD and CUE files
Post by: kstuart on September 23, 2015, 11:54:52 am

This post reminded me that this is probably the most needed minor addition to MC20:

I'd pay even 50$ if you promised to implement sidecar for SACD ISOs and DFF files.  :)

Thanks a lot for continued improvement of this software.

The concept here is sidecar files for any audio files that do not have internal support for file properties ("tags").

For example, if all my MC20 libraries (and their backups) were wiped out, or if a change was made that required starting from scratch, then it would take hours for me to re-enter all the correct file property information for my SACD and CUE files.

But if that information is in sidecar files, then I would be able to re-import whenever necessary.

Thanks for considering this request.

Sounds reasonable to me. You might even use it to store file tags in any audio files that MC isn't allowed to modify, for example because of settings in the options, or because the file itself is read-only.
Of course, that's no fix for when the entire directory is read-only, though...

i'd actually like this for all file types (when file tagging not available).  it would really push MC over the edge for full-file organizing (i use MC for documents etc. as well)
