Custom tag question (Solved)
« on: January 15, 2007, 12:28:25 pm »

Hello

Let's say I would like to be able tag my music with the following:

  • Party
  • Romantic
  • Fast
  • Slow
  • Depressive

Is it possible to use ONE custom tag that enables you to enter 1 or more of this?
For 1 song I might tag it as "Party" and "Fast". Another one "Party" and "Slow". A third one "Depressive" etc. etc.

I have tested some custom tags, and the only result is the option to make ONE string with all of them like: "Party, Fast" and the other option is to get all of them in a drop down list, but you are only able to choose ONE of the listed items.

Eventually I don't need the list at all, as I'll try to make a plugin for this. But I need to know if there is possible to store it the way I want at all.

You need to use the List datatype but you will only be able to type in your multiple selection like "Party;Fast".  FWIW, MC 12 takes it to the next level where a list datatype allows you to simply use checkboxes to select the items like Party and Fast.

Aaaah. Starting to belive I'm going blind!
Thank's for the response to such a dumb question. Actually think I've used the list before  ::) Memory as a one celled organism.
I've tested it in MC12 too. Exactly as I hoped it would work! Nice nice...
I'll get on with my plugin project then!
