MM and TTS with right language

[Kalle]

Hi James,
I have a question.
In MM, there is possibility to create custom ID3 tag (under Song-> Properties-> classification), this could, for example English, Portuguese or whatever are always well defined.
Can VC retrieve the data on "currentsongdata"? Then it would be very easy to define the correct language output with LCB.

yes.  currently, we have access to "path" in MediaMonkey by using

MM.CurrentSongData  path

which gives us the folder and filename of the currently playing song.  So we could use the same technique as Wanilton has used in XBMC by moving music into different folders, depending on what language they are in, and then looking at the path.

However, I am adding the ability to read the occasion, and custom1 , custom2 , ... , custom5 in the next version (using MM.CurrentSongData) so you could use one of them for language if you like.  

Just remember that some of these tags may be used for other things already.  I'm not an expert in this area...

It is a bit odd, but there does not seem to be a tag specifically for language.  Too bad.

That hears fine, thanks.

here is a list what can contain in ID-Tag

MediaMonkey doesn't necessarily provide access to all of those.

I believe that most of these are available to me.

Ok, I see. Have the test done with a conductor, since I do not need this entry. It works great, I can select in MM many entries together and change.

Hi James,
i have found, that we can edit the name of "custom-name" from custom1, 2... to Language or what else in MediaMonkey.ini (C:\Users\Computername\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini)

cool.  Hopefully we will still be able to access it in VC using custom1 though.  I will send you an update to test later today.

Yeah!!!!

custom ID-Tag works perfect! 

Thanks
