Automatically edit tags of new songs added to library

Post by oddity »

Hi geniuses,
I am wondering if it is possible to get mediamonkey to automatically make simple edits to the tags of new items that are added to the library.

For example I want to setup a rule where any new items that have a filename which contains "\rock\" has the genre tag set to rock.

Are there any extensions that can do this?

it could probably be done via scripting, however I don't know of any script that has that type of feature.

its a good idea and been brought up before, I just don't think anyone has taken it on for themselves and/or released it for public use.

If it's editing based on folder/filenames you could use the Infer Track Properties option in MediaMonkey.

As a workaround you can turn on the feature to create playlists of songs added to your library so you can quickly go to those to make the edits.
