Hi there,
I'm old to MM but new to scripting. I'm learning JS right now but that's not super helpful for VBscript. I'd like to write a simple auto script that adds a datestamp to the "Custom 1" property of an mp3 every time that file's rating is updated.
I basically live and die by my MM ratings, and would love it if I could create an auto playlist with songs rated 3+ stars in the last year (or month or week, etc). New stuff I really liked but isn't necessarily related to when I added the track to the DB, because I have 30k songs and will hear songs I've never heard all the time despite the possibility that I've owned them for years and years.
Any advice on where to start? I've read some of the documentation from MM on scripting. I see that there's SDBTrackProperties which sounds promising although the docs warn against overuse. I could see why as the playcounter property gets updated every time a track is listened to. Then updating the SDBSongData to add a datestamp to the custom 1 tag?
Thanks in advance!
