Comment to Custom Field script
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 5:38 am
Preamble:
I'm a MM 2.5 Gold user and the situation I have is as follows.
Changed from iTunes to MediaMonkey a few days ago.
Have so far successfully corrected/modified MM in the ways that suit my needs. Thanks to the developers and script-writers for their help.
Problem:
I had a Rock Top 500 playlist in iTunes, the order was defined by the value, e.g. 210, in the Comment field. Many of the same tracks already have a value in Track number for other purposes so I definitely want to use Comment. In iTunes playlists and the library can be sorted by Comment.
Processes: I have read many posts and done many searches. I understand that MM cannot currently sort by Comment due to it potentially being multi-lined. I am yet to find a Script which adds the ability to sort library or a playlist by Comment.
Solution?: I am thus looking for a Script which allows sort by Comment
OR an idea I saw in another thread - transferring contents of Comment field to Custom 1.
I have not seen a script which does either, and yes it would be too tedious to manually transfer one number from one field to another 500 times.
P.S. Also, I have been unable to set up a new Autoplaylist which will grab the selected tracks and rank them appropriately. I would be happy to do that as well, if possible.
Thanks
