CleanImport v1.1.0 [MM3+4]

:: Script CleanImport v1.1.0

When you import new tracks in your library, it can happen that some tags are added that you don't really want. Examples could be the song's Comments, Rating (your taste can be different than someone else's), fields that you don't care about like ISRC, Publisher, ... (of course this is all personal).
This script will automatically clear the specified fields when the tracks are added to the library.

Installation Package: CleanImport110.mmip


Information:

The script runs each time a new track is added in MediaMonkey.

Depending on your previous choice, you'll have to confirm that you want to clear the specified fields:


The settings can be changed in the configuration panel:

(Author being the composer)

The script will only clear the fields in the MediaMonkey library, so it will not change the files' tags (for this you can use MM's "synchronise tags" function). That means that, if you accidentally cleared some fields while importing, you can just import them again and all is well.


Note: If manually clearing a specific field is what you're looking for, then take a look at the Clear Field script.

Nice, although I wish there was a way for it to save the settings without the confirmation each session, but I can live with that. Good job Steegy.

[Dreadlau]

Nice idea!

Thank you Steegy.

Sheer Perfection, my first official new MM4 script.

[Brouwerik]

Another great script

But this script could go godly if there was an option for fields to set "standard" values like a rating of 2,5.

How can I use this extension with albums that I already have in my library?

[Steegy]

But this script could go godly if there was an option for fields to set "standard" values like a rating of 2,5.

In ...\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\CleanImport.vbs:

Code: Select all

    Fields = Array("Author", "Band", "Conductor", "InvolvedPeople", "Grouping", "Bookmark", "Genre", "Comment", "Lyrics", "Rating", "RatingString", "Tempo", "Quality", "Occasion", "Mood", "Publisher", "ISRC", "Encoder", "Copyright", "Lyricist", "OriginalLyricist")
    EmptyValues = Array("","","","","","0","","","","-1","","","","","","","","","","","")

If you change the -1 value in the script (EmptyValue corresponding with the Field) to e.g. 50, then cleaning the Rating field would actually set it to 2,5 stars instead of none.
(see here for the rating values that can be used)

How can I use this extension with albums that I already have in my library?

As it is now you can't. MediaMonkey and some other scripts are powerful enough to do this, but maybe not as easy as select and click to get the job done.
For this, the script can be modified.
Add the following to ...\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\CleanImport.vbs:

Code: Select all

Sub CleanSelectedTracks
    AllowCleaning = True
    Dim i
    For i = 0 To SDB.CurrentSongList.Count - 1
        CleanImportedTags SDB.CurrentSongList.Item(i)
    Next
End Sub

Add the following to ...\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Scripts.ini:

Code: Select all

[CleanSelectedTracks]
FileName=Auto\CleanImport.vbs
ProcName=CleanSelectedTracks
Order=1
DisplayName=Clean selected tracks
Description=Resets the chosen fields for the selected tracks
Language=VBScript
ScriptType=0

And (re)start MM. The entry "Clean selected tracks" is now added under menu Tools > Scripts.
If you want, you can set a shortcut key through menu Tools > Options... > General > Shortcut keys (or something like that). There add a new shortcut key for action 'General : Execute Script : Clean selected tracks' down at the bottom (you can also specify a shortcut key in Scripts.in, but that's not the correct way to do it anymore in MM3/4).

Cheers,

Hey is there any chance to add all the missing Tags to this wonderful script?!
Like Album, Songwriter, ... etc.
I tried it myself but failed

Would be a wonderful thing so i dont have to tick hundred of boxes to delete all the tags instead of title & artist.

[Steegy]

You can add more fields (see leftmost column in SongData fields) in the Fields array.
But not all of them can be added though, only fields of type String, Long, Date, Boolean, ... (TEXT, REAL, INTEGER, BOOLEAN, DATE).
The database Value Type (TEXT, REAL, ...) can be seen in that table. If you click a field, a new page will open with more information about it, e.g. the field type (String, Long, ...) and possible values.
In the EmptyValues array then you also have to specify the default value you want, like the existing entries in the script.

Field Album can not be used (value type ISDBAlbum). Use AlbumName (value type String) instead.
Same for Artist. Instead of Artist use ArtistName.

Field Songwriter does not exist. Instead, maybe you mean Author, Lyricist, MusicComposer, ...?

Code: Select all

Fields = Array("Author", "Band", "Conductor", "InvolvedPeople", "Grouping", "Bookmark", "Genre", "Comment", "Lyrics", "Rating", "RatingString", "Tempo", "Quality", "Occasion", "Mood", "Publisher", "ISRC", "Encoder", "Copyright", "Lyricist", "OriginalLyricist")
    EmptyValues = Array("","","","","","0","","","","-1","","","","","","","","","","","")

Hi Steegy,

Would you consider making it possible to remove replay gain tags?

Thanx.
