To create the playlists, do as you mentioned, and then drag and drop categories onto the playlist name. Expand the playlist name and the hierarchy will show up under Grouping. Just drag and drop more categories to build up the structure. These are the playlists I use (and the settings to make it work):

Genre
- Just drag and drop "Genre" onto the name
Genre / Artist (sorted by year, album, track number)
- Genre
- Artist (right click and set sort to: +mpYear,+mpAlbum,+mpTrack)
Genre / Artist / Album
- Genre
- Artist (set sort to: +mpYear,+mpAlbum)
- Album (set sort to: +mpTrack)
Genre / [A]rtist (could also be called Genre / ABC / Artist)
- Genre
- Artist (edit and replace expression with:
ReplaceStr((UpperCase(Copy(Trim(mpAuthor), 1, 1))), ",", #13#10)
- Artist (set sort to: +mpYear,+mpAlbum,+mpTrack)
Genre / [A]rtist / Album
- Genre
- Artist (edit and replace expression with:
ReplaceStr((UpperCase(Copy(Trim(mpAuthor), 1, 1))), ",", #13#10)
- Artist (set sort to: +mpYear,+mpAlbum)
- Album (set sort to: +mpTrack)

Most likely not.

Select songs for playlist

Post by MartinSch »

Some questions on playlists.
1. Can I make a selection of my music library?
I would like e.g. ONLY genre=Classical
or File-path=C:\Data Media\MediaMonkey\ AND NOT Genre = Classical

2. I would like to make different playlists for compilations. So I would like
ONLY music with mp3-tag Compilation=True (or "1").
More general: can I somehow access the data in mp3-tags that I don't see in the columns of WMS ?

3. In iTunes, they use Groupings, which is useful for classical music. In the mp3-tag it is field Contentgroup. Is this somehow available? I can't find it in the columns.

Hope someone can help, thanks.

1. Drag and Drop column header "Genre" to folder Playlists
2. Playlists - Genre - Grouping - "ReplaceStr(mpGenre, ',', #13#10)" - right click - Edit
3. "Allowed values" - Classical

1. ...
2. ...
3. Expression grouping - Edit - Expression

Code: Select all

begin
  if SameText(ExtractFilePath(mpFilePath), 'C:\Data Media\MediaMonkey\') and not SameText(mpGenre, 'Classical') then  
    FolderPath := 'MyGroup'    
  else  
    FolderPath := 'Other'    
end.
Ok
"Allowed values" - MyGroup

You can not do through the WMS-functions, but can use external Ole-objects to access the mp3-tags

OK, this looks hopeful, but it does not work. After I lot of trial and error I found the reason: my mp3's are in SUBfolders of C:\Data Media\MediaMonkey\.
I probably need something like "Trim(mpFilePath,1,26)". Tried different combinations, but no succes.
Do you have a manual for this kind of code (it's not in "UPNPresources"!) or can you help? Thanks!

You can try

Code: Select all

if (Pos(Uppercase('C:\Data Media\MediaMonkey\'), Uppercase(ExtractFilePath(mpFilePath))) = 1) and not SameText(mpGenre, 'Classical') then
or

Code: Select all

if MatchText(ExtractFilePath(mpFilePath), ['C:\Data Media\MediaMonkey\'], True) and not SameText(mpGenre, 'Classical') then
Quick help on the right

Thats really great Eugene, thanks a bunch! Now I can make really beautiful navigation for my music library, much better than on the iPod, even better than on iTunes.

List songs NOT by album track number?

Post by MartinSch »

Sorry, been studying but don't get it.
I would also like to list the tracks by Song title ("Track name"). But in front of the name is the track number. How do I get rid of the track numbers in front of the song. Is it possible to simply use the tag of the trackname?
Thanks.
