WAV Filename Import
« on: March 11, 2008, 22:20:40 »
As stations seem to be using linear WAV files now, would it be possible for mAirList to read filenames in a "universal" format ?  ie: Artist - Title.wav   At present, WAV files appear in the Playlist with the whole filename (minus the .wav extension) showing in the Title field.  I would imagine a delimiter character could be set via mAirListconfig (such as a hyphen) and this would then allow mAirList to "read" the filename format.

A little tip if you already have a WAV duplicate of your MP3 library - Make a copy of your MMD files, and then use the excellent Bulk Rename Utility* to replace the .mp3 extension with .wav - Then move them back into your MMD folder - You'll then have identical data for both MP3 and WAV  :)

I realise that I've just solved my own problem - but I suppose it's something to think about  :-\

* said utility is also great for tidying-up mis-spells of artists/groups and bringing your naming structure into some form of consistency (ie: and instead of &, and featuring instead of ft. or feat etc).
