Title: tagging playlist order into custom tags
Post by: Ein on January 18, 2013, 02:24:34 PM

This is a suggestion to allow the command 'Tools >> Tagging Tools >> Renumber Tracks' to optionally write the new track numbers into a different tag that the user chooses (especially a custom tag).

Basically, one might want to do this do create a personalized track order without changing the canonical track numbers that come from the album.  This is a purpose similiar to what playlists provide, but using tags to order tracks instead of a playlist is more flexible (the tags work in every playlist you put the album into) and more robust (the tags travel with the file wherever it goes, while a playlist will break when files and folders move).  I also posted about using this capability for a more specialized purpose here: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=8433.0

Probably I can add this option to 'Copy tag' command of this plugin (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=3833.0) to copy displayed sequence number pseudo-tag to custom tag. This should work not only with playlists, but with any currently displayed list of tracks (maybe filtered content of library for example).

That's done. See download page of plugin (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=3833.msg20793#msg20793)
