I can't start a new thread without saying that I've been using MusicBee for about a year and a half now and I'm still finding new and amazing ways to use this tool. It's just the best.
With that out of the way, I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide some suggestions for a particular goal I'd like to accomplish.
Basically, I was hoping to achieve "Genre Category"-like functionality for the "Location" tag. Basically, I'd like to be able to group music by location in a hierarchical way, e.g. "North America > Canada > Montreal" or "Africa > Nigeria", etc. Ideally, I would be able to add various levels of location tags (continent, country, province/state, city) and then have these be sorted intelligently.
I realize that this is even more complicated than the "Genre Category" functionality, because that only has two levels (Genre Category > Genre) and this potentially has four (continent > country > province/state > city). If I have to keep it to one level, that would still be very useful (e.g. Continent > other location options).
Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Maybe with Virtual Tags?
(Since geographic information is relatively stable, I also wonder if this functionality couldn't be built into the software (or a plugin), such that it has an independent database of location information that intelligently parses the location field. But that sounds like a lot of development work to me).
