PLUGIN ADDS SEVERAL COMMANDS TO MB MAIN MENU1. Copy tagAllows you to copy one tag to another for selected files. It's possible to append one tag to the end of another tag or add one tag to the beginning of another tag placing custom text between them. Also, its possible to use '<Null>' pseudo tag as the source to append static text to the destination tag.
2. Swap tagsSwaps any two tags for selected files.
3. Change caseChanges letter case of a tag according to rather sophisticated rules for selected tracks.
4. Library reportsAllows to export some library statistics for currently displayed tracks to external file: HTML document (as a table), tab delimited text, M3U playlist (its only possible to export file paths to playlists, but considering filtering capability of command this option may be useful). This may be used for reimporting table in spreadsheet editor (including HTML table - it's the easiest way to import track list to MS Excel) for printing statistics or just content of your library, filtered content of library or your playlists.
5. Auto rateCalculates auto rating on the basis of the number of plays per day for selected tracks. Also, its possible to auto rate all tracks of your library on MusicBee startup or update auto rating if currently played track is changed.
6. Reencode tagEven ID3V2 tags are usually stored not in UTF encoding (which is independent of language), so in most cases reading ID3 tags is only useful if tags use the same encoding (in general - language) as your windows default encoding. This command allows you to convert any incorrectly interpreted not UTF tags to UTF tags. In this command 'initial encoding' is the suggested actual encoding of tag and the 'used encoding' is incorrectly interpreted encoding of tag (Usually it's your default windows encoding. The only sense to change 'used encoding' is if you get a music file from another computer with different regional settings).
7. Reencode TagsCommand to re-encode all tags of selected tracks at ones. Cuesheets are supported.
8. Advanced search and replace- 'Advanced search and replace' works only with regular expressions.
- 'Advanced search and replace' has savable/customizable presets.
- Checked 'Advanced search and replace' presets will be automatically executed if any tag is changed and/or if new tracks are added to the library/inbox.
- 'Advanced search and replace' can search in one tag and make replacement in another tag.
- Single 'Advanced search and replace' preset can make up to 5 subsequent replacements.
- Plugin includes several ASR presets and new presets will be available for download later.
9. Calculate average album ratingsCommand averages all the ratings of the individual tracks on the album, writing the result to an Album rating. Any tags can be used as album and track ratings. This may be useful for calculating average album rating for auto rating stored in custom tag.
10. Plugin has the option to store "last skipped date/time" in any writable tag (e.g. some custom tag)Go to MusicBee menu> Edit> Preferences> Plugins> Additional Tagging Tools> Configure. Click the button "Save last skipped date..." at the bottom of plugin settings window.
Plugin strictly follows MusicBee convention of what is "skipped track".To define date type of custom tag, open MusicBee menu> Edit> Preferences> Tags (1)> Define New Tags> Configure Fields. Find "Custom1" tag (or some other custom tag), change type to "Date".
See here screenshot of this setting11. Backup & RestoreBackup & restore commands allow to (auto)backup tags of all tracks in your library and restore them. First create full backup manually. You can do manual or auto incremental backups after this.
