Additional Tagging & Reporting Tools

How about always removing a carriage return at the end of value when pasting? Then it will work for lyrics tag as well.

try this version:

No differences from the previous version as it keeps adding a carriage return.

[boroda]

this one?

Great! It no longer adds it when pasting. Thanks!

BTW copying lyrics field (using copy/paste selected tags command) doesn't seem to work. It copies nothing. Does it work for you?

[boroda]

yes, its working fine here.

Does it copy from MB's database rather than from the file?
I tried with a file in the library, then it copies lyrics. But for a file not imported to the library it copies nothing.

boroda recently made some changes to the <Lyrics?> tag for me. These also weren't successful.
Could there be some confusion regarding the <Lyrics> tag (embedded or in an external .txt/ .lrc file) and the <Lyrics?> tag in the database (really only a flag to show if tracks are marked as no lyrics, unsynched lyrics or synched lyrics)?

Just tested with couple of albums copying <Lyrics?> tag and it's working fine for me. What's your problem exactly?

[Bee-liever]

boroda tried to make <Lyrics?> writable in ASR and MSR.
It didn't work.
Lyrics? is now no longer selectable for writing in either panel.

[redwing]

Was it ever possible to write something on <Lyrics?> tag?
I thought it's a read-only tag and "mark having no lyrics" can be enabled only via tag editor or track info panel.

[Bee-liever]

It was writable in MSR, when tried to extend to ASR it wouldn't work in either.

boroda thought that Steven may have made a change to the API

what do you mean by "file not imported to the library"? file in the inbox? or file, which is in a playlist only, but not in mb database?

[redwing]

A file not belonging to any of those.

i.e. you are coping lyrics to clipboard in another program? 'paste tags from clipboard' will expect tag set in clipboard, which was last time used by 'copy tags clipboard'.
