Does not work with WASAPI Exclusive mode.This plugin allows you to configure any Metadata tag to be announced before or after a track plays using any installed voice in windows.
To open the settings go to Hamburger Menu->Edit Preferences->Plugins->verbeeliser->Configure
Any tag in the list on the left can be dragged to the right hand list. These can be dragged around to whatever order you want. You have to click on the actual text in the right hand list not just the line its in to drag them around.
To remove an item from the right hand list just drag it outside box. You will lose any Prefix/suffix/No Value you had set for that item.
Note: it will be deleted as soon as you drag it outside the box, it doesn't wait for you to release the mouse button. It won't let you remove the last item.
The voice dropdown is populated by the installed voices in windows. You can add more voices by going to the following section in Windows - Settings->Time & Language->Speech->Manage Voices
End of Track specifies if the announcement happens at the end of the track
Volume Offset - The announcement uses the current volume setting in Musicbee. This value will increase the volume used for the announcement by the specified amount
Double clicking an item in the right hand list will open another form (again you have to double click the text, not just the line it's in).
Prefix - This will be spoken before the tag value
Suffix - This will be spoken after the tag value
No Value - This will be spoken if the tag value is empty.
In the example you can see I have it setup the Rating Tag. If the track playing has a 2.5 star rating it will say "Rating 2.5 stars". If the rating is empty it will say "Rating Zero Stars"
if all these settings are left blank it would just say "2.5" or nothing at all if it's empty.
If you want to add a small delay just add 3 full stops "..."
If the Prefix was set to "Rating...", when the announcement happens there will be a small pause between it saying "Rating" and "2.5". I've used quotes here to stipulate the values, you don't need to use quotation marks when entering the values.
I haven't done extensive testing so your mileage may vary....
edit: I new I would forget something.... You can also setup a hot key so it will announce the current playing song.
Hamburger Menu->Edit Preferences->Hotkeys->VerBeeliser Playing Track.
When the hot key is pressed it will pause the song, announce the information and then resume playing it.
