Change Encoding |
Converts the tags of individual files or clusters between different character encodings. This is often necessary with files that have only ID3v1 tags in a non-Latin encoding. |
0.9a - 0.10 |
You will probably only need to change the target encoding. If the encoding you're looking for isn't in the list, you can type it in yourself and it will hopefully work. |

Would it be possible to write a plugin that would fetch and set the year to the earliest release's release date when a EarliestReleaseRelationshipType exists? -AaronCooper (2007-07-11)
Seconded. I'd like to be able to name files like "Artist - OriginalYear - Album (releaseyear re-release|remaster)"; I like things to be sorted by original year (ie, the musical "period" of the band), but differentiate between versions (sometimes I have several). So is it possible to retrieve the metadata for a linked object?
Is there a reference somewhere with all the commands possible with Picard plugins (like webbrowser2.open(url, …) ? -- jesus2099 2007-08-07 11:59:20
Just the existing plugins, and the source itself. -- BrianSchweitzer 2007-09-18 19:27:35
Just a quick request, if it can't be a built in variable... I could easily make use of a %tracklength% variable, be it built in or generated by plugin. -- BrianSchweitzer 2007-10-19 07:03:01
So, if we make any new plugins that might be interesting, is it OK to just post them here? And if so, how do we go about hosting them here if it's necessary? -- Baldrick 2007-11-12 14:39:00
BonusDiscs seems useful, except I'm wondering how media players like iTunes will react when there are now multiple tracks with the same track number and no disc numbers to differentiate/order the tracks. Perhaps I will modify this to set all bonus discs to disc number = 99. -AaronCooper
Using the Bonus Disc plugin as is, I added the following tagger script functions: $if(%bonusdisc%,$set(discnumber,99),) to set discnumber = 99 for bonus discs and (for iTunes to sort properly) $if(%discnumber%,,$set(discnumber,1)) to make single-disc releases have discnumber = 1. -AaronCooper
