Suggestions / custom formatting
March 03, 2013, 17:53:37
I'd love to have a fully customizable playlist viewer (a la foobar w/ columns_ui).

foobar titleformatting has proven to be a great tool for customization of how tag information is represented.
for example I would show my rating as 6 unicode stars, with color ranging from dark to light yellow, and a unicode spade for songs I wanted to skip (rated -1). nobody but me uses a 8 steps rating system, but thanks to titleformatting I could do as I please. And in foobar titleformatting not only applies to the title and the playlist, but to anything else as well. I think that giving that kind of power and control to the user is amazing.

I really whish GMB will one day offer similar features. I'd love to help developing them.

it would be great if you could edit the file tags in the playlist view, without opening the "song properties" dialog

Suggestions / read custom tags
March 03, 2013, 17:36:29
I've been trying all day to get GMB to read my custom tags (on mp3 flac and other files), but I realize it simply cant.

and why not allow us to write a custom field to the file tags?
why use the fpms standard to store the rating?


I think this should be addressed with the highest priority.
I'm not an expert programmer but I'd be glad to help.

it's all in the title.
I think that tags should be presented in the same manner for every file type

The "problem" is that while vorbis tags always show as a TAG->VALUE correspondence, ID3V2 displays custom tags as:
CUSTOM TEXT->(DESCRIPTION / VALUE).
