Delete And Skip 2.0

[trixmoto]

This script should be run whilst a track you don't like is playing. It will ask for confirmation, and then remove the track from Now Playing and delete it from your computer.

Skip can be created anywhere as it runs externally to MM. Call it anything you like as long as the file extension is VBS. Most people wouold chose to assign a keyboard hotkey to this script.

This script has been discussed and developed here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6822. This is the official release.

NEW CODE BELOW

Why don't you use SDB.Tools.FileSystem.DeleteFile ?

[trixmoto]

Because I didn't know you could!

Does SDB.Tools.DeleteTracks remove songs from the database? If not, can you from script?

[trixmoto]

New version (2.0) - more stable because it uses MM to delete the file not the file system - also means that the file is deleted from the library as well as the computer.

Code: Select all

If SDB.MessageBox(message, 3, Array(0,2)) = 6 Then

Does SDB.Tools.DeleteTracks remove songs from the database? If not, can you from script?

I think so, but don't want to test it
But it would be useless if mm would delete the file but lets it untouched in library!

[trixmoto]

After I posted I decided that I'd test it myself, and it does. It deletes it from now playing, the library and the computer. A much more stable and tidy method than the way I was doing it - cheers for pointing me towards SDB.Tools!

This looks useful. How do you assign a hotkey to a script?
I want to assign CTRL+Delete to this script.

[MeMeMe]

I get a database error when media monkey starts up: it says the error is in line 14 of DeleteAndSkip.

[trixmoto]

This is NOT an autoscript! It is an external script. This means that when MM is running and a track plays that you want to completely delete and skip to the next one, you should run this script by double clicking it, or using Windows Script Host.

You will also need an external program to assign a hotkey to running the script. I have it attached to one of my "quick" hardware keys along the top of my keyboard.

[MeMeMe]

Ah, well that explains that

FYI
I got the same error too. I think this script's installer from your site is putting it in the Auto directory...
Anyway, can't wait to try out all these scripts and really see MediaMonkey at work!
Thanks

[trixmoto]

I have updated the installer to put the file in the Scripts folder, not the Auto folder. Thanks for pointing this out.
