Sample Read and Write Method(s)

Instructions

1. Copy the sample code into a text editor
2. Replace highlighted terms with information from the items page in the Property Summary Table Title e.g.
   1. Value Name = Title
   2. Value Type = String
   3. Field Name = SongTitle
   4. Database Table = Songs
3. Change the SelectMethod = 1 to a number corresponding to the select method required e.g.
   1. SelectMethod = 2 would use SQLQuery Method
4. Comment all lines that DO NOT match the SelectMethod chosen by adding a single quote to the front of the line e.g. If SelectMethod was set as 3 all lines with 'SelectMethod not containing 2 would need to be commented out (or removed)
   1. ' For iCounter = 0 to objSongList.count - 1 'SelectMethod 4 SongLists
5. Save the file as WikiSample.vbs in ...MediaMonkey\Scripts folder
6. Edit the ...MediaMonkey\Scripts\Scripts.ini and add (copy/paste the section between '<-- Start ini code and '<--- End ini code) and save
7. Start MM and select menu Tools --> Scripts --> WikiSample

Note: If Value Type = Object you will need to add the Member Name to the code e.g. ObjectAlbum = objSongData.Album.Member
