There was some scripting work done to read non-native tags but unfortunately you have to do it at the lowest level and it's very unreliable. For example, all the MediaMonkey tags I could read fine but I found a lot of the PicardTagger tags didn't follow the standards so I couldn't read them.

However, the developers have said this is something that will be appearing in a future version of MediaMonkey, at least available to scripters if not within the native program.

Hi,

No way to use tags that MediaMonkey doesn't read natively, I'm afraid :(

Howto search for non-standard tags, e.g. MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID

Is there away to identify (search for) all tracks/albums that have been tagged with Musicbrainz Picard? Those tracks have tags like <MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID> (I can see them with mp3tag, but not with MediaMonkey. I'd like to be able to select/find and process (tag, add album art, etc) only those tracks that haven't been touch by Picard (because I trust the Musicbrainz tagging to be correct).

I have read the FAQ and looked in the WIKI/knowledgebase and tried the regular search functionality in MM, and using MagicNodes and various other of the popular add-on scripts. But I am still scratching my head :-(

Is there an easy way to do this? Essentially I guess what I am asking is: How can one search for non-standard tags (added by other software than MM) that isn't perhaps supported by MM? Some script that I have missed perhaps?

Thanks.
