Using Custom Field to show playlist inclusion

Post by MagGyver »

Hi all,

I'm setting up a new computer and having trouble figuring out how I accomplished a customization on my old computer using MM5. I think I added the customization back when I was using MM4 and it carried over when I upgraded. I've perused the forums and my subscriptions to posts, as well as my MM add-on library on my backup drive and the .ini file, but I'm still not sure how to do this again.

I had set up Custom Field 1 with the label "In playlist" which shows all the playlists that a track belongs to. It's a huge deal for me, as I use playlists almost exclusively to curate my library for DJ sets, so I am hoping someone might know how I go about this.

Is it a script? An addition to the .ini file? Something else?

Please help, if anyone can. Thank you!

There was a Addon for MediaMonkey 4 to get Playlist into Tags. I don't think there is one for MediaMonkey 5/2024.

Thanks for the quick reply. I asked ChatGPT to help me make a script for this, and I'm delighted to report that it works! Using the Custom1 field for this.

If you think that is something that others might enjoy, I'm happy to share it.

Does this add all of the playlist names a track is included in, in the custom field?

Is there a limit to how many lists can be shown? Does it effectively duplicate what is shown under properties, classification, and add it to this field?

I think some people might find this useful.
