After so many years, it's great to see that my very old code (for MP3Tag) is still being used and still works! Sorry for waking the old thread, but I ran across this thread and just had to say thanks for checking it out and using it :-) Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver'

Interesting... I went out to the MP3Tag forum to see about rounding the TBPM to the nearest integer and believe it or not this is the most recent topic! http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=17760 In that thread there's a link to a older thread that has action code from Moonbase that seems

I tested MoonBase action in MP3Tag against a couple of albums and then did a clear and full rescan. With the BPM in the tags now being full integers with no decimal places it populates in the SQ database just fine! So now it's time to go to work on the SQL playlist that will filter on Genre and

This should be my last entry on this... Using the SQL Playlist plugin I created a Advanced Playlist with Genre=Rock and Year =1990 and Year =1970 to get a template. Then I edited the SQL to change the year criteria to bpm values... -- PlaylistName:TestBPM -- PlaylistGroups: select tracks.url

w3wilkes, You expressed interest in how I use sqlite together with batch files to extract the tables (which I then import into Access). You might no longer be interested after JJZolx's recommendation [thanks from me too, JJZolx] but, as it would be a bit too long winded to post here so I have

I took a look at some of the code and it appears that TBPM is recognized. What kind of values do you have in these tags? I came across a check in the code that makes sure the value is numeric. I believe the following requires that the value be a plain non-zero integer. So something like 120.0 or

Yes, I do have TBPM populated using MixMeister BPM Analyzer. http://www.mixmeister.com/download-bpmanalyzer.php It does do numbers (like 133.56). Looks like all TBPM values are taken to 2 decimal points and there's no ability to tell it to round to the nearest whole number. 2 Duets - 1 for

Thanks! I would be interested in your batch file. I'll also give the Firefox thing a shot, I'll have to get Firefox installed too. I do have Access and Excel so I can import to either. On the Clear and rescan, I seem to always do this when I add music or do tagging work. On my ~20,000 track

Firstly I suggest that you copy the library.db to a different folder and then use the copy of library.db instead of the file in use by LMS (it avoids the risk of inadvertently changing the database) I don't use GUI but use a batch file to extract the tables which I then import into Access (or

@JJZolx, THANKS! Exactly what I was looking for! This works perfectly. Now the big question in the Tracks table is... Since it has a BPM column, why isn't it populated if it exists in the TBPM tag of MP3 files? I was thinking this would be a very useful filter if you were building a SQL/Dynamic
