Vinyl Rips - redged - 25-09-2019 18:25

Hello all after some help if anyone can! As always great if you can & no worries if not.

Some of my albums are ripped from vinyl and I have added [Vinyl] to the end of the title in the tags e.g. Dark Side Of The Moon [Vinyl]

What I was was wondering is if there is anyway I can create a sort for vinyl rips only, so a folder shows at start for vinyl rips, as well as albums, items, Artist, Genre etc.....

I managed to do it for compilations as I use the name Various Artists in AlbumArtist tag (I only use AlbumArtist tag for compliations). I used the following line and I now have a Compilations folder.

indexTags AlbumArtists=Various Artists:Compilations

As said early thanks in advance for any help given.

The best way to do this is to use a tag editor program to add a tag to identify these albums. For example, the name of the tag could be Vinyl and its value could be yes.

To quickly find these albums, you could add Vinyl=yes to the indexTags property. This adds a new menu selection named Vinyl. When you click on this menu selection, you will see everything tagged with Vinyl=yes.

Thanks Simon. I'll give it a go and report back as soon as I've got it working.

If you don't fancy creating new tags and the selection is small (or you're happy to script it) you could use a tagUpdate script.

tagUpdate.txt
Code:
@ALBUM=Dark Side Of The Moon [Vinyl]
+VINYL=1
@ALBUM=The Wall [Vinyl]
+VINYL=1

and then:

indexTags: VINYL=1:VinylRips
tagUpdate: [path]\tagUpdate.txt
