BitRate column in Tag tab

I've been using Godfather for several years & am amazed at how powerful & versatile this application is. And for it being offered as freeware amazes me even more. I want to personally offer a thousand "Thanks" for this gem!

I just installed the latest version & I'm a bit confused with the new configuration. I've figured out most of the new design changes & am becoming comfortable with it more & more. However, I have some questions I'd like some help on.

How do I get the BitRate column into the Tab tab edit window?

After creating my mp3s & making the tag edits to accommodate my personal preferences, I export them to an Excel spreadsheet. How do I include, (or exclude), particular columns in my .csv export?

I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple, so forgive me for asking novice questions, but I would appreciate any friendly advice.

Thanks!

You can use the export functionality in the organize panel.
This uses scripts now and there are several ready made ones, but tell me the columns you need to export and I'll create one, its quite easy.

Thank you for your reply. I see now what you are implying, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I would like to see BitRate, FileSize, and AudioSize columns added in the exporting .csv script, and also under the Tag editing tab. If you demonstrate how the script should appear with these variables included to display the appropriate columns, I think I can figure it out from there. Thanks in advance!

Here is  sample sript that you can use in the tag panel to export the data you want

Code: Select all

program Exportlist;

const
  _DELIM = ';';
var
  sTmp: string;
  slTmp: TStringList;
begin

  if not tg_init then exit;
  slTmp := TStringList.Create;

  repeat
     tg_LoadFile;
     sTmp := gTag.FileName  + _DELIM +
             gTag.Track     + _DELIM +
             gTag.Artist    + _DELIM +
             gTag.Title     + _DELIM +
             gTag.Album     + _DELIM +
             gTag.Year      + _DELIM +
             gTag.Genre     + _DELIM +
             gTag.Comment   + _DELIM +
             InttoStr(gTag.Filesize)  + _DELIM +
             InttoStr(gTag.Audiosize) + _DELIM +
             gTag.Bitrate   + _DELIM +
             gTag.DurationF;

     slTmp.Add( sTmp );
  until not tg_Skip;

  sys_SlTofile( slTmp, 'C:\1.csv', 1 );
  slTmp.Free;

end.
