Media Library Viewer & (embedded) cuesheets

Hello,

I've done some searching, but I couldn't find what I was looking for, so here we go...
I'm using the standard Media Library Viewer and I realized I can't browse for single tracks within a WavPack-file with embedded cuesheet (nor with a seperate cuesheet-file). Haven't tested it, but I guess the same goes for FLAC-files with embedded cuesheet. Each time I'm trying to find a single track within my lossless album backups I have to open the entire album first and throw away all songs from the playlist but the one I was searching for.
I was wondering if it's possible to browse within (embedded) cuesheets with the Media Library Viewer, just like browsing within (sub)directories. I've done some searching on 3rd party components, but I don't think any of them support this.

I think somewhere on the forum was someone who titleformatted an Album List view pattern to do this.

Do you remember where? I've searched the hydrogenaudio forums with multiple keywords, but haven't found anything.

Well, you could try:
Code: [Select]
$replace($directory_path(%path%),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$if(%subsong%,|%subsong% - %title%)


Note: I haven't tested this.

Thanks a lot shakey_snake, it seems to work just fine. I can now add specific tracks within a multitrack file to the playlist no problem.
Since I have my album list always sorted by folder structure, I've changed the code somewhat so looks the same:
Code: [Select]
$replace($directory_path($substr(%path%,12,999)),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$if(%subsong%,|%tracknumber% - %title%)
$substr(%path%,12,999) --> so it skips "D:\Audible\" in my case and starts indexing there.
%tracknumber% instead of %subsong% --> "01 - song title" looks better than "1 - song title" imo.

I have 2 questions though:
- On the wiki page about $directory_path(x) is says "Extracts directory path from the file path x.". Then what exactly are the '\' and '|' for?
- The downside of this code: All singletrack files are now listed too; example:

Artist - 01 - Title.mp3
  |--- 01 - Title

I think I need something like "if length/amount of %subsong% is greater than 1, then list, else don't list". Too bad I'm not that good with code like this, so do you think you can help me with this?

Does anyone know how to form a command for this "if then"-problem?

Try this [untested and may not work]:

NOTE: Replace x with whatever %subsong% yields for a single track.

Quote
$replace($directory_path($substr(%path%,12,999)),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$if(%subsong%,$ifgreater(%subsong%,x,|%tracknumber% - %title%,))

ps. The '\','|' bit is replacing a '\' with a '|'.

Thanks a lot carpman!
The following codes seem to work fine:
Code: [Select]
$replace($directory_path($substr(%path%,12,999)),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$if(%subsong%,$ifgreater(%subsong%,0,|%tracknumber% - %title%))
$replace($directory_path($substr(%path%,12,999)),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$if($greater(%subsong%,0),|%tracknumber% - %title%))

The whole time I thought I needed something like "if length/amount of %subsong% is greater than 1, then list, else don't list", but when I just simply added '%subsong%' to the standard code for testing, I witnessed all singletrack files returning a %subsong% of 0! So that's when I knew the only integer for this code to work is 0!

So now multitrack files (with embedded cuesheet) are expandable just like directories, while singletrack files remain unexpandable.

Note: I haven't tested it with multitrack files with separate cuesheet.

If it works it works, and that's good, but I'm surprised the 2nd line works:
Code: [Select]
$if($greater(%subsong%,0)

This has a surplus bracket:
$if($greater(%subsong%,0),|%tracknumber% - %title%))

shouldn't it be:
$ifgreater(%subsong%,0,THEN...,OTHERWISE....)
So ....
Code: [Select]
$replace($directory_path($substr(%path%,12,999)),'\','|')|%filename_ext%$ifgreater(%subsong%,0,|%tracknumber% - %title%,)

i.e. if subsong > 0, THEN %tracknumber% - %title%, OTHERWISE nothing

You're right, there's one bracket too much, nonetheless it seems to work fine.
The code is also logical; $greater(%subsong%,0) returns a TRUE in case of multitrack files in which case the subsongs get the %tracknumber% - %title% format.
Frankly $if($greater( , ), ) is the same as $ifgreater( , , , ), but anyway, your code works fine too, so thanks again!

Ah, interesting. That's useful to know. Didn't realise that's how $greater worked.

Cheers,
