Simple string suitable for most uses

More complex string that works with artists with a leading dot, e.g. .38 Special. Biography always replaces leading dots with an underscore to stop foobar2000 choking on them

Put the string in, e.g. Default user interface: file>preferences>display>album art>artist pattern Columns user interface: artwork sources

CHANGE *YOUR PATH* as required; patterns assume biography is saving to default location

All tag writing is from saved sources (i.e. only existing info in already saved bios and reviews is written). This is to comply with constraints of certain sites. The tagger should work best if Biography has been used for a while. Tags are multi-value except rating and listeners. Remove number punctuation from listeners if you need to sort, e.g. $replace(%Artist Listeners Last.fm%,',',,.,, ,).

If checked, tags for the current track are notified to other Spider Monkey Panels. This includes artist data for radio streams. Notifications are sent on track change and when new or updated data is received. The current track will be the playing track or selected track depending on the panel display mode. This may differ between panels if there is more than one biography panel. The selection mode and the handle are sent. Default tag names are used instead of any custom names above. This is so third party scripts know what to expect. Use on_notify_data(name, info) in the receiving panel to process the notification, where: name is 'biographyTags' info is an object: { handle: handle of current track, selectionMode: biography selectionMode - string either 'Prefer nowplaying' or 'Follow selected track (playlist)' tags: { {name: value}, {name: value}... } } The receiving panel can check the selectionMode & compare the handle to that expected, e.g. function on_notify_data(name, info) { if (name == 'biographyTags') { console.log('Biography selection mode: ', info.selectionMode) const cur_handle = fb.GetNowPlaying(); // set required handle if (cur_handle && cur_handle.Compare(info.handle)) { // info.handle: should never be null: no notification is sent if there isn't a handle // do something const tags = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(info.tags)); // to store the data from 'info' you have to perform a deep copy Object.entries(tags).forEach(([key, value], i) => { if (!i) console.log("To access individual tags use, e.g: tags['Locale Last.fm'] value: " + tags['Locale Last.fm']) console.log(`${i + 1}. ${key}: ${value}`); // print all tag values }); } } } Multi-value tags notifed are arrays; others are strings. The example can be copied by opening config.html in a text editor (search for example). Third party scripts can set the biography selection mode by using window.NotifyOthers('bio_followSelectedTrack', boolean), where boolean is either true [Follow selected track (playlist)] or false [Prefer nowplaying].
