Using the 'Smart-Tagz' feature

Smart-TagZ is a special feature i recently added to my fooAMP Ultra design that adds the ability for the skin to guess tags that may be missing for the file that is currently playing.

It works by simply guessing values from the filename. so, as you can probably guess, it relies on the fact that you have a consistant filenaming format.

i built the script to work with, what seemed to me, the most common naming formats, which are:

xx-artist-title.mp3

xx - artist - title.mp3

artist-title.mp3

xx-artist-title_(remix).mp3

xx-artist_-_title.mp3

now on to using it...

Enabling/Disabling 'Smart-Tagz'

You can toggle the feature using the 2nd of the two square 'formatting buttons' located under the album display

the feature is invisible when a full id3 is present, so i decided to turn it on by default. Therefore every time you open the skin, it will reset to the 'on' toggle.

You can switch it off at anytime by clicking the square toggle button, but If you wish to make it 'off' by default, simply open the .ski and change 'toggle 1' to 'toggle 0' in the following:

section user19
int toggle 1
string include user18
string tooltip "toggle smart-tags '(guess missing fields)'"
int x 16
