batch processing of tag conversions

[gearond]

Now that I've had to upgrade to Windows Vista, my old version of Musicmatch no longer works. It had the GREATEST library manger of all the Jukebox software out there. (The new Winamp is getting close, but not quite)

Unfortunately, MusicMatch added custom tags, which do not show up for other programs. I fortunately added those values to the comments for future use, if I have to convert them by hand.

What I'd like is a little application that would take a value in a Musicmatch tag and do a little text processing on it, and then write it to a standard tag.

I.E.

<MusicMatch_Preference>-<5-Excellent>
would be written to
<Rating>-<5>
then deleted

<MusicMatch_Tempo>-<143 bpm>
would be written to
<Beats-per_minute>-<143>
then deleted

The best of all worlds would be if I could find a PHP tag access/editing module that I could code for on a web site and just run it once on all my files. Otherwise, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Re: batch processing of tag conversions

Have you tried Altiris SVS ?
Maybe you can port your application (musicmatch) from XP to Vista somehow ?

You might also find a solution in search and replace programs to do the trick for you...though this would mean treating each parameter seperately.
