BRTPB 3 Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Hi, Could you please add to the list and general view, BPM, key & energy level that can be found in MP3 tags? Also, possibility to sort and search by BPM, key & energy level. Is it possible for users to have their own playlists? Edited March 21, 2022 by BRTPB 1
BRTPB 3 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) MIX IN KEY and DJ Pools are updating those details as well. With these possibilities Emby would be perfect for DJs. Edited March 21, 2022 by BRTPB
Luke 42243 Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 @Vicpa @ginjaninja do you know of other software that uses this information?
BRTPB 3 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Recordbox, Serato DJ, Virtual DJ ..... Edited March 21, 2022 by BRTPB 1
BRTPB 3 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 I could not find any media server that reads and shows this data and from which a playlist can be created and exported with mp3 files to a USB stick.
BRTPB 3 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 You could also add a new DJ view instead of modifying an existing one.

Hi, No. It seems to be a very specific use case "DJ" that is not applicable to me. I did a quick check and Picard does have a plugin for BPM. (see below). It is linux only with a couple of external dependencies, so again I can't comment. -vicpa 1
Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 i have used Composer as a proxy for DJ as i do have a large number of mixed albums
maxiniedermeier 17 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Would be very Nice and a good Use of the blank Space in my opinion
maxiniedermeier 17 Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Any News on this At least the BPM and Key tags would be nice if there were shown on big screens. And i had thougt about it for some time but would it be possible to create a auto mix function with this information so it would take songs with a BPM range 120-130 some keys and from the same genre as example

Thanks.
maxiniedermeier 17 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Hi, i just wanted to ask if there is any update on the request. The Key features to show the BPM & Key which are stored in the mp3 Tags would be very nice. The Auto Play Function from my last Post would also be very nice to see but if i remember correctly i had seen a new request about roughly the same thing

user24 350 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 (edited) @brothom Hey, this is a reply in reference to your other topic that is now closed and was redirected here. https://emby.media/community/topic/146994-tbpm-metadata-tag-filter/#comment-1513763 Perhaps the plugin mentioned in this current topic may be useful for you... BUT ALSO... In general (in case you don't know already) you can get any of your individual song/track embedded Tags, that Emby doesn't support now, into Emby using ROONTRACKTAG. While the following approach is not a magic silver bullet, it can be quite useful: In Mp3tag, bulk copy wanted tags to a custom ROONTRACKTAG field. Rescan relevant files in Emby to import them into Emby Tags. Then, use the Smart Playlists plugin to create smart playlists based on these Tags. I'm fairly certain you'll figure out the details, if it's of any benefit for you? Cheers! Edited March 24 by user24 2
brothom 211 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 @user24i want to avoid any "third party integrations" as to make Emby as whole as possible. I would prefer not to jankily copy-paste files and cross my fingers it won't mess up my installation (as there is no guarantee obviously). Still, looking at this FR mine was a duplicate and I would like to have access to extra meta for songs as well and also filters / sort by them.
