Question: Have any Swinsian users figured out how to locate newly imported tracks in the browser in order to edit their metadata? (For playback, I use a script to copy a selection of tracks in Swinsian to the queue in HQ Player.) I recently switched from iTunes to Swinsian as a music database manager because Swinsian handles FLAC and DSF files.Home of the compulsive music collectors who are looking to expand, archive or organize their music library. However, there are plenty of other alternatives for you on this list. I find that classical albums purchased online often have mixed-up metadata so that I cannot dependably find the tracks in a newly imported album by searching for a composer, work or artist. Far from the cheapest choice on this list, Waltr 2 is yet another incredibly useful, solid alternative to the ever so popular iTunes.įrom art to technology, every modification is a step towards perfection. In iTunes, you can sort tracks by Date Added or define a smart playlist for recently added tracks. Swinsian does not seem to have this capability.Īn awkward solution I’ve adopted is to create an empty playlist and then import new tracks by dragging them to the playlist window. However, it’s a nuisance to arrange the Finder and Swinsian windows to permit dragging.Īn alternative solution would be to use a separate tagging program to fix the tags before importing them to Swinsian.Īny other suggestions? I will follow up with the developer if no one here has a good solution. (I titled this topic to encourage a broader discussion of Swinsian usage tips.) #SWINSIAN ALTERNATIVE WINDOWS# I created an AppleScript that might be too primitive for you to find much more useful than drag-and-drop. If you select (highlight) a number of tracks in the Swinsian browser and then run the script (e.g., by putting the script's icon in the Dock or a scripts menu), the script adds those tracks to HQP's queue. It does not control HQP's volume or track selection.Īctually, it has one additional feature that's very useful to me but possibly not to others. Most of my tracks in iTunes are in ALAC format, which HQP cannot play. So my script checks whether any of the selected tracks are in ALAC or MP3 format and, if so, it creates a FLAC counterpart and then adds the FLAC file to the HQP queue. All tags except Rating are copied from the ALAC to the FLAC file. Unfortunately, Swinsian does not have an AppleScript command for adding the FLAC file to its library, so you'd have to manually perform the next step of importing the FLAC files to Swinsian, manually copying any Ratings, then deleting the original ALAC files. ![]()
