Making use of 'Comments' for more than the key
I know you can populate the 'Comments' field with the key.
I would much prefer to be able to append the Comments field with the Danceability and Mood, so that I can apply those to Smart Playlists within iTunes.
I know very little about coding, but I've accomplished things in the past adapting Javascript and such.
What I would like to know is:
a) Is it within the realms of possibility to create an plugin to append the comments field with Danceability and Mood?
b) Would this be simple enough to do for a non-coder?

Hey Steven,
a plugin that does what you want would be fairly simply for a coder—just adapt the plugin https://github.com/beatunes/plugin-samples/tree/master/keytocomment to your needs. Or, alternatively, use https://github.com/beatunes/beaTlet-samples/blob/master/groovy/Colo... as a starting point.
I'm afraid to say, that for a non-coder, this might turn out to be a pretty large project as there is definitely a learning curve. But do take a look at the code and see whether it makes sense to you!

Thanks. I think I’m going to have to go down the route of editing the tags manually (and maybe hope that this is added as a feature in the future).
Thank you again for the advice.
