Musical key variable for dynamic playlists

[Alec]

I am trying to use my musical keys for some dynamic playlists. I have the playlist displaying the %initialkey% variable from Mixedinkey, is there also a way to use custom variables for dynamic playlists?

There aren't dynamic playlists in wacup unless this a confusion over a different feature as I don't refer to anything with that naming. Or are you referring to the media library playlists view handling? As those will only refresh the titles when manually instructed to do it with it using the main playlist ATF formatting to generate the title that'll then be cached (there isn't a library playlist specific formatting option provided).

I also don't see anything that's winamp related on that site so unless you're using a specific input plug-in & that's handling that metadata request, I don't know where you're going to be getting the %initialkey% value from as it's not something I'm doing afaict.

Yes I mean the library views, I am trying to read a custom variable/tag, something like %initialkey% that is saved in my music files by a key detector program. I can call it in the playlist titles ATF, but cant seem to load it in the library view through a query.

The local library only stores & shows values it's been hard coded to cache. Making it support custom metadata isn't a can of worms I don't want to open at this time but it's been mentioned before so may be considered.

OK, thanks for your continuous efforts to keep this alive, its an important tool for complex playlists.
