[Suggestion] [TidalTags]: Let plugin fill up the playlist with audio quality info without the need to manually play each song in the playlist #39

Right now, the plugin fills up the information only after the song has been played (and not always too, see this issue: https://github.com/Inrixia/neptune-plugins/issues/38)

The idea is to let the plugin fill up these information without the need to manually play all the songs in the playlist.

I was actually thinking about this exact same thing, but I thought that since it appears the info isn't acquired until the track is actually played (and header info acquired,) I can't see there being a way to have it do this without polling every track on the playlist. That strikes me as something that would be VERY resource-intensive. But hey... Whaddo I know? =]

@sunspot478 not resource intensive. But I'm avoidant to hitting the tidal cdn in that way.

Easy to do and I'll eventually implement it imo (why this is still open) but I will want to implement a random delay of probably 1-5 seconds between each track.

Thankfully for 99% of tracks getting the track info does not require fetching the entire track, most only need a head request to the cdn to get filesize, and few require either the track or first couple hundred bytes.

Going to close this as not planned as there are properties that are retrieved when playing a track (duration etc) which are not possible to get otherwise.

While handling cases where this information isnt available already exists, it requires grabbing enough of the track to do a full metadata decode. So really just skipping through each track would be faster anyway.
