Option to display sorting tags (romanized) when tags have non-latin characters #73

Open Senchi3 opened 3 years ago

An option so that the romanized "sorting" version of the tags can be displayed if the original tags have any non-latin characters. I listen to a lot of Japanese music so I'd like for people who don't know Japanese to know what I'm listening to. Thanks for making this extension btw, it's awesome :)

I am not really sure what you mean, are you talking about the placeholders table? Otherwise there is no sorting I could think of. Could you add a screenshot and a detailedf explanation whats wrong and how it should be?

Nothing is wrong, it's not a bug report, it's a suggestion. I mean that the plugin should be able to display the english or romanized names of songs and artists by grabbing them from the "Title Sort Order", "Artist Sort Order" etc. tags which are available in MP3 files.

So basically "if there are non-latin chars in the tag, use this tag instead" if I understand correctly?

Have you looked at the "Virtual Tags" feature of MusicBee? I think you could get what you want using them and DiscordBee supports displaying (some #66) of them. I know not that much about what can be done with them but its a pretty mighty tool (https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Useful_Virtual_Tag_Formulas).
