Grouping tag not working for tagnavi_custom.config

--- Quote from: philip123 on January 06, 2010, 07:00:59 AM ---So for all mp3's that don't have a grouping tag, the title is used instead.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening, so that for all mp3's where the grouping tag is not set they should just be ignored, or a grouping of "" should be used and not the title?

This was a design decision when the feature was introduced: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7362
I can see the an advantage in both ways but since I don't use the tag I don't have a strong opinion. Maybe its worth an opinion poll?
As a workaround you could tag all the non-tagged ones with a special tag and exclude this in a condition. Or if (for example) only your classical tracks use grouping you can use Genre in the condition.

Hi,
Thanks but it won't be a very nice work-around for me to tag all the tracks that don't have tags. I use a couple of special custom fields in Mediamonkey, custom 1, custom 2, custom 3, custom 4, custom 5.
I am trying to get some of that information into rockbox because I use it to build my playlists.
I need to get the info from custom 1 into rockbox, so my option is to copy it to the grouping or the comment field. But I don't want to use the comment field because it already contains some information.
Llorean:
The grouping tags can't really work properly if they don't fall back to the standard tag when not present - otherwise they'd require all files contain both tags even when they are identical (and tagnavis designed for grouping could not work well with files not tagged for it).
philip123:
Thanks for explaining it. I understand. I will make use of another field for my purposes.
I am just wondering, would it be possible at all to add support for the custom mp3 tags that mediamonkey uses.
For instance: custom 1, custom 2 and custom 3?
Update:
I have now tried to use the comment field.
It is working more-or-less but I am seeing some problems.
The comment field sometimes has values in from other fields when the comment field is empty.
