Comment search

[PasteEater]

Hi!

I'm new to Subsonic, and the program is great. Great job!

However, I do have a feature request. I would like the ability to search by ID3 comment tags. I don't think this information is read by Subsonic, so I guess the first order of business would be to somehow get the info into Subsonic, followed by the ability to search through it.

I am setting up a music server for my company (advertising), and the ability to search through the metadata this way would be our killer feature. There's tons of useful info in our comment tags, so adding this ability would make our lives much, much better.

Thanks for your time!

The ID3 tags have been requested a lot lately. I hope this is being taken into consideration. It would really help improve the apps using their api also. iSub is awesome, but this is something it lacks in comparison to other music streaming apps. Add this feature and both iSub and Subsonic will benefit.

+1
maybe even for quasi standard tags like replay gain and last played or first played...play counter and rating tags come to mind too
aaah, theres a whole new world waiting if tags could be handled flexibly.

+1 for the Comment field being read from the ID3 tag. I'm sure this is possible just needs to be added.

In particular I'd like to see it in the API, these are the only fields returned, in JSON format.

If we could add the lyrics tag to that list as well that would be
A little pop up lyrics and comment viewer comes to mind
