You can also use the the File Tagger if you need to tag a lot of files. Basically, this is the Extra PFL player with an Explorer-style tree.
Double-click a file in the tree to load it, then set your cue points and click Save Metadata to write the MMD file.

If you want bulk set item properties like EndType and BackgroundColour - take a look at this script:
[code]// Set Item Attributes
// Remove the comments to perform a task
// by Charlie Davy
// Drag all common items into a Playlist and run this script
// Enable CueStart and FadeOut options for this to top and tail your audio
// which will ensure smooth automation overlaps
var
i: integer;
begin
for i := 0 to CurrentPlaylist.GetCount - 1 do
// If EndType is empty, then run SetEndType
// Comment this line out to set EndTypes of all items in the Playlist
if CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetEndType = ‘’ then
begin
// Set End Type to temporary - useful to indicate an automatically generated CueOut
CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetEndType(‘t’);
// Main Section
// Set Playlist Icon - adjust your icon locations to suit
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Advert.ico’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Control.ico’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Ident.ico’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Pre Rec.ico’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Promo.ico’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Voicetrack.ico’);
CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetPicture.LoadFromFile(‘C:\mAirList\icons\Icon - Song.ico’);
// If you want to colour an item, use this line:
CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColored(true);
// Suggested Colours:
// Adverts and Promos
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($80FF80);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetArtist(‘Voicetrack’);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetComment(‘This item can be overlayed with a song intro.’);
// Beds
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($FFFF00);
// Jingles
CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($00FFFF);
// Pre Rec
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($9EE0D3);
// VoiceTracks
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($D3E09E);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SetColor($FF80FF);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetCuePosition(ptFadeOut).SetValue(0);
//CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).GetCuePosition(ptCueOut).SetValue(0);
// Save MMD Data File
CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i).SaveMMD;
end;

Hi Charlie. Thanks for your ongoing help.
As you can see i’m not brilliant with computer software!!! I have followed your instructions above regarding going into the config file. I went down to the ‘file import’ section of the file I dould not see a section to designate a file for the MMD files. However above it I did see an option under the ‘options’ section which has a line called ‘MMD folder’. On this line I typed the destination of the folder for the MMD files I had created on my hard drive. However when I save MMD files now they still default to the file where the original MP3 file is.
BTW under the ‘enable features’, ‘the save to MMD’ is on.
I have tried to cut and paste, and copy the mmd files it saves in the directory with the MP3 in it, but this doesn’t work, in the sense that when you reload the MP3 after the MMD file has been copied then it appears as if no amendments have been made.
Hmm… Please upload your mairlist.ini file so I can look at it, make any necessary changes and post back.
OK, nothing immediately obvious with your config - but I have made a couple of changes:
With these settings you can now automate without have to edit in/out points and mAirList will read them when you load the playlist or drag items from the Browser.
The only problem I can think of is that the folder C:\Program Files\mAirList\MMD Folder doesn’t exist on your hard-drive… Providing it does, and you click “Save MMD” on the PFL window/editor when editing cue points it will save and recall it later on.
Keep an eye on the Scripts forum as I’ll update my “bulk item attributes” post with a simple walk-through which will hopefully assist you with getting those MMD and Cue Points sorted

Looks like you’ve fixed it. Thank you Charlie.
Love the funky colour scheme to the PFL section too!
Quick One Charlie,
Could you send me over the icons you’ve used in your screenie. They look mint! webbo04@gmail.com Please.
