I have about 31 or so CD's completely filled with MP3's (completely as in too full for multisession / the discs are read-only), and it would be nice if foobar's database could distinguish between them somehow in its database. I asked for a %__volumelabel% feature during the beta phase of 0.6, but I was basically shot down because a number of people called it a 'useless feature' and why don't I just get the volume label based on the filepath. I tried to explain that this was not going to work, because the volumes MP3Disc_01 and MP3Disc_02 both contain files in the root directory of the cd drive when the discs are inserted, so the paths are identical except for the name..

It was also suggested that I tag the files with a volumelabel field of my own devising, but I don't like this idea, because I know how much other people's (their-computer-specific) custom tag fields are to me :P

So, is there any way to get foobar to tell me which CD a file is on when I, say, search the database with the Metasearch plugin? I suppose I could apply a custom field to the MP3's when they're already on the disc (thus causing foobar to write it to its database with the file info, but of course not to the file cuz it's read-only), but this seems kind of a tedious solution.. I'm not exactly enthralled by the idea of having foobar make a few thousand invalid attempts to update read-only files :P

I take back to life this thread hoping someone can help me

Having some mp3 CDs in my collection, I needed a catalogue program for all of them.
I tried many.. latest jajuk.
Now I've found out the great potential&customization of foobar2000 and I'm amazed!

My question is:
is there a possibility to IDENTIFY the CD_Label instead of only PATH when I perform a search in my mp3 Database?

I think this function (if doesn't actually exist) it's essential when you have a database that is on Discs or any other medium else than your hard disk.

Thanks in advance.. hoping in a positive answer.
