Annotate tracks in a playlist

[iSerganov]

Hey community!

I found out that Liquidsoap can read annotations for each track in a playlist and use them as source for metadata:

The annotate protocol

The metadata are read from files, so the most simple way is to properly tag the files. However, if it not possible to modify the files for some reason, the annotate protocol can be used in playlists to insert and modify some metadata. For instance, in the playlist

annotate:title="Title 1",artist="Artist 1":music1.mp3
annotate:title="Title 2",artist="Artist 2":music2.mp3

the title metadata for file music1.mp3 will be overridden and changed to ``Title 1’’ (and similarly for the artist).

Could you advise how the .pls playlist should look like so that Liquidsoap can read track's metadata from it.

E.g. I have the following playlist:

[playlist]
File1=https://track4.mp3
Title1=Title 4
Length1=396

File2=https://track5.mp3
Title2=Title 5
Length2=303

File3=https://track1.mp3
Title3=Title 1
Length3=256

File4=https://track2.mp3
Title4=Title 2
Length4=191

File5=https://track3.mp3
Title5=Title 3
Length5=277

Where exactly should annotations go? All at once in the beginning of file? Or above corresponding track?

Thank you in advance.

Doesn't this work?

[playlist]
File1=annotate:title="Title 1",artist="Artist 1":https://track3.mp3
