anxiousThis is something that I've thought about for some time, but only just figured out how it might be accomplished. Namely, how you might do if-then statements for smarter music-checking within iJournal. With the current system, if you have you system set to
__TITLE__ [__ARTIST__'s __ALBUM__], and you were listening to, say, the song I'm listening to, but you didn't have any iD3vx value for the album, iJournal would return, from iTunes, the ugly string "
Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Mix) [RobD's ]. Just by looking at that, I'm sure you can see the immediate problem. Now comes the question, how would you implement an obviously-needed if-then check system? Quite simply.
I don't know the needed code for the backend, but I imagine you could code in something like the following:
__TITLE__ [__ARTIST__{{IJIFMC}}'s __ALBUM__{{/IJIFMC}}]The "
{{IJIFMC}}" and "{{/IJIFMC}}" being for, respectively, "iJournal If-Then Music Check" and "End iJournal If-Then Music Check". Basically, iJournal would check to see if the __ALBUM__statement returned null. If it did, it wouldn't place anything between the if-then statement check tags. If it did, however, you would get a nice, cleanly formatted string like
Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Mix) [RobD's The Matrix Soundtrack]. This method could be used to enclose multiple iJournal music-replace tags, even, employing the same method but just checking to see if all values return non-null.
This is something I'd definitely like to see implemented soon...
