Title: Timestamps in comments/lyrics as hyperlinks to jump to that position
Post by: telequillo on July 09, 2021, 16:34:47
Hi everyone, here is my suggestion for the wonderful AIMP.

This is probably a functionality that not everybody needs, but also not very intrusive, I think it could be an interesting extra... let me know what you think!

I many times have long tracks with many songs in a single track. For example I love videogame music and I downloaded from Youtube many long music track, each of them with many songs. I also have (from the Youtube video description) the list of songs with their timestamp. I usually insert that in the "Lyrics" field or "Comment" tag of the file, as a reference.
You can see the image/attachment as an example. What I would love is that those timestamp (they always have the same format hh:mm:ss) would be clickable, so just clicking on them you jump to that song. I know we also have in Aimp 5 the option of adding chapters for a long track, but this is great when you don't want to split the track in the playlist and when you already have the list of timestamps available!

In this case it was already available in Youtube (not generated by Youtube, just a user posted it). If you go to this link and look at the comment that is at the top, you will see the tracklist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voTq6aOcJFo
I downloaded the video as audio only and then copy the content of that comment and inserted it as Lyrics for the audio file (i could also insert it as "comment" tag for the file).
This is very common in similar Youtube videos, when there are many tracks in a single video. Another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIZAQm6meO8 (in this case the tracklist is in the description of the video.
The format is almost always hh:mm:ss, but sometimes is h:mm:ss and sometimes only mm:ss

(if this feature is implemented, then I think we could also insert them manually by editing the Lyrics field, or comment tag of the file). Thanks for your interest!
