Summary0021539: Add Energy metadata into Track properties Details
DescriptionBPM, Initial Key and Energy are three main aspects of DJ picking the next track.

It could be very useful to add them to Details Tab in that exact order as many apps support it that way.

I even think that there is space to all three be in line as Energy is Single numerical value.

But Energy as tag does not exist in any basic formats. So standard way of storing would be to rename any Custom tag and save it there. I think it has such a narrow use that it's not a good idea to enlarge the already very large Details tab.

Re 0021539:0078464: Even Energy is is not standard fields it is commonly used in Serato, Traktor, Virtual DJ, Cross DJ, Mixed in Key, DENON, REKORDBOX, Ableton, DJ.Studio, Pioneer ...

There is Standardized Extended Tag that Is used in those app, currently Mixed in Key can use Grouping for Energy as Workaround.

Supplied Pics of Settings, Sample file Uploaded to FTP

Initial key + BPM takes too much space and Energy can be easily put in same line.

NOTE: Beside that it is used by DJs as Must, natively supporting Energy in tags and as Auto Playlists criteria can easily be used to improve MM Auto DJ by 1000%

Peke: so could you collect also other formats, like M4A, FLAC, OGG, WMA and WAV? So we would save it in the same field they use and not to some different.

I uploaded FLAC, M4A, MP3.

Mixed in Key 8 (bit outdated) do not support OGG and WMA and Do not Write any tags in WAV, AIFF files.

I noticed that in FLAC MM Detect Extended tags for SERATO, CUEPONTS and ENERGY (Hash), but do not for MP3 and M4A.

FLAC = ALL CAPCASE
M4A = all lowcase
MP3 = Mixed Case
