A module for Foundry Virtual Tabletop that allows setting the title of Playlist Sounds based on the audio metadata of the underlying files.
To install and use Audio Metadata Reader, simply paste the following URL into the Install Module dialog on the Setup menu of Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

This module add new Sheets for Playlists and Playlist Sounds, that change the behavior when importing audio files, so that the name of the playlist sounds is set to the title from the metadata of the file. By default, the sheets are registered as default sheets, but it can be controlled via settings.
The Playlist Sound sheet also has a button next to the input field for the name to replace the current name with the title from metadata.
Additionally, there are also context menu entries for Playlists and Playlist Sounds to achieve the same thing.
In order to build this module, recent versions of node and npm are
required. Most likely using yarn also works but only npm is officially
supported. We recommend using the latest lts version of node. If you use nvm
to manage your node versions, you can simply run
nvm install
in the project's root directory.
You also need to install the project's dependencies. To do so, run
npm install
You can build the project by running
npm run build
Alternatively, you can run
npm run watch
to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.
In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link
the built module to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In
order to do so, first add a file called foundryconfig.json to the project root
with the following content:
{
"dataPath": "/absolute/path/to/your/FoundryVTT"
}
(if you are using Windows, make sure to use \ as a path separator instead of
/)
Then run
npm run link-package
On Windows, creating symlinks requires administrator privileges, so unfortunately you need to run the above command in an administrator terminal for it to work.
