Re: SynthFont2 wish list

Here is another DEEP wish... The filenames in midifiles on the net, are often from the time before LONG filenames could be used, so the filenames are often cryptic.. BUT, the real names of the midifile songs, ARE embedded somewhere in the file. The download software I use, IDM, are able to read this information, called Description, and list it in the downloaded file, as the screenshot shows.. I have contacted the support of IDM, asked if there was any way to take a copy of this list, but no.. I have also scanned the net for software that can extract this information, but not yet found any. Many programs can extract ALL info from a midifile, but I want ONLY the SONGNAME, so I can copy and paste that to the filename...
SO, what do I wish for? YES, you guessed it! That WHEN batch converting midi songs to audio, SF READS the description, like IDM does, and REPLACE the filename with THAT.. BANG, no more a LOT of work to manually change this song by song... AND, THAT would make SF even MORE unique and FANTASTIC for midifile batch conversions... I could even happily PAY MORE for a software like SF, IF stuff like this could be done...
