I read the manual here https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/wiki/MANUAL#making-a-human-readable-shortcut-for-a-card
But that is not, what I understand under the headline. It is just the connected folder name.
What I would like to see is the possibility to give descriptions for the cards. For example: I put some RFID-Stickers in toys and would like to see something like "yellow car" or "blue turtle" instead or additional to the RFID id in the GUI.
The new Card_Assignments.txt from #477 could get extra lines for the descriptions like

[231412138169]
cardid = 231412138169 <-- this is essentially redundant information, but in case one wants to change the "section" style...
description = Rote Plastikeule
uri = Tiergeräusche/Eule
shuffle = 0
repeat = 0
resume = 0
elapsed = 0
playstatus = stop

Also it would be helpful to create a page in the GUI, where all known IDs are listed for a better overview:
ID - description - connected folder or special function

Hi @Yordan1976
can you explain the use case where you would name a RFID with two names? Isn't the folder name human readable enough?
I could see the use case where you have a chip that is a "yellow car" - and you can just create a folder with that name. Why would that not be enough?
(not challenging your idea, just wanting to fully understand it)

The folder name is of course human readable, but not necessary a description of the card or the toy, where I've put a chip inside. Usually I have albums and therefore the folders are named after them.
