Unfortunately I'm using this to search through a number of folders in different locations around the drive, not just my iTunes collection. Can the file filter read mp3 tags somehow? If not, how would I go about making a script to search?

I'm trying to create a simple workflow to find mp3 files and folders (sometimes I want to load a whole album folder), and then pass them to an audio player (in this case, Vox). My keyword is 'play' and my workflow is "File Filter" -> "Open File". My test mp3 file has the path ~/music/The Necks/Open/01 Open.mp3 I can get the file in Alfred with "play open" or "play necks". However, "play necks open" or "play open necks" both do not work. I guess this is because "necks" only matches the folder type, while "open" only matches the filename, and combined they matche neither. "open" is not a very specific search, and it actually brings up a lot of music files with "open" in the title. I'd like to be able to specify the artist/album/track title or whatever to narrow searches. Can I perhaps bring in mp3 tags to the search somehow? Ideally I'd like to incorporate track title, artist, and album. Thanks!
