Hello!
I've come with a (hopefully not so much) difficult question. I've got a huge sound library (namely - FSD50K by FreeSound), that unfortunately has it's samples labelled only with numbers (137.wav etc..), and the corresponding metadata for each sample (proper sound categories and such) is stored in .csv/.json files. Is the TX16Wx (or other sampler if You know any) capable of mapping it somehow to display a proper name in the Sampler, to make a use of this soundbank at all?
I know there is a way to automatically rename massive amount of files with PowerShell, but I'm in no way proficient with doing those things :(

Thanks for any kind of help in this!

No, TX does not do mapping via external means. Especially not via what is a very specific and non-standard one. I have no idea why freesound choose to package things in such an inconvenient way.
Given that this is such a corner case, I would really suggest looking into shell-script-sorting/renaming, or some renaming tool if there exists one that can read the aforementioned file.
