Good Morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR...
I would like to add The tracking number to filename.
How can it be done???
Thanks
Thanks.
I hope that you have filled the usual tags like artist and title.
Then, to rename files, use the converter "Tag - Filename" (menu convert) and enter a mask e.g. like this:
%track% - %artist% _ %title%
(this assumes that the tags for artist and title are not empty).
If you want to get leading zeros for the track number then use a mask like this:
$num(%track%,2) - %artist% _ %title%
Have a look at the preview function that gives you an impression of the converted filename.
Also please not the arrow button on the right in that dialog that opens a list of available tags to be added to the mask.
have fun.
Hi, also just want to add number before the track having used this code with the tag to tag converter:
%TRACK%
$num(%track%,2) %title%
And the preview shows the correct coding but after pressing ok nothing has been changed. What is wrong there?
The function Convert>Tag-Tag
modifies the contents of a tag field or another property like _FILENAME.
You would have to choose the correct converter - I would choose Convert>Tag-Filename is the best to rename files.
If you insist on Convert>Tag-Tag then you would have to use _FILENAME as field without the %. The syntax %track% for field is invalid.
Thanks, but Convert Tag--Filename does not work, because I want to keep the filename and the tagname. But before the filename should be a prefix with the track number like:
OLD:
track1
track2
track3
and NEW renamed as
01 track1
02 track2
03 track3
Thus I need the tag-tag function. But even replacing track and title with _filename in my code above does not bring the result. Could you give me the exact code for the first and the 2nd field for the tag-tag converter, please. Thanks.
If you insist on Convert>Tag-Tag then still use as
field: _FILENAME
Format string: $num(%track%,2) %_filename%
Perfect. Now it works. Thanks!
