Average bitrate in folder name Options

[okram]

Hi, I'm looking for the solution to make a mass change of my folder names to include also a bitrate information. Something like this:

if VBR \Dark Side of the Moon [VBR 234]\01 - Breathe
else \Dark Side of the Moon [320]\01 - Breathe

The following format string does not work
\%artist%\$if("%_vbr%","VBR","%_bitrate%")\$num(%track%,2) - %title%

What do I do wrong? Thanks!

[drbeachboy]

Hopefully, this expression should work:

%artist%\%album% '['$if2(%_vbr%,) %_bitrate%']'\$num(%track%,2) - %title%

You can also use this one if you really don't want "CBR" in your folder names.

%artist%\%album% '['[$if2($replace(%_vbr%,CBR),) ]%bitrate%']'\$num(%track%,2) - %title%

Sorry but I can't figure it out. It returns something like this (for VBR and CBR):

"\ACDC\The Very Best\01 - Hard As Rock.mp3" ->
"\ACDC\The Very Best [ ]\01 - Hard As Rock .mp3"

[drbeachboy]

What version of LAME are you using? Older versions don't show codec profile information. Neither do some other mp3 encoders. Most of my mp3's are LAME 3.97 through 3.98.2 and the codec profile info is in there, and the tagz info that I gave you yesterday worked fine with those files encoded with the newer versions.

Try this one:

\%artist%\%album% '['[$replace(%_vbr%,CBR,)] %_bitrate%']'\$num(%track%,2) - %title%

The Formatstring

%TITLE%[ '['$if($eql(%_vbr%,'VBR'),'VBR '%_bitrate%,%_bitrate%)']']

results to e. g.
for CBR: Palomino [128]
for VBR: Palomino [VBR 233]

... or just even better (based on drbeachboy's example from above)

[%TITLE%' ']['['[$replace(%_vbr%' ','CBR ',%DUMMY%)]%_bitrate%']']

Hi, thanks! Both last two expressions work, but in case of VBR they create for each file with different bitrate a new folder, so several folders with one file. I thought %_bitrate% should actually show album average bitrate.

Sorry if I miss something. :-)

Mp3tag offers %_vbr% and %_bitrate% system variables on a per file basis.

So it makes no sense to use these values when renaming folders.

I read that %_bitrate% also returns the average bitrate of a VBR file in this old thread:

Is this still true ?

Can you please confirm that the quoted post was wrong?

It returns the variable bitrate found in a VBRI header.

[garbanzo]

so... is average bitrate possible for VBR albums?

i managed to rename CBR fine. but for now, i just set all VBR albums to [VBR].

would love to add average bitrate, but nothing seems to work.

if you have any hints, please let me know!

thanks

though this thread is a bit old, I just add one expression based on the ones posted above (thanks a lot to everyone here as I have no idea how to write this sort of thing!! )

if like me you don't want to have your folder name modified (cuz you have other info) and just want the bitrate added to it

e.g:
Artist - Album - year [Japanese Edition] (remastered 20XX)

becomes

Artist - Album - year [Japanese Edition] (remastered 20XX) [320]

choose: Format value

field: _directory
format string: %_directory% '['$if($eql(%_vbr%,'VBR'),VBR %_bitrate%,%_bitrate%)']'

it worked for me

[DetlevD]

though this thread is a bit old ...
field: _directory
format string: %_directory% '['$if($eql(%_vbr%,'VBR'),VBR %_bitrate%,%_bitrate%)']'
... it worked for me

Hm, ... it worked for you, but how?

I want to repeat that ...
