Posted by: mll on Nov. 07 2002,13:13
Hi all, I'd like to know hove to achieve 2 tasks (I'm pretty sure MP3TS can do it
) :1. I have an album whose tracks are 01 02 03...13, and I'd like to change them to 01/13 02/13 ... 13/13
2. I want to replace in every track name "Chorus" for "Chœur", so for instance "Avec la garde montante Chorus/Morales/Jose" gives "Avec la garde montante Chœur/Morales/Jose". Further : is there any way to get "Avec la garde montante (Chœur/Morales/Jose)" ?? Regexps smell, uh ?
Thanks in advance,
MLL

Use the "Direct tag manipulation" tool with the following single transform (advanced mode):
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<TrackNr>/13 -----> <TrackNr>
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
Done.

If you by "track name" mean file name, you can use the "Direct rename files" tool with the following templates (yes, it will take care of those parenthesis too
):Expected format:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Custom1>Chorus<Custom2>.mp3
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
Output format:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
<Custom1>(Chorus<Custom2>).mp3
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
And finally use the filter to make it only process files that contain the word "Chorus".
Note: That template is case sensitive, so if you also have files that contains "chorus" (small first letter) you must process them in a separate sweep, so set the filter to case-sensitive too.
If you meant not the filename, but the "title" field of the tag, simply use the "substring replacements" feature of the case-fix tool to do it, with a simple "<Title> ----> <Title>" transform in the "Direct tag manipulation" tool (won't fix the parenthesis though
).
