-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Support and Bug Reports +---Topic: Filter files wilth missing tag fields?tag/rename f started by elliot Posted by: Guest on Feb. 21 2008,21:14 Hi, I'm a long time user of Tag Studio -- great tool! I have a bunch of mp3s with one or more missing tag fields. I want to generate a list of the files with missing fields, and then I will hand-edit it, adding the missing information, and then tag/rename from this list. How do I set the filter to process files only with missing artist OR missing year OR missing tracknum OR etc AND the filename ends in .mp3. (Note: the tag exists, only some of the fields are blank.) Filter assumes AND for the different fields. I can do a negate/negate, so I can do negate title is blank, negate year is blank, etc, and then click the global negate. This gives me an OR (DeMorgan) . But then I can't limit my filename extension to .mp3 because the global negate is on. Thanks!

You could then also make this into a macro if you want, which could be executed with a single click if you need to do it for several batches of files. Posted by: Guest on Feb. 26 2008,23:45 Thanks Magnus. It's not optimal, but it will work. The first pass will test for a blank year, the next pass looks for a blank tracknum AND NOT a blank year, etc. Otherwise, I'll get two entries for a track that has both year and tracknum blank. Is there a way to append, and not overwrite, a custom list file? Otherwise, I'll have to append them myself, which isn't a big deal. Thanks! --Elliot Posted by: Magnus Brading on Feb. 28 2008,14:47 Ok, I'm glad it worked out for you. Auto-appending is currently not supported, so I'm afraid you will have to do that yourself at the moment. end |
