-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Support and Bug Reports +---Topic: THow does MP3 Tag Studio handle dupes started by mharvey5 Posted by: mharvey5 on April 15 2005,10:39 I was wondering how the software handles it when it gets a duplicate MP3 with the same information other than perhaps one is 128K rip and the other might be a 192K rip or something like that. Also, when I run other software that might fix some error in Artist and Album info, can I rerun without getting other problems with the changes in artist, album and all the info that it keeps in the MP3 filename. I'm impressed so far, but still have alot of learning to fully use the fuctions of this software. Tonight I used it with the previous assistance I'd gotten here to sort thousands of MP3's in two drive partitions sorting out all approx 150 Megs of MP3s I have collected. Posted by: Magnus Brading on April 15 2005,10:48 Which tool are you referring to regarding this duplicate question, and what operation are you performing? About the second question, as long as you base you operations on the fixed artist/title everything will be fine. If you e.g. import data from a filename with a non-fixed title in it, it might of course overwrite the contents of some tag field with this data from the filename if you tell it too though. Posted by: Mike Harvey on April 16 2005,06:21 I was speaking on the file rename and move operations. I often download duplicate filenames with the same artist and song title, but they might be either ripped at a different bit rate or else a different recording from a seperate album (live vs studio, etc). Just wondering what it will do when it finds one of these. IE Artists Song Journey We believe 128K rip from Fronter Album Journey We believe 256K rip from Live album What will it do if the album info is not in the files when I try sorting like I had previously asked about? Thanks Posted by: Magnus Brading on April 18 2005,11:51 If you generate names that are identical and are written to the same folder on your harddisk, they will get numbers appended to the filename, like "some_name.mp3", "some_name_#2.mp3", "some_name_#3.mp3", ... About the "missing info" question, I'm afraid I still don't understand the question completely. In what way are you trying to "sort" the files? Please be more specific about the exact operation you want to perform, and what your question related to it is, and I will do my best to answer. end |
