-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Support and Bug Reports +---Topic: Renaming files and moving them to directories started by dangme Posted by: dangme on Feb. 12 2003,05:21 First, I want to compliment you on MP3 Tag Studio. I've used lots of tag programs to manage my 14,000 files, and this one is definitely the best. I'm having trouble moving tagged files from C:\Music to new directories based on the Artist and Album info. I'd like them to be organized as follows: C:\Music\<artist>\<album> I've been trying to 2 hours to figure out how to do this and have been unsuccessful. I tried going in to advanced mode, under the "auto rename (from tags)" tab, and putting the following in to the "output filename format" box: <\>Music<\><Artist><\><Album><\><Artist>---<Album>---<TrackNr>---<Title>.mp3 This resulted in getting red text that wouldn't execute. I also tried: C:<\>Music<\><Artist><\><Album><\><Artist>---<Album>---<TrackNr>---<Title>.mp3 This just put a folder called C in the subdirectory the files were located in. Can you help? I'd be happy to return the favor however I can. Best, Dang Posted by: Magnus Brading on Feb. 12 2003,12:37 The following template should work: C:\Music<\><artist><\><album><\><OldFileName> This will move all the files to the directory structure you desire, without modifying any of the filenames. Note that only the first backslash is without brackets. This indicates that "absolute path mode" should be used. Except for this special case, all backslashes should always be inside brackets. If the first backslash is put inside brackets too, the normal relative path mode is used, which will result in the effects you describe above (creation of the given path under the current working directory instead). You will also find more details and examples about this if you press F1 when inside the auto rename tool, and in the help section that appears click further to the part about for this tool's advanced mode. end |
