I have the MP3s saved as follows: \<Genre>\<Artist>\<Album> - <Year>\<Title>.mp3 However for many files I do not know the Album name and year so I have them saved as: \<Genre>\<Artist>\Unknown\<Title>.mp3 The problem is that the parsing rule gets upset that it doesn't find the year on the "Unknown" albums and doesn't get the title. Is there any way around this problem? Posted by: Magnus Brading on June 27 2005,10:18 Sure, you could e.g. run one initial sweep with the "unknown" rule but instead parse out the entire unknown field to the album field instead. Then run a second sweep with a filter to only process files containing a dash ("-") in the album field, and use your first template in this sweep. You can also record the entire process into a macro to have it all available at the single click of a button. end |
