+---Topic: fixed values in tag fields started by viking_software

Hi!

I have one question. There is function for auto-ranaming, and auto-taging files. For example:

There is mp3 file:  01 - author - song.mp3, 02 - author - song.mp3, 03 - author - song.mp3,..., 20 - author - song.mp3.

When I want to set mass tag with <TrackNr> - <Artist> - <Title>.mp3, that works perfect. But, how i can add some fixed string? For example: that in all TrackNr fields stands 01/20, 02/20, 03/20, 20/20. So, how to add this "/20". There are some switches [|\], but with them i can not do nothing. Execute button is gray, and advanced mode line is red. Obviously, there is mistake in function. So, can You help me.

Thanks in advance!

Regards!

Viking

Except for the fact that slashes are not legal characters in Windows filenames, you can simply add whatever string you want to the template, like this (in advanced mode):

<TrackNr> (of 20) - <Artist> - <Title>.mp3

<TrackNr>(of20) - <Artist> - <Title>.mp3 - this does not work for tag. especially for track number field.
this is error report:
parsed out TrackNr had ellegal format for file 02-song - author.mp3, setting to 0

so, i think that soluttion is somewhere and somehow in this:
After the parsing is complete, the different multi part fields will be combined to form the final parsed out field.

The general format is <fieldname-#[prefix|suffix]>, where the different parts have the following meanings:


this is from programs help file. but, my problem is how to implement this fileldname (tracnr) with prefix (which prefix) and suffix (suffix should be /20).

can You explain me this command.
thanks!

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about auto-rename.

To do what you are asking while auto-tagging, use the following template:

<TrackNr-1[|/20]> - <Artist> - <Title>.mp3

But just so you know, in the specific situation with track number prefixes of this sort, ID3v2 tags already support this, so you can parse out the full X/Y string directly if you want to.

Still does not work. Again i have error:
parsed out TrackNr had ellegal format for file 02-song - author.mp3, setting to 00. Only difference is that now, track number field have two digits. I'm confused. I'm reading that help file, experimenting with codes, switches, but, still nothing. 8-((

it was error with file names. as result of many times renaming, somehow, there was no space between trackno and autor (track-autor, instead track - autor).
it works now. thanks.

but, i still does not get why  is there this "1" digit, and somewhere You said:
"The sequence must start with number 1", and few rows under is example:
<Artist> - Track <TrackNr-2[|]> - CD <TrackNr-1[|0]> - <Title>.mp3, with first digit "2".

but, that is abowe my needs.

that is all for now. THANKS!

The combined numeric sequence for any single field must start from 1, and contain any number of subsequent numbers. This has nothing to do with the order in which these fields occur in the template.

That is, you cannot have a template like this, starting the sequence for the track number field with 2, i.e. containing no field 1 at all:

<Artist> - Track <TrackNr-3[|]> - CD <TrackNr-2[|0]> - <Title>.mp3

These sequences will be put together in the order of the numbers when the parsing is complete, like this:

<TrackNr> = <TrackNr-1> + <TrackNr-2> + ...

hm... i'll try. but, one little part of sequences i understand now.

thanks!
