I am using a list to add tags to files.  The list has enough information to create the path to the files, which are stored in a structure:

\SoundCollection\CD01\Track01.mp3
\SoundCollection\CD02\Track02.mp3

So the folder SoundCollection has the folders CD01,CD02,etc which have files named Track01.mp3, etc.

I want to use a file.txt in the \SoundCollection folder to rename all the files.

The text file is the format: CD01;(TrackNr);(Index);(Title);(Time);(ShortTitle)

I use a string like this:
<Target file-1[E:\!SoundFX\SoundCollection\|]>;<Target file-2[\Track|.mp3]>;<TRASH>;<Title>;<Comment-1[|:]>-<Comment-2[|]>;<V2_TIT3>

BUT it seems to not recognize the files.  I have the program starting in the \SoundCollection\ folder, or in the E:\ folder and neither seem to work.  It says too many list entries for files and aborts.

Is this something I can do or do I need to split the text file into chunks for each CD?

Please post a couple of sample rows from your input file, and I'll take a look.

Here is part of the file:

Code Sample

CD01;01;1;AUSTRALIA, AIRPORT          AUSTRALIA- INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT- DEPARTURE LOBBY, MEDIUM CROWD, BOARDING CALLS   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;AUSTRALIA, AIRPORT
CD01;02;1;AUSTRALIA, JUNGLE          AUSTRALIA- FITZROY ISLAND TROPICAL FOREST- EVENING AMBIENCE- HEAVY INSECTS, FROGS, WIND THROUGH TREES, FOREIGN;3-00;AUSTRALIA, JUNGLE
CD01;03;1;AUSTRALIA, JUNGLE          AUSTRALIA- JUNGLE FOREST, MOUNTAIN INTERIOR- EARLY MORNING AMBIENCE- BIRDS, INSECTS, GROUND MOVEMENT, FOREIGN;3-10;AUSTRALIA, JUNGLE
C
. . .
CD02;01;1;BRAZIL, MARKET          BRAZIL- OUTDOOR MARKET- HEAVY CROWD, TRAFFIC   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, MARKET
CD02;02;1;BRAZIL, MARKET          BRAZIL- BUSY MEAT MARKET- VOICES, SOME YELLING, DISTANT TRAFFIC   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, MARKET
CD02;03;1;BRAZIL, POLICE STATION          BRAZIL- POLICE STATION- CONSTANT TYPING, DISTANT VOICES, HEAVY AIR CONDITIONER HUM   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, POLICE STATION
CD02;04;1;BRAZIL, POLICE STATION          BRAZIL- POLICE STATION- CONSTANT MALE AND FEMALE VOICES, RADIO CHATTER   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, POLICE STATION
CD02;05;1;BRAZIL, RESTAURANT          BRAZIL- MEDIUM CROWD, CLOSE VOICES, DISHES   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, RESTAURANT
CD02;06;1;BRAZIL, RESTAURANT          BRAZIL- LARGE CROWD, VOICES, DISHES, LIGHT TRAFFIC   AMBIENCE, FOREIGN;3-00;BRAZIL, RESTAURANT
. . .
etc.


The directory structure is:

\SoundCollection\CD01\Track01.mp3
\SoundCollection\CD02\Track02.mp3

and Track01.mp3 etc is how the tracks are named now.

I have one text file in the SoundCollection folder which has lines as above for each of the CD/tracks.

I want to feed TS the single text file, and have it go out and add the tags to the files.  (and then I will rename in another step based on the ShortTitle (last field in the text file).

The text file is of the format:
The text file is the format: CD01;(TrackNr);(Index);(Title);(Time);(ShortTitle)

And the string that I came up with was:
<Target file-1[E:\!SoundFX\SoundCollection\|]>;<Target file-2[\Track|.mp3]>;<TRASH>;<Title>;<Comment-1[|:]>-<Comment-2[|]>;<V2_TIT3>

and I want to ultimately end up with (consistent with the examples above) the tags set for Title, V2-Title3, Comment, and then rename the files (in another step?) to be: :


\SoundCollection\CD01\01-01 - AUSTRALIA, AIRPORT.mp3
\SoundCollection\CD02\02-01 - BRAZIL, MARKET.mp3

If this doesn't make sense, ask and I'll explain as necessary.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

First of all, you should be using the field <Target file AP> (which means "Absolute Path"), and not <Target file> (which will only look in the current directory for files).

Ironically, there does also actually seem to be some kind of bug that still treats the "<Target file AP>" field as a common "<Target file>" in this particular case, and I have noted it for further investigation and fixing in a future update. Thanks for the report!
