-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Suggestions +---Topic: Increment Track Number started by rsadix Posted by: rsadix on Dec. 29 2008,05:52 I'm becoming less interested in knowing the disc number in my tags and directory structure for my multiple disc source mp3's. Especially for Audio Books. I would like to be able to increment the track number by an integer in certain directories. Either the tag or filename would work but tag would be preferred. Additionally sometimes I delete tracks I don't care for so the tracks I have are not always seqential. Scenario 1: I rip a 10 cd audio book. Each cd comes up in the freedb database as disc 1, disc 2 etc. creating 10 unique directories. I'm ok with that because I can use mp3ts to quickly mass set all of the album names to the same name, and I can rely on Auto rename from tags to rewrite all the file names and put them in the same directory. One directory all the files. However the track numbers and therefore filenames are not sequential from beginning to end. Scenario 2: I rip a 2 CD rap album with "skits" sprinkled through the set. I delete the skits and I no longer have sequential file numbers or track numbers But would still like to preserve their actual track numbers and combine them into a single directory. In either scenario I would like to simply be able to change: track # to track # + 9 for example. I could see this working in the case fix area under substring replacements; direct rename, mass set or with an add or sum function call in the Multi part fields. like <TrackNr;+9> or <TrackNr;9> or <TrackNr+9> Can macros accomplish this? Posted by: rsadix on Dec. 29 2008,06:06 Uhhg! I just read this link < http://www.magnusbrading.com/cgi-bin....;t=1019 > that I can work with. I now need to get familiar with multipart fields, and the TPOS field. But I would still like to be able to increment track number by an integer. It might be more crude but it would be simple and fast. Many times I use < http://www.allmusic.com/ > to locate missing elements of the tag, and they will list a multi cd set as a seqential number of tracks with the first track number of the second cd as the next number after the last track number on the previous cd instead of adding the disc number to the beginning of the track number (which is probably superiour) end |
