-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Suggestions +---Topic: Three suggestions/requests started by TheHYPO Posted by: TheHYPO on Nov. 20 2013,05:53 The first is probably not that difficult to impliment, but I often use mp3 tagger merely as a convenient bulk direct-renamer for various (non mp3) files since it can be programmed to be dynamic and move elements around by declalring them as different mp3 tags. However, as far as I can tell, the program can't apply to folders. I'd like to see a checkbox switch to include/exclude folders in the direct renaming tab. The second is probably something that would require a significant reprogram, so I'm guessing it's not going to happen, but I'd love to see this software apply to other audio file types, such as m4a, ogg, I saw flac mentioned in another thread... I'm stuck using lesser softwares when I need to tag m4as, sadly. Finally I'll add a vote for a field for "total tracks" which I saw in another thread. Someone posted "not a lot of people would use it", but it's sort of the default track no. format for softwares llike iTunes, so I would think there is plenty of usage of it. Posted by: calberga on Nov. 21 2013,01:43 I can't help you with 2 or 3, but (if I understand the question) "folders", i.e. directories are easy in Direct Rename. For example: Expected file name: <Custom1><\><Custom2> - <Custom3>.mp3 Ouput file name: <Custom 3><\><Custom1><\><Custom2>.mp3 will rename all a file Blues\St. Louis - John Doe.mp3 to John Doe\Blues\St. Louis.mp3 The only complicated thing is in which directory will the new structure be put. Generally it winds up in the directory that "Blues\St. Louis - John Doe.mp3" is in, which is usually not what you want. However, you can always specify a absolute name for the new structure, such as: D:\My Music<\><Custom 3><\><Custom1><\><Custom2>.mp3 If there IS a directory D:\My Music that is where the new structure will go, if not D:\My Music will be created. If (as I do) you have a rather complicated and deep directory structure I find sending the new directory structure with the renamed files into something like "D:\temp<\>..." (where ... represents an eplipsis), and then drag and droping the result to the place I want it to be. You just have to get used to (if you are not already) thinking in terms of a tree-structured file system, which is what Windows gives you. end |
