Hi,
I saw in the helpfile that it is possible to autotag tracknumber like put a number after the track already in the tag.
If I have an album with 20 files and it's taged 1-20, I shall put "/20" after every number. How do I do this??
I can't find the advanced input in Filtersettings anywhere.

You can do this with a "Direct tag manipulation" operation, as follows:

* Activate "Advanced mode".

* Use the gauge to select only one manipulation operation, and set it as follows:

<TrackNr>/20   -----> <TrackNr>


Done!

I need just the other way round.

I have lots of MP3s that have 1/15, 2/15, 3/15 and so on in their <tracknr> tag.

How can I get rid of this /15 part? I only want to have the tracks numbered like 01,02,03 and so on...

I was looking through the forum but I could not find an answer to this yet.

Thanks and Salut,
Markus

EDITED:
I have just found the answer in another posting of magnus:

Simply activate the option "Ignore ID3v2 track number slash trails" in the "General tagging and renaming" section of the global settings. Then perform a sweep with the "Direct tag manipulation" tool with the following single translation:

<TrackNr>  ----> <TrackNr>

That's it.

Strange.

I did exactly as described above, but the "Track" field still contains 1/15, 2/15 and so on after "Direct tag manipulation" with option

<TrackNr>  ----> <TrackNr>

In the preview window I can see that Track nr (v1) and Track nr (v2) fields are correct (i.e. numbered like 1,2,3...) but when I let "do it for real" the Track field still contains the old values 1/15 etc.

I also tried

<TrackNr_v1>  ----> <TrackNr>
or
<TrackNr_v2>  ----> <TrackNr>

Same results.

Is there any quick help?
I really would appreciate it!

Very strange, please send me a sample mp3 file for which this happens, and I will take a look at it.

I have analyzed your sample, and the problem is that the file has an old ID3v2.2 tag, which also contains an unsupported frame (PIC). This makes Mp3/Tag Studio unable to write to the file's tag until this frame is removed. This can be done from the browse tool (in the "Advanced ID3v2 info" dialog).

I have got lots of those files from an itunes user (I hate itunes!!!! ).

Is there a way to automatically delete the attached picture for all files?

Sure, simply use the "Mass clean up tags" tool, and select "More fields..." --> "Clear all additional ID3v2 fields".

Just be careful so that it does not remove anything you actually want to keep. A good advice would be to temporarily backup the mp3 files in question before attempting this.

I'm trying to remove leading zeros from the track numbers, using a macro (in fact, I'm trying to make this part of a much bigger casefix macro.)

Just sticking with the trackno macro though, when I run the direct tag manipulation, advanced mode, <tracknr><tracknr> it removes leading zeros correctly, but when I save this procedure in a macro and run the macro, it adds the zeros back in  :confused:

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Macros don't contain the global settings, so you have to make sure that the global setting for the zero-padding of tracknumbers is still set correctly when running the macro.

I did that. In fact, I had the software running with a zero pad setting and would run direct tag manipulation to make sure I had it right, then I would run my macro and the macro would again zero pad the tracknos. Can you confirm that something is wrong or is there something else I should try?

Thanks!

I just tried the exact thing you're describing, and it works perfectly for me?

It follows the current global setting for zero-padding, no matter if you use the macro or the manual operation. So, I'm not sure what might be wrong on your end?

I wish I knew what was wrong, I unchecked the zero pad, executed a direct-tag manipulate (which appropriately added padding), then rechecked and re-tested the macro scenario and it's working fine. :confused:

So if anyone else has this problem try unchecking/rechecking the zero pad option.
