+---Topic: renaming directories based on tags and info started by alkimiya

Hello!

I like this program very much and it has helped me a lot with organising my mp3 collection.

Yesterday I had those "aha moments" when I found the <Bitrate> <Length> and <TRASH> tags for tagging/renaming. I'm currently in the process of renaming all directories to reflect their contents in the format <Artist>\<Year> - <Bitrate> - <Title> - <Length>\<TrackNr> - <Bitrate> - <Artist> - <Length> - <Title>.mp3, where <Bitrate> for directory is for directories where all mp3s are the same and <Length> the total length of the mp3s in the directory. This is a bit tedious though, I open the directory in winamp to check the total length and rename it manually.

I would like to see an option to rename current directory based on it's contents (or manually for that matter) from mp3 tag studio.

Is this a plausible feature?

Thanks.

oh, I forgot.. when tagging directory with bitrate and VBR, compute a medium value for the <Bitrate> value

The reason that such "directory summary info" features are not implemented is that the processing model of Mp3/Tag Studio is file based and not directory based, but it might be included in a future version anyway.
