First, kudos. I've tested ~20 mp3 tag editors and this one seems the best yet.
However, I haven't been able to figure how to make the program do exactly what I need for audio books.
I use CDex for ripping and to use a specify example, I ripped "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" by Margaret Craven from 3 CDs. I create a directory structure as: Craven, Margaret I Heard the Owl Call My Name - 1973 I Heard the Owl Call My Name - Disc 1 I Heard the Owl Call My Name - Disc 2 I Heard the Owl Call My Name - Disc 3
and by default for each CD the files are named: AudioTrack 01.mp3, AudioTrack 02.mp3, AudioTrack 03.mp3 and so on. For each disk the file name increment starts over at 01. The MP3 ID Tag Title also has the same name.
What I'd like to do is rename file names, the title tag and the track tag so that: Disc 1 has names Trk-01, Trk-02, Trk-03 .... Trk-nn Disc 2 has names Trk-nn+1, Trk-nn+2, Trk-nn+3 .... Trk-oo Disc 2 has names Trk-oo+1, Trk-oo+2, Trk-oo+3 .... Trk-pp ... And so on...
Many audio books that I encode are unabridged and usually 10-15 disks long. Having unique titles and track numbers would really help keep my place when looking thru ~160 different tracks for the spot that I left off.
So far, what I've been able to figure out is: 1) use another tool to rename the file in the Trk_01.mp3 form 2) use "Tag/Rename From List" to set the track number 3) use "Direct Tag Manipulation" to set the title with the track number 4) Use "Mass Set Tags/Flags" to prepend Trk_ to the title 5) repeat for each disk, say 15 times 6) repeat for each book, say 50 times 7) there has got to be an easier way....
Thanks, Jim
