This page describes how to migrate to TINT-based filing, i.e. filing based on TIN, side# and track#.
Windows
Use the software: mp3tag. mp3tag lets you read and write parts of the pathnames. They are accesible via %_something%.
- The migration goal is to have
t.i | foobar2000 | mp3tag |
---|---|---|
TIN | $directory(%path%,2) | %_parent_directory% |
Side# | %_directoryname% | %_directory% |
Track# | %_filename% | %_filename% |
- Three useful commands are
- Convert | Tag -> Filename
- Convert | Filename -> Tag
- Convert | Filename -> Filename (The third command can maybe replace the two step uses of the other two commands - not tested).
Track# - %_filename%
- process
- A) If you have the tracknumber in the tag fields you can rename the file to "tracknumber.fileextension".
- Convert | Tag -> Filename
- format string: %track%, or if you want to remove leading zeros: "$num(%track%,1)"
- B) If you don't have the tracknumber in the tags but the filename starts with the number then you can put it in the tracknumber tag.
- Convert | Filename -> Tag
- Format string something like "%track% - %dummy%" or "%track%_%dummy%" or "%track%_-_%dummy%".
- go to A)
- Example
- 05_-_la_punalada.flac
- Convert | Filename -> Tag, format string %track%_-_%dummy%
- now the track number field contains "05"
- Convert | Tag -> Filename, format string $num(%track%,1)
- now the file is named 5.flac
Side# - %_directory%
- introduce the side folder. Very often it will be a folder named "1"
- if all tracks are on side 1 use: Convert | Tag -> Filename , format string: %_directory%\1\%track%
- if before conversion , after conversion
- Example
- Calo_Al_compas_del_corazon\5.flac
- %_directory% = albumname folder name
- if all tracks are on side 1 use: Convert | Tag -> Filename , format string: %_directory%\1\%track%
- you get Calo_Al_compas_del_corazon\1\5.flac
- %_directory% = Side#, %_parent_directory% = albumname folder name
TIN - %_parent_directory%
todo
- TIN conversions....
- sometext_[<TIN|EAN|UPC>]/
- <TIN|EAN|UPC>_sometext/
When there are other than audio files (e.g. a "cover.jpg") in the folders and you want to keep them there, (assume barcode is in field "barcode") you can do
- Convert Tag->Filename %_parent_directory%\%_directory%\%barcode%\%_filename%
- so the new folders are created inside the old ones
- manually copy the non-audio files into the barcoded folder
