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 rows labeled "TINT-based filing" show the migration goals, depending on the software
t.i | tool | TIN | Side# | Track# |
---|---|---|---|---|
TINT-based filing | foobar2000 | $directory(%path%,2) | %_directoryname% | %_filename% |
TINT-based filing | mp3tag | %_parent_directory% | %_directory% | %_filename% |
Tags | foobar2000 | $num(%barcode%,14) | %discnumber% | %tracknumber% |
Tags | mp3tag | ? | ? | ? |
- 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: $num(%track%,1) ($num is essential to remove leading zeros)
- 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
