This page describes how to migrate to TINT-based filing, i.e. filing based on TIN, side# and track#.
Windows
Recommended software: mp3tag.
filename
- Three useful commands are
- Convert | Tag -> Filename
- Convert | Filename -> Tag
- Convert | Filename -> Filename (The third command can maybe replece the two step uses of the other two commands - not tested).
- 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
folder structure
Todo:
- introduce the side folder (very often will be only one folder named "1")
- %_directory% should be the side number. %_parent_directory% the TIN.
- if all tracks are on side 1 use: Convert | Tag -> Filename , format string: %_directory%\1\%track%
- if before conversion %_directory% = albumname folder name, after conversion %_directory% = Side#, %_parent_directory% = albumname folder name
- TIN conversions....
- sometext_[<TIN|EAN|UPC>]/
- <TIN|EAN|UPC>_sometext/
