On Windows systems mp3tag can help you to migrate to TINT-based filing, i.e. filing based on TIN, side# and track#.

Three useful commands are

  • Convert | Tag -> Filename
  • Convert | Filename -> Tag
  • Convert | Filename -> Filename

If you have the tracknumber in the tag fields you can rename the file to only this tracknumber + fileextension. If you don't have it in the tags but the filename starts with the number then you can put it in the tracknumber tag and from there rename your files. (The third command can probably do this in one run - not tested).

Todo:

  • get rid of leading zeros in filenames
    • Often filenames contain leading zeros, e.g. "05_-_la_punalada.flac". With the above one can convert to "05.flac". But how to get "5.flac" ?
  • 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/
