'Rename, Move & Copy Files' function to change the Disc # from CD01 to 01

(1/2) > >>

DiedeVDL:
Hi I'm new here, but have been using JRiver Media Center since version 15.

I'm currently using MC22 and have imported files from my NAS.

‪I've used the 'Fill Properties From Filename' function in 'Library Tools' to get the Tags right with following path: [Artist] \ [Year] - [Album] \ [Disc #] \ [Track #] - [Name]

For multi-CD albums I have an issue as my file structure is named CD01, CD02, ... and MC22 expects (I presume) a value 01, 02, ... so I get 'Unknown Disc #'

example: Z:\10cc\1977 - Live & Let Live\CD01\01 - The Second Sitting For The Last Supper.flac

So I was thinking of using the 'Rename, Move & Copy Files' function to change CD01 to 01, CD02 to 02 etc, but I don't really know how to do this.

Any help would be welcome, thanks!

BR,
Diede

You may be able to fill in the disc # on these albums with a custom rule something like:

\CD[Disc #]\

Play around with it and you can probably make it work.

--- Code: ---[album artist (auto)]\[album]-if(isequal([year],[date (release)]),[year],RM-[date (release)]-[year])-[file type]-[album format]\if(isempty([disc #]),disc [disc #],)
--- End code ---

just a copypasta from one of my RMC expressions, that only enters a disc number if it exists (i leave disc empty if there is only one).  maybe it will give you some ideas

Ferday,

Diede doesn't have any metadata for [Disc #] for his multi disc albums.  He's trying to harvest it from his file names and is thinking that RM&C might be able to rename his files/directories.   But since he doesn't have the metadata, I don't think it can work.  Which is why I suggested a rule for fill properties from filename.

Brian.

ferday:
Indeed!  My bad
