Import Discnumber

(1/3) > >>

ruwi:
Importing the metadata of my CDs and my FLAC files worked fine with MC 31 with one exception. I numbered my CDs or FLAC files as follows: e.g. C507 for CD; F124 for an album I downloaded from Amazon Music. If I change the metadata C507 in the file to 507, MC 31 reads it in without any problems with the help of the library field "Disc #". However, this field only accepts integers.
I have created a new library field and selected String as the data format. As keywords, I have disc=; disk=; di=. I didn't achieve any success. The requested data was not imported. Even if I create a new field that is structured in the same way as the library field "Disc #", this field, unlike the original field, does not even read the changed metadata like 507.
Is there a way to set MC 31 so that my – as shown above – numbered disc information can also imported.
Thank you for your help

Everything from the file/folder group can be parsed if it is structured in some systematic way.
You could post some example complete filepath to give a better undrestanding of your filenaming system and also what do you wan to achieve with the tag.

From your post I get the idea that you have numbered all your cd's and downloaded albums. Disc # is not meant to hold that kind of data but it contains disc number of the multi disc album so If my guess was correct you'd anyway would need new field(s) to hold your cd number data.

My operating system is Windows 10. All my CDs are numbered, e.g. C001 by J.J. Cale to C901 by Titanic. Double CDs are named like this: C582A and C582B. Albums that I have via download are named like this: F001; F002, etc. What would the field have to be like to bring this data to JRiver Media and be able to display it in a column. I would be grateful, if you could show me the structure of such a field, since the disc numbers contain letters and numbers. The Music-Bee program had no problems reading these disc numbers. Because of the better sound, I switched to JRiver.

If you could give that example of COMPLETE file path for one file you have like "c:\music\Beatles\Help!\01 - Beatles - Help!.mp3" From that we can try to make an import rule or template for read tags from filename tool. you can copy that to here from for example [filename] field

Here is an example of a complete file path: "E:\Music_KANN\B\Beatles\05_Help_2009\02-The Night Before.flac"
