<You should have done a library back up. Often.
Yep, I should've backed up the library. I just didn't expect a WD raptor HD to die after five months. They have a 5 year warranty on them.
<You should have done only "fill properties from <filenames", if the files were in folders sorted <Artist/album/Song title. There are options for <directories and filenames.
The "fill properties from file name" partially fixed about half of the files. The parameters were set Artist/Album /Title. But when I tried the other library tool ( I thought it was "rename files from properties" ) it started moving the files over to my system drive which at 36 gigs filled up fast and aborted.
<You should have done that with one test file first.
Yep I shoulda done a test file. I prone to stupidity when I'm aggravated.
<Do you have anything left from your <previous "Artist/album/Song title" sorting?
<There may be a way to fix the situation.
I scrambled about 25 gigs the rest is still intact. What I mean by scrambled is it took the song titles out of the folders and named them unknown artist - unknown album - 01- (song Title).
<Tags are currently not supported with wave files. You <could consider APE format. It is smaller, lossless and <it supports tags. APE files can be converted to wave if <needed.
I didn't realize wave didn't support tags. My music was in ape format on my old computer but when that one died I decided to use wave because it rips twice as fast as ape. At a buck a gig space is not a big deal. However I think I will go back to ape. The quality is the same just a little more cpu usage.
