But is there any way to go in the other direction? That could prove difficult...
It would work after the files are gathered to a playlist.
(A search for only a space character in the Artist field might help a bit:
[Artist]=" " )
Let's try "John Doe"
1. Rename Files From Properties:
[Artist] => filename:
John Doe2. Fill Properties From Filename:
[Custom field 1] [Custom field 2] => Custom field 1:
John Custom field 2:
Doe3. Rename Files From Properties:
[Custom field 2], [Custom field 1] => filename:
Doe, John4. Fill Properties From Filename:
[Artist] => artist:
Doe, JohnIn my previous reply I forgot to add that usually some additional fields are needed in the templates for avoiding duplicate names (otherwise MC would add the (1), (2), (3), etc parts to the filenames).
For example,
1. Rename Files From Properties:
[Artist]###[Album]###[Track #]###[Name]=> filename:
John Doe###Best of John Doe###11###Ode to Jane2. Fill Properties From Filename:
[Custom field 1] [Custom field 2]###[Album]###[Track #]###[Name]=> Custom field 1:
John Custom field 2:
Doe Album:
Best of John Doe Track #:
11 Name:
Ode to Jane### is an example of a character combination that is unlikely to be a part of any tag or filename.
