rules...
« on: August 31, 2008, 03:48:48 am »

Hello,

I am new to MJB and my English is not the best, but IŽll try :

I have update a lot of mp3-files with tuneup companion ( gracenote ).
Not bad, but in nearly 10 from 100 wrong......

The information in the file name is still o.k. but the Tags as Artist, Album and Name are wrong now.
So I decided to create Tags from filenames.
For this I used userdefined fields, as Artist_copy, Album_copy and Name_copy.

Now I need a rule to find where Artist is unlike Artist_copy and so on.

Is this possible ?
Thanks a lot.

Greetings, Bernd

You could right click on a file and select Library Tools.  There is a Find and Replace that should do what you want.

The Library Tools may not be able to do exactly what Bernd wants. If I understood the question correctly the following might help.



Create a new calculated user field as follows:

Name (for example): Is it equal
Calculated data: IsEqual([Artist], [Artist_copy], 1) IsEqual([Album], [Album_copy], 1) IsEqual([Name], [Name_copy], 1)

If you want to make it case sensitive replace all instances of 1 with 0.
 
This calculated field will always result one of the following values:

0 0 0   
0 0 1
0 1 0   
0 1 1
1 0 0
1 0 1
1 1 0
1 1 1

"0 0 0" means that none of the field pairs are equal, "0 0 1" means that only the last field pair is equal and so on.


Then create a smartlist or view scheme with a rule that checks the field values, for instance:

[Is it equal]="0"

-- will list only the files that contain 0 in the "Is it equal" field, like 0 0 0, 1 0 1, etc.
