Filling in track #'s for 2cd album (feature request)
« on: March 24, 2008, 09:08:45 pm »

When filling in track #'s or renaming files from properties of 2cd albums or box set CD's, it would be nice if MC would read the data in the disc # field and use that disc # data when renaming the track #.
For instance if their is any number from say 1-4 in the disc # field, MC would rename the file as either
1-01 - [Artist] - [Name]
1-02 - [Artist] - [Name]
2-01 - [Artist] - [Name]
2-02 - [Artist] - [Name]
or
101 - [Artist] - [Name]
102 - [Artist] - [Name]
201 - [Artist] - [Name]
202 - [Artist] - [Name]
and so on

It's much easier to lasso 10-15 tracks and mark them as disc #1, 2 or 3 rather then manually typing 101, 102, 103, etc.

Have you tried

[Disc #]-[track #] - [Artist] - [Name]

in Rename Files from properties?


If you want MC to automatically recognise if the disc # field is set, and name accordingly, try the following expression:

If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), [track #] - [Artist] - [Name], [Disc #]-[track #] - [Artist] - [Name]), [Disc]-[track #]. [Artist] - [Name])

Insomnia Is Wonderful

If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), [track #] - [Artist] - [Name], [Disc #]-[track #] - [Artist] - [Name]), [Disc]-[track #]. [Artist] - [Name])

Should That Be

If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), [track #] - [Artist] - [Name], [Disc #]-[track #] - [Artist] - [Name]), [Disc #]-[track #]. [Artist] - [Name])

It still looks odd. This is what I use:

Directories:
[Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]\
Filename:
If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), [track #] - [Name], CD[Disc #] - [track #] - [Name])

I get:
...\Queen\A Night At The Opera\11 - Bohemian Rhapsody
or
...\Queen\Live At Wembley '86\CD2 - 07 - Bohemian Rhapsody

What would like to have ist the same feature as in mp3tag: start new index each folder.
So that I could select more Albums and number them all in one go having each new folder (i.e. Album) starting from 1.

... only an issue when importing lots of new songs ...

thanks for your responses.  I decided to go with rename files from properties using [Disc #][track #] - [Artist] - [Name], which renames files as
101 - [Artist] - [Name]
