Title: intelligent re tagging of files pleaseeeee help.
Post by: mooz on August 20, 2004, 09:41:28 am

hi all,

i have a relativly large collection that i need to sorrt the tags out on.

now my audio collection is set out as follows.

x:\artist albums\artist\album\<poss cd 1,2 etc>\track - title.mp3
x:\compilation albums\type\album\<poss cd 1,2 etc>\track - title.mp3

now all my media is formatted in this way and the filenames are correct. so ... is there anyway i can use this information as the basis for an import instead of id3 info, or ... is there a smart way to update the id3 based on this format and layout .....

any help would be much appreciated....

thanks

Moooz

thats great but for example ...

not all albums have a CD 1 level.   only those with more than one CD ....

is there a way to have an optional part of that update?

Just limit the rename to -filename=CD1 or whatever to do half the batch ... then change for the other half :)
