Title: How can I fix case-ing of song titles?
Post by: Adam12345 on October 06, 2006, 02:37:21 am

Hi,
can I use media center to fix the case-ing of all my songs tags?


on this page: http://www.jrmediacenter.com/DevZone/DBExpressions.htm
I can see expressions I can run, the problem is that I don't know where I should use these expressions to make it affect the tags in the files...

I would like to use FixCase on all my songs... does anyone know if thats possible (I want to change the tags in the files, not only the view in media center).?


----------------------------------
FixCase(...): Changes the case of a string.

    Value: the value to change
    Mode: case mode (optional: defaults to title case)

        0: title case
        1: all words
        2: first word
        3: all uppercase
        4: all lowercase

    Examples:
    FixCase(MaKe ME PreTTy, 0)
    FixCase([File Type], 3)
---------------------------------------

before diving into expressions, try right clicking on a single file, choose library tools, then 'clean file properties'

The dialogue you see then contains case fixing options, and is, I think, pretty easy to follow. Set your choices and click OK. This fixes the tags.
If you would like to then update the filenames to match the new case of the tags, the library tool called 'rename files from properties' will allow you to do that.

Once you are happy with the results you see from working with one file, you can confidently select all your songs and run the same tasks again.

Thanks for the tip Alex. I had forgotten about that. I update the name whenever I come across it. Instead of doing all my library with "clean file properties" which would take time since it's over the network, I'd like to narrow the list. I want my names with Upper Case All Words.

How about an expression that will display only names that have at least one word with a lowercase first letter?
