Title: File Rename
Post by: richardap on September 04, 2011, 01:35:10 pm

I'm new to Music Center and thinking of moving from mediamonkey.  I have managed to replicate most of the features i use but i can't figure out the last one.
My car orders tracks via filename not the track number embedded.  Is it possible to rename tracks on sync but adding the track number before the filename. To add to the issue it also needs to add the "0" in front of tracks 1-9 otherwise it ends up being "1,10,11,2,3,4,5" etc

Is this possible?
Cheers
Rich

use PadNumber([Track #],3) to get three digit zero padded track numbers, although im not sure if you can rename them on sync

Thanks for that. 
I can't get it to work on sync but I think I will just change all filenames as i'm not too bothered what they are called on the disk.

Rename on sync would be very complicated, if not impossible. There is no such functions built in. The best you can do is to rename the files on disk. The Rename filenames from tags tool will do this easily for you. Just remember to rename the 1-9 files and 10 and above separately. Choose all your music files and sort on Track number to do this.

Example
All Track 1-9 selected:
0[Track#] - [Album Artist Auto] - [Name]

All Track 10-xxx selected:
[Track#] - [Album Artist Auto] - [Name]

Thanks for that, I tired out the "PadNumber([Track #],0)" that added the 0 to files 1-9 and left 10, 11, 12 etc.
