Use case: I have my collection of downloaded mp3s via vinyl codes. They are on SD card and I play in my car. I play albums not playlists. So some albums are ordered 1, 11,12, 2, 3... It's very frustrating. I read on the forum it can be done for a file by: select all the files. Open Convert>Tag-Tag …

Ok, thanks for your patience. Before downloading and giving the software a spin a final double-check: I checked on the skoda forum and this functionality regarding tags does not seem to be on people's radar so I need to rename the files and forget about tags in this case.

To get data into TITLE and TRACK use Convert>Filename-TAG Format string: %track% %title% For the folder "Ora Belli - Ore" you could use the converter also but fill ARTIST and ALBUM this time: Format string: %artist% - %album%\%dummy% or if the files have the same naming pattern as in Bicep: For…

[image] boardtc: I am confused how screenshots of the folder structure will help, You can see in the reply from @ohrenkino that the folders you have help to fill the Artist and Album fields, while the filenames have Track and Title info. Getting these pieces of data from your current files h…

Occasional visitor here. Looking through this thread I am impressed at the quality of the dialog - the support person providing clear instructions, answers questions, is patient. One might hope those characteristics are commonplace - but sadly there are a number of places where people seem to get …
