Let's say I have 100 tracks all in the same folder & I want to divide them up into increments of 10 so that tracks 1-10 are assigned to disc 1 of 10... tracks 11-20 are assigned to disc 2 of 10, etc... Is there a way to use the auto-numbering wizard ALL in a one single function to perform this? I do this all the time disc-by-disc but it can be time consuming when you're dealing with thousands of tracks. Is there an 'increment' function of some sort that would allow this?
The wizard uses a change of folder as trigger to increment the disc-number or to reset the track counter.
If you want to split a selection of tracks in 10s then an actions of the type "Format value" may help
To update TRACK:
Format string: $num($mod(%_counter%,10),3)
To update DISCNUMBER:
Format string: $num($add($div(%_counter%,10),1),3)
I am not quite sure if %_counter% is incremented each time you use it or on a per-track basis. So it could be that you have to run the action separately and not in an action group.
Thanks ohrenkino. I was trying to avoid having to create an action because I'd likely have to edit the action continuously depending on the project. If I have to edit the action, for me, it's simpler to just do it disc-by-disc using the wizard. But I do GREATLY appreciate the advice.
