I have my whole music library correctly tagged the way I wanted songs, artists, genres etc. I plan on converting the title and artist to filename BUT I was hoping to first copy whatever is in the filename now...to something I don't use like ALBUM ARTIST. Because I want to eventually go back and find some of the remixers names in the filename. But I want my filenames to be clean NOW, and then I will work on going through the album artist to pull out the remixers...if that makes sense?
Basically im looking to do FILENAME - ALBUM ARTIST
This is possible, use the converter for Filename->Tag and choose which field you want to use.
But rather than overwrite this into a standard field, why not use a user-defined field that won’t show up in any regular players in the meantime. You can choose some name like Old_Filename and still use this later in mp3tag.
Ok I will give that a shot..the filename to tag. I guess I don't know what you mean. I use Serato Pro and in that program album artist is an option so I can also edit in that program too. Not all the fields in mp3tag are in Serato.
I was thinking this would be easier to do in mp3tag than most other music programs, including Serato. But if you do need the filename data in the meantime, then I guess using a field like AlbumArtist is an option for now.
That’s good to know for future that I can find the remixer field. But yeah for now I’m ok with just copying the file name over to a new unused field. ( I do use comments myself in sersto also) a program called lexicon $16 a month claims to be able to extract the remixer from the file name.
