Been using DBPA to RIP CDs.. and Mp3 tag. After using Convert> tag-Filename, I've had the error message pop up in mp3tag.
It only happens to a few tracks and not many Cd/track Conversions.
I Then go into filename/track and correct info for any track, with error. Even with corrections I still get pop up message...Any ideas whats causing it...???
but my streamer reads Track as ............Track Name[] [] [].......(see snapshots)
You have not given your mask to rename the files. so I just use an example:
instead of the simple
%albumartist% _ %album% _ $num(%track%,2) _ %title%
enter for the Convert>Tag-Filename function
$validate(%albumartist% _ %album% _ $num(%track%,2) _ %title%)
if you want to cut out each illegal character
or
$validate(%albumartist% _ %album% _ $num(%track%,2) _ %title%,_)
if you want to replace every illegal character with _ (you can set there other characters, they should be legal, though).
Also, it could be that a very long filename leads to errors. The maximum for best compatibility is 253 characters for the fully qualified filename (this includes drive and path and extension)
The only thing Thing is Ive already corrected the tracks in filename-rename-manually
But when I go back to my original string it still shows the error message...and error on streamer.
Maybe its easier to just re-rip.?
When error occurs to normally looks like: track title______.flac
that's fine, however, I have manually renamed my errors, (thinking this would solve the problem..)
Still when I use Convert> Tag-filename and recheck with my Format String the error still appears. .and the problem still exists
-although, it looks correct in Columns
Seeing as its only a few CDS (OUT OF A 1000) would you re-rip then try your above Solution..?
To me it looks like a tagging problem. Re-ripping would re-write the audio part and probably use the same tagging information.
Why not try the $trim() function straight away on the existing tags?
I do not think that fiddling with the filename is a good idea as the players gets upset because of the strange characters in the tags.
So you would have to get rid of the strange characters in the fields and not the filename.
You could proceed as follows:
Load the files.
Filter for files that have control or other characters in the field TITLE:
"$if($eql($len(%title%),$len($trim(%title%))),1,0)" IS "0"
For the found files carry out this action:
Type: Format value
Field: TITLE
Format string: $trim(%title%)
This should lead to title fields without upsetting control characters. And they should be displayed by the player and cause no problems when creating new filenames.
