Hello and a special hello to Mp3tag community regulars.
I would like to know if there is a way to update tags based on a regex manipulation on a filename without resulting in a renamed file (or more).
For example suppose you have this file:
foo - bar [qux].mp3
where: foo is %title% and bar is %artist%
but also you have no use for the part in the brackets and still you want it to stay in the filename.
So, how to update accordingly from: Convert -> Filename - Tag?
Well you can't since you can't use scripting functions there and that's not even implemented.
Maybe something like this would suffice to the scenario:
($regexp(%_FILENAME%,'(.)\ -\ (.)\ [.*',\1 - \2)%title - %artist)
But anyway, I'm doing it with a bunch of intermediate steps, namely:
- I copy the entire %_FILENAME% to the %comment% tag
(which I rarely use or have it NON empty) - I rename my files somehow
(for example: using sed in cygwin or with ReNamer) - I do all my Convert -> Filename - Tag manipulations
- I rename the file to be equal to %comment%
- empty the %comment% tag.
Any ideas/suggestions, please?
