My radio station requires the correct tags to display on the listeners player. I can automate the correct file name, but not the correct tags. Sometimes the tags are filled in incorrectly so I need to overwrite them. At the moment I do this manually. The file will be located typically at c:\radio/a…

Many thanks for the prompt answer. Can this be done from the command line as I have batch files to move files around folders and delete old files.

[image] busby: Can this be done from the command line No. But you can [image] busby: move files around folders with MP3tag.

Hmm - I was hoping that after much searching, there was a solution that could be automated; at [time]+ [day] write tags from filename. As mp3tag seems not to be able to do that, I guess I will need to keep looking. Thanks everyone for answering my questions.

[image] busby: The convention for the file name is 'Artist Name @artisttwitter - Show Name Episode xxx' (.mp3) You can easily import the data parts from the filename using an action or the Convert>Filename-Tag function: Source: %_filename% Target: %artist% @%dummy% - %title% (%dummy% leave…

Many thanks for the explanation. The only problem is that I need to automate the process so that it takes place without my intervention at the same time as it is processed by either a batch file or the actions of BestSync.

Converters to rename files or to import tags FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How to import parts of the filename into the tag? Importing tags from filenames and directory names can be done by using the [Converter > Filename - Tag] Converter > Filename - Tag. The basic concept is the notion of a format string which describes the structure of the name to import from. The format string is built of either standard text (e.g., Music), placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, ...), or backslash characters \ that denote directory structures. Here is an example that imports t…
