Hello Everyone! I am new to the MP3tag community and have a procedural question that may be explained elsewhere, I am ripping audio books for use on either an MP3 device or to rip on one or two CDs versus 10 - 12. My question(s): Is there a preferred method of tagging the chapters so they play in…

see the Tools menu (or the toolbar) for the track numbering assistant. This function fills the field TRACK. If you want to keep a relation to the CD on which tracks were found, then fill the filed DISCNUMBER (manually). As this field is usually not read by players, you could then combine the disc…

Thanks! I'll take a look at that and give it a try.

That method does not combine disc number and track. When I load multiple files to rip they come up sequentially (e.g. Disc 1/ track 1, Disc 2/ track 1, etc.). ow can I combine the disc and track number tags as you mentioned so they will list properly in the ripping software I am using (Nero Platinum…

Once %discnumber% and %track% have been filled, use the function Converter>Tag-Tag for TRACK Format string: %discnumber%$num(%track%,2)

You are the man!! That string is the "secret sauce"! Thank you again. I want to add that I have used many different MP3 tagging programs over the years and I have finally found the Holy Grail!! Everyone, please support these guys with your donations, they are deserving of your continued support!! T…

Okay, one more question regarding the audio book numbering scheme: How do I alter the string to show discs as 2 digits, the way tracks are shown (e.g. 01,02, etc.)? I ran into an audio book with 15 discs and listing the first 9 discs as single digits results in disc 10 listing in front of disc 2!!…

use the function Converter>Tag-Tag for TRACK Format string: $num(%discnumber%,2)$num(%track%,2)

That string does not work at all. It appears to create double numbers. For example: Disc 1/ track 5 is listed as 110105. Thanks though. I'll keep plugging away!

Just tried it and it works as intended: Disc 1 track 5 becomes 0105 And even with data like discnunber = 1/2 and track = 5/10 if becomes 0105 If you have already run the other action and the track number is already something like 105 then it is clear that the repeated processing adds another …

I'll try re-ripping a disc so the data is fresh and try it again. Thanks again!
