I'm a newbie that is trying to organize my library.
I have a ton of mp3s that have brackets with random numbers and I want to remove them from the title and the filename.
If someone can link me to a post or walk me through step by step so I can fix this, I would be greatly appreciated!!! I don't know anything about this coding stuff, so bare with me!!
Thanks!
Lookng at the filename, I interpret that as
%album% - (%dummy%) %title% - %artist%
Enter that string after you have selected the files in Convert>Filename-Tag.
That function has a preview.
After you have imported the data into the corresponding fields, rewrite the filenames with Convert>Tag-Filename
As a separator between the indivudual pieces of data I would suggest the underscore, so enter as
Format string: %artist% _ %title%
Thanks!! For the most part, it worked. There were some that when I tried to format it wouldn't allow me to preview/hit ok? Are they locked, or would I need another code to change them? I really appreciate your help!!!!!!
Sure easier than taking actual photographs...
Then, in many cases the format string pattern does not match the pattern found in the filename.
As @anon32189785 already said: in such cases a screendump helps also in many cases.
