I'm trying to achieve something specific with Mp3tag and would appreciate some guidance.
I have FLAC and MP3 files, and I need to extract the month from the information stored in the 'Year' field. My goal is to then populate the 'Track Number' field with this extracted month (as a two-digit number, e.g., '01' for January, '12' for December).
Could someone please provide a script or tag formatting sequence that would allow me to extract only the month from the 'Year' field and write it to the 'Track Number' field?
But in mp3tag the date it shows me is the download date, not when the file was created. (well and now it doesn't show it to me in any way in mp3tag, I've touched something:frowning: )
I want to get the information of the year or Date added (in rekordbox) to be seen in "Date of departure" in RB, but I can't get RB to read the label, so it occurred to me to use the "Clue" field of MP3TAG to extract the month from the YEAR field with two digits
What I want is that the YEAR field can be written in a field that can read RekordBox 7.1
Nothing, there was no way, no matter how much I write in RB values in the fields and then updated with CMD+T in MP3TAG, it does not return information to me. I leave you the fields that should be able to edit in RB 7.0 (they are the same as the free version 6).
I've now installed RB7 and the release date is not stored to the file itself but RB's internal database. It's also not read from any common fields for FLAC, so I think it's at the moment not possible to edit the release date for FLAC outside of Rekordbox and have it displayed in the app.
This is also in line with the Rekordbox Metadata Matrix, which shows the release date as field not being read or written for FLAC.
As a side note: The configuration for "Remezclador" (which is Remixer) in Mp3tag is wrong in both cases: for the File List you're using the COMMENT field, for the Tag Panel you're using ORIGYEAR. My guess is that you've changed those just for testing, but I wanted to mention anyway.
You are a crack! Thank you very much for confirming what I already feared, that RB has a closed system of labels, a shame.
At this point, as I can do, so that from MP3 I can extract only the mm of the year and put it in the track field?
This is my failure, to touch so I have broken it, how can I restore that configuration? I need the remixing field to only report the data that I put manually.
You'd just use the correct field names. For FLAC files you could use MIXARTIST or REMIXER — the field names are used directly without mapping for FLAC.
If you want to start from scratch, you can use Terminal.app while Mp3tag being closed and paste this command to restore the File List columns:
