hi, i have a collection of music by artist in different albums with a few songs in each album.
how can i get from one artist all my songs from that artist in one album (album name doesnt matter)
is this possible to do ? and how?
dont think this is what i ment,i have my albums in folders but in different folders i have songs for the same artist and want them put together,how can i do that?
It is easy to sort your MP3s in any way you want in case your sort-criterias are based on correctly filled tag-fields.
So what tag-fields are filled in your MP3s and what do you want to look your folder-structure like?
(Artist, Album, Year, Albumartist, Genre and so on)
No.
You have to use backslashes and not slashes to sort in folders.
Here is an example that sorts all songs of a special album together on a volume d: and directory MP3s and names the songs only with title.
d:\mp3s\%artist%\%album%\%title%
Normally it is better to distinguish between Albumartist and Artist. An album normally has one albumartist, but can have several songs with different artists.
If you have both tags filled you could use it this way:
Locate the row with the tag-field name "ALBUM".
Note:
If there is no tag-field "ALBUM", then press [Ins] and create the tag-field "ALBUM" ...
... and follow with step 5.
Press [F4].
Insert the new Album name.
Press [OK].
Press [OK].
In Mp3tag list view do check the result.
Ready.
Using converter ...
In Mp3tag list view select files from one artist.
Open converter "Tag - Tag" [Alt+5].
Set "Field" to "ALBUM".
Set "Formatstring" to "my new Album name".
Press [OK].
In Mp3tag list view do check the result.
Ready.
Using action ...
In Mp3tag list view select files from one artist.
Open quick action "Format value" [Alt+Shift+6].
Set "Field" to "ALBUM".
Set "Formatstring" to "my new Album name".
Press [OK].
In Mp3tag list view do check the result.
Ready.
Using list view cells directly ...
In Mp3tag list view select the ALBUM cell within a row.
Use the delayed primary mouse click to set the cell status into edit mode.
Or use [F2] and [Tab] to locate the cell.
Fill the cell with an appropriate value of your wish.
Before leaving the cell select the text and copy the text into the Windows Clipboard [Strg+C].
Press [Enter] to make the change permanent to this cell.
The underlying media file will be updated just in this moment.
The cell cursor will step into the following row, staying in the same column.
This behavior can be set in the Mp3tag options "General" ...
Set the checkbox "Automatically select next file when editing in file view."
Press [Strg+V] or [Shift+Ins] to copy the clipboard's content into the current selected cell.
Press [Enter] to make the change permanent.
Repeat step 4 and 5 as often you need it.
Ready.
Using text file for importing text into tag-field ...
Create a text file to store as much text lines as you want to edit media files.
Fill each line with an appropriate value of your wish.
Save this text file into a folder of your wish, for example onto the desktop.
In Mp3tag list view select files from one artist.
Open converter "Textfile - Tag" [Alt+4].
Set "Filename" to the filepath to the text file on the desktop.
The button [...] opens the file selection system dialog window.
Set "Formatstring" to "%ALBUM%".
Press [Preview] to check the result to be expected.
If all is looking good, then perform the process and press [OK].
