Hello,
As a music creator, all my files begin with a number, and then the song-name.
example: 01 - My Lastest Love Song - (Master).mp3
Is it possible to extract the first 2 characters of the filename, and use this to populate the "Track" field value within one of the "Actions" I have already defined?
Cheers,
SunflowerGUY.
If all other fields are already done, try Guess Values, with %track% - %dummy% from the file name as the source.
Hi All,
This is my final solution.
In the example of a file called... "03 - He Spoke To Me - 2021-Master.mp3",
the following commands within the "CONVERT" process
have extracted the Track Number and the Track Title,
whilst removing the remaining info contained within the filename.
Cheers,
SFG
With that mask you create a user-defined field called NULL which you may have to delete afterwards.
The correct keyword for data you choose to ignore during import is %dummy%.
And with
%track% - %title% - %year%-%dummy%
you could get even more data out of the filename.
Please note that the Converter is no action but I see that shows the effect of the mask better.
