Hi, need some help. 1. if %year% is like from 1992-2005 then old 2. if %\_bitrate% is greater then 1400-5000 then 24.bit 3. its possible to change cover size when inporting to file, for example original cover.jpg is 1500x1500 and stays same but cover in tag changes 600x600 Thanks. ---

1 to 2. Use F3 (filter) and use: %year% GREATER "1991" AND %year% LESS "2006" %\_bitrate% GREATER "1400" AND %\_bitrate% LESS "5000" Then use a format action. Although bitrate is not changed as it's read only. You can add a tag however with the format action which will not be read by most player. I don't understand why you want to rid the year tag. Back it up to a field before you erase it forever. iTunes has smart playlist. Not sure about others. 1. No, but if you look around the forum this has been answered many times. ---

> [@ketamine powder](#): > > ... the goal is sort all in one folder ... Hmm ... someone must have eagle eyes to read this long scripting expression, and I assume, this format expression will be maintenance-intensive. Here comes a proposal, that might be more handsome. 1. Within the folder "%APPDATA%\Mp3tag\data" create a textfile with the name "GenreGroups.ini" (or just use a filename and folder of your wish). From within Mp3tag you can use the %MP3TAGAPPDATA% placeholder, which is the same as "%APPDATA%\Mp3tag". 2. Fill the new ini file with the following content: 3. Create an action. Begin Action Group **GetSectionFromInifile** Action #1 _Actiontype 14:_ **Import text file** _Field \_\_:_ **GG\_INI** _Filename:_ **$getEnv('MP3TAGAPPDATA')'\data\GenreGroups.ini'** Action #2 _Actiontype 5:_ **Format value** _Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **GG** _Formatstring:_ **$regexp(%GG\_INI%,'^._[(.+?)]._?\n'$trim(%GENRE%)'\r.\*$','$1',1)** Action #3 _Actiontype 5:_ **Format value** _Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **GG** _Formatstring:_ **$if($eql(%GG%,%GG\_INI%),,%GG%)** ... or ... _Formatstring:_ **$if($eql(%GG%,%GG\_INI%),'unknown',%GG%)** Action #4 _Actiontype 9:_ **Remove fields** _Fields to remove (semicolon separated):_ **GG\_INI** End Action Group **GetSectionFromInifile** (4 Actions) After the action group has been run against a file, which contains already the GENRE tag-field, then the file get a new tag-field "GG", which contains the GenreGroup name, as it has been defined in the GenreGroups ini file as a section name. Further on use the content from the tag-field GG for the other things, e. g. for creating a folderpath. DD.20131219.1727.CET ---
