Un Auto Organised 3.0 [MM2+3] - Updated 30/10/2009

Maybe i am blind, but where do i find your e-mail-address?

[trixmoto]

I thought an email button appeared on the right, maybe not. It's richardpaullewis at the greatness which is gmail.com. It can also be found on my website, incidentally.

This report hasn't been working as intended for me, either. Though when I did upgrade from version 2.8 to 2.9, it went from returning back 25k tracks in the report to "only" just over 13k!

I have a pretty big collection - around 89k songs. What I have noticed is that MOST of the current list of 'unauto-organized' tracks have a "The" prefix for the artist. And my mask is fairly simple:

M:\Music\Pop\<Album Artist@1>\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track#> <Title>

I know this creates some issue already with tracks that are missing track # (as sometimes MediaMonkey stores or expects a blank space, other times an empty string), but this doesn't explain the weirdness with all the "THE" prefixed album artists.

[trixmoto]

The "@" doesn't ignore the prefixes in this script yet, but it is on my list to fix this issue. This is the same issue that Michel37 reported but I forgot to update the thread as we moved our conversation to email.

[mistresso]

Hrm, well the intended "@" functionality may explain a lot on my end, as far as returning back false positives (everyone with a "The" prefix gets returned)!

I also seem to be having some issues with tracks that are missing track # (as sometimes MediaMonkey stores or expects a blank space, other times an empty string).

[trixmoto]

I'll look at this in the next version and try to get it resolved.

Hi, I'm just trying this out (looks like a very useful script!) but when I go File/Create Reports/UnAutoOrganized it runs through two thirds of my collection and then halts with the following error message:



The logfile doesn't show anything related to the error. Not sure if I did something wrong. I read something about clicking an icon on the toolbar, but I didn't find one.

I've got a fairly complicated sort string including several nested $If statements:

Code: Select all

E:\Media\New\$If(<Grouping>,<Grouping>,Uncategorized)\$If(<Album Artist>,<Album Artist>,<Artist>)\$If(<Album>,$If(<Album Artist><>Various Artists,$If(<Year>,<Year> ~ ,),)<Album>,Other)\$If(<Grouping>=Podcasts,<Filename>,$If(<Track#>,<Track#:2> ~ ,)<Title>$If(<Album Artist>,$If(<Album Artist><>Various Artists,, (<Artist>$)),))

[trixmoto]

Ooops, that would be a typo! Open "UnAutoOrganised.vbs" in a text editor, find line 1043 and replace "GetPath" with "GetPart".

[sonofjon]

Thanks! That fixed it.

This script seems to have a problem with $First statement.

Code: Select all

mask=M:\My Music\$MovePrefix($First(%R))\%L (%Y)\\(%2T) %A - %S
orig=M:\My Music\Bright Eyes\One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [EP] (2004)\(04) Bright Eyes - I'll Be Your Friend.mp3
path=M:\My Music\$First(Bright Eyes; Neva Dinova)\One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [EP] (2004)\(04) Bright Eyes - I'll Be Your Friend.mp3

[Mizery_Made]

- $First(string,count,start from) - There was added parameter 'start from' (optional), which specifies to skip a number of items in multi-value string. E.g. $First(a;b;c,1,1) returns 'b'.

What happens if you use "$First(<Album Artist>,1)"?

[JoJoBAH]

Mizery_Made: Similar results:

Code: Select all

mask=M:\My Music\$MovePrefix($First(%R,1))\%L (%Y)\\(%2T) %A - %S
orig=M:\My Music\Bright Eyes\One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [EP] (2004)\(04) Bright Eyes - I'll Be Your Friend.wma
path=M:\My Music\$First(Bright Eyes; Neva Dinova,1)\One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels [EP] (2004)\(04) Bright Eyes - I'll Be Your Friend.wma

[Mizery_Made]

I was going to suggest it might be case sensitive and to try "$first", however I converted the two "$left" statements I use over to "$first", making one "$First" and the other "$first" and they both worked properly. I'm guessing your issue is coming from nesting it in the "$MovePrefix" function. Perhaps you could run a test, removing this function temporarily?

[trixmoto]

I thought I'd fixed all the nesting issues in the latest version - are you definitely running 2.9?

[Guest]

Running 2,9 and i think i might have some problems with nesting too.

Sub CheckFunctions(i,j,str)
Dim s : s = UCase(str)
Select Case Mid(s,i-3,3)

Last line gives an error, anyone got an idea? line 764 column 2
