1: Not using Auto Tag from Filename. ZvezdanD's Regexp Find & Replace script would be able to do that but it might be complicated if you've never used regular expressions though.mmediaman wrote: 1.) Could the entire path be combined and written into a single tag? What would be the example syntax?
2.) How is the <Path:n> command actually used? Is it only good for writing paths to disk or can it's value be used for evaluation and to update tags?
3.) How is the $If statement used in combination with these? Trying something like $If(<Path:-1>=Media,<Custom 1>\<Custom 2>\<Title> - <Artist>,) returns nothing...
Not sure I can even explain the intent of #3 except to say that \Media is the top level folder which I never want returned and written to <Custom X>, I am trying to set a condition that if the folder structure contains "\Media", that "\Media" does not get written to the tag.
mmediaman's question was originally in a separate thread. That thread has been merged with this one.MMFrLife wrote:@rivorson, why the inclusion of "\<Title> - <Artist>" in your example?
It doesn't appear to do anything and seems to be able to be left off.
That part doesn't appear to do anything in my example either.
What's a right mind? I've never heard of such a thing! _budump bump, chsss...captain paranoia wrote:...who in their right mind organises their physical library using genre?
Leading off with with genre isn't any more difficult. Even if you use combined elements like myself, ripping to destinationcaptain paranoia wrote:Store your physical library by <album artist>/<album>/<track title> (to match your actual physical collection of CDs),
then you can easily re-rip a given CD into the physical storage location.

I don't think its a good idea to make judgemental statements about someone's logic.
Since my post introduced the idea of organization by Genre, (which in the first place was merely for context of the technical question), I feel moved to post this reply. It might be interesting to know that I am a veteran DJ of 20+ years, with more successful club gigs and private event parties than I can count. Organizing a library by Genre makes complete sense and a proven method for part of this success. Consider that DJs don't blend from genre to genre and era to era from one track to another during the course of their presentation.
The point here is, unless you know a thing or two about how music is consumed, don't be judgemental. ....even then.
