Automated way of adding year to album title?

Post by d4005 »

I've got all of my mp3 tags populated with artist, album name, year, genre etc. What I'd like to do is run my entire library through a plugin or a batch script (or some other tool) so that it takes the album year and appends it to the album title in parentheses or square brackets. So an album from 2003 with the title "Greatest Hits" becomes "Greatest Hits [2003]".

Does anyone know of a plugin/tool that could easily do that? Even better if it's MediaMonkey. I'm using version 4.1.9.1764 on Windows. Also, my files are stored in a folder hierarchy with top level = "mp3", next level = Artist name, within there is a folder for each album by that artist, and then all the songs from that album in there with name format Artist - Title.mp3.

If you rename it in the folder or filename with Auto-Organize Files you can then retrieve this with Auto-Tag from Filename.

Otherwise you can try RegExp: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... lit=regexp
