Special MP3 Rename

Post by dogeatdog »

Hi guys, just wondering how to tweak the special rename MP3 to only rename the title.

for example i want the filename to go to the MP3 title but the only option is filename to id3 tag title & artist. i just want the title, how do i do that?

thank you!

I guess you can't. Use a script instead...

Thank you, do you know a way XY can write to ID3v2 tags or just use another program altogether, it would be really nice to somehow get XY to do it.

I use a script for this and a command line tool that can write ID3v2 tags (XY can't)
https://github.com/squell/id3

Change the

Code: Select all

$tool = "D:\Tools\@Command Line Tools\id3 mass tagger\id3.exe";
line and read the comments in the attached .xys file!

Hi highend, i have been messing around for hours, disabling certain lines etc and i nearly got it to work but something is still wrong.

what i am trying to do is make it so the filename is written to the mp3 title no matter if the artist is there. can you help me modify the code to remove the artist condition?

Write the full name of the file (without extension and path) as the IDv2 title? Regardless how the file is named?
