MP3 Rename templates

I found myself wanting to rename a bunch of mp3's the other day, and the first place I looked was Tracker. Was pleased (but not surprised) to find that it had this feature. It would be cool if we could add our own templates for renaming, since none of the ones listed do what I want.

Again, this is no biggie, but it would be nice to have. If we can't have templates, then can you add a rename option to take a bunch of mp3's and create a directory structure from them:

1 - Some Artist - Some Album - Some Track Title.mp3

would become:

Some Artist\Some Album\1 - Some Track Title.mp3

Obviously, it would look at the ID3 tags to obtain the info.

Thanks!

You actually have templates for this in the INI file:

Code: Select all

[FilenameToID3]
1=Artist - Title
2=Track - Artist - Title
3=Artist - Album - Track - Title

[ID3toFilename]
1=Artist - Title
2=Track - Artist - Title
3=Artist - Album - Track - Title
But none for creating directories. I leave this to the mp3-specialized apps.
