txt files for import (from Excel, I guess) with only album data repeated, let's say, 50 times (lines). If you're really working on an album basis and not the whole library, you can create. In the end you did give me some precious info. Your idea of using the folder name to fetch data is interesting, and I think I will have some proper use for it though.

However, even worst than that is that it suffers from the same problem I have: how to isolate that only one track and use it as reference for the entire album? That's why I wanted a GroupBy function.īut thanks. If I got you right, your idea seems good, although I wouldn't be able to use it to import all sorts of fields because of character's restriction in the names of folders. You can then use either the Convert>Filename-Tag function or an action of the type "Import field" for _FILENAME to get the data out of the file system information.

If you export the data to the FIRST track of an album and then use an action of the type "Format value" for _DIRECTORY with all the data you have mentioned in your example then all the files of that folder get moved to the new one (or better: the folder gets renamed). Only after the tagging you can filter or sort data accordingly.Įxample Record: Vangelis~ Chariots Of Fire~Ambient\Modern Classical\\Soundtrack~Polydor~FLAC~High It is impossible to find the album or artist with MP3tag if you only have the title. No, believe me: MP3tag does not know anything about this kind of data until you have entered it. Mp3tag wouldn't be able to organise anything without an Album and an Artist, would it? S Well, Mp3Tag does know something about Albums, as well as Artists, because they are the next two big things after a track.

Note: I'm using the tilde (~) as separator. Here is and example:įields: Artist~ Album~All Genres~Publisher~MediaType~QualityĮxample Record: Vangelis~ Chariots Of Fire~Ambient\\Modern Classical\\Soundtrack~Polydor~FLAC~High Maybe using a Renamer external application, but even so, it would be very awkward (if possible at all because of the characters involved) because I need a lot of info.

I it would have to be manual labour for sure. And You would have to know how many lines to create for each album, which would require a new information: number of tracks per album (which I don't use, so it would be an added extra effort, which is precisely the opposite of what I want eheheh). So you must first create new lines, and only then copy the information.

Unfortunately it doesn't allow to copy and insert full lines. Mp3tag wouldn't be able to organise anything without an Album and an Artist, would it? So I think this is not so far fetched as it might appear at first glance and I think it would improve mp3Tag a lot!Īs for coying the information in Excel, I already gave it a try, but it is not practical at all. If there is no solution, I hereby propose Florian to please add one such function or method, because it could spare lots of time in the starting of a new artist collection, which is what I'm doing right now (creating a new library for all my artists, with all the tags correctly placed).

I already searched the Web and the Mp3Tag Forum, but I never came across a solution.

If I am, then please let me know, because I desperately need this. This is a typical 1-to-Many database relation, so I don't know if I am missing something here. Another possibility would be to do a GROUP BY sort (very common in SQL statements), but again, I can't find a way to do such a thing. I can't find a way of associating one record from the import file, with many records from the mp3Tag database. I know how to export, and I know how to import. I usually create a discography list of my artists on an Excel spreadsheet, and it would be great to be able to import it using Mp3Tag. I need to automatically create or import information on an Album basis, which is to say, information that regards the Album, ant not any individual track, which means that it is repeated for all the tracks of that same album.Įxamples are: Album Number (my own ID), Album Title, Album Artist, Genre, and other similar fields.
