Hi
Im novice in scripting but i would like musicbrainz picard to update the album name tag adding a fixed mention (Hi-Res) when an album is a 24bit album
Is there anyway to script this ?
I ve searched all the afternoon …
Many many thanks to the one who may know how to do that 🙂

Adding the following to the end of your file naming script should to the trick:
```auto
$if($eq(%_bits_per_sample%,24), \(Hi-Res\))
```

I was just fiddling with something similar today but both `_bitrate` and `_sample_rate` gave me nothing. I’d love to know if `_bits_per_sample` works (it’s my bedtime).

Awake now and tried the following:
```auto
$set(xtest,a:%album% s:%_bits_per_sample% br:%_bitrate% sr:%_sample_rate% f:%_format%)
$set(xtest2,fe:%_extension% rt:%_primaryreleasetype% srt:%_secondaryreleasetype%)
$set(xtest3,st:%releasestatus%)
```
and the files were tagged with:
```auto
xtest: a:The Dark Side of the Moon s: br: sr: f:
xtest2: fe: rt:album srt:
xtest3: st:official
```
So `_bits_per_sample`, `_bitrate`, `_sample_rate`, `_format`, `_extension` do nothing for me.

The file variables are currently only available in file naming script, which is what @Jaydiohead actually asked for.

Unless the OP has been edited, @Jaydiohead didn’t even mention file naming, rather:
> [@Jaydiohead](#):
>
> …update the album name tag…
However thanks for clarifying about when those variables are available. The documentation at [https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/tags/](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/tags/) is incorrect, then.
**“This page describes … Picard variables which can be used in Picard scripts (for tagging…).”**
Those variables I tested are listed under _“Basic Variables”_.
With your suggestion of:
```auto
$if($eq(%_bits_per_sample%,24), \(Hi-Res\))
```
it’s not obvious to me which tag is being set. What am I missing?
Any idea how to fix the doco? A ticket?
Thanks.

@Jaydiohead did you get this to work? I’m trying to do the same.

No tag is being set because you can’t set tags in the file naming script. Well, I guess you can set them, but they won’t be written to the file. This is simply adding " (Hi-Res)" to the file name.

Yep, sorry. I misread the OP
