Till now I was uisng f2k and foo_discogs for tagging and TagScanner for renaming and creating playlists.
Now I want to use one app for tags because I have huge FLAC collection and I need to have all same tags…same fields, same folder scheme etc.
All is clear with tagging but how to setup Picard to write file names like TagScanner?
I need this pattern:
Albums:
%track% - %title%
02 - Lost And Found.flac
Compilations (Various Artists):
%track% - %artist% - %title%
07 - Nicola Conte - Jet Sounds (Nu Spirit Helsinki Remix).flac
Multidisc releases:
%disc%-%track% - %artist% - %title%
6-07 - Academy Of St Martin In The Fields / Sir Neville Marriner - “Gallipoli” Adagio In G Minor (Excerpt).flac
All file names need to be general latin (I belive that’s option “Replace non-ACSI characters”) and it will be nice to have option in script something like “capitalize each word”.
Now I’m renaming all folders manually because I don’t know can I make Picard to rename main folder of album to have pattern like this:
CD
Artist - Original year - Album (Release year) [Format] {Label - Catalog number}
Pink Floyd - 2014 - The Endless River (2014) [FLAC] {Parlophone - 825646213344}
- for all CD releases I always leave just “FLAC” info
Vinyl:
Artist - Original year - Album (Release year) [Format] {Bits-Sample rate, Label - Catalog number}
Pink Floyd - 2014 - The Endless River (2014) [VINYL] {24-96, Columbia - 88875007881}
Web:
Artist - Original year - Album (Release year) [Format] {Bits-Sample rate, Label - Catalog number}
Pink Floyd - 2014 - The Endless River (2014) [DD] {24-96, HDTracks}
It will be nice if I can somehow get this to work and if I can have this done in few months instead of fey years (years if I will make raneme by myself of every album name).
If this renaming is too complexed for Picard, I can make some shorten version like this:
Artist - Original year - Album (Release year) [Format] {Catalog number}
Pink Floyd - 2014 - The Endless River (2014) [FLAC] {825646213344}
…or I can even remove “format” for CD because I have only flac files (or I can write that “FLAC” info by myself)…
Thanks for all your help! This one will save me few years of work if can be done.
