I bet you can.

On the cluster panel, I click on a file that's already tagged: It's Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy: D'yer Mak'er

I look at the status bar and see /mnt/ws-music/Led Zeppelin/Led Zeppelin [Box Set] Disc 2/D'yer Mak'er.mp3
2007-05-31 15143, 2007
artagnon
it's not in the right album directory
2007-05-31 15153, 2007

then I go to the file rename options box and enter

FauxFaux: Try the "move tagged files to directory". It will literally interpret what you type and not replace placeholders
2007-05-31 15126, 2007
Tykling
well
2007-05-31 15129, 2007
Tykling
heres the thing
2007-05-31 15144, 2007
Tykling
if you want to move the files to a path that is made up of tag information
2007-05-31 15102, 2007
artagnon
Tykling: Yes?
2007-05-31 15113, 2007
Tykling
say you are tagging the files in your download dir and want to move them to your mp3 dir\artist\album\
2007-05-31 15119, 2007
Tykling
and create folders as neccesary
2007-05-31 15109, 2007
Tykling
I put ie. c:\mp3 in the "move tagged files to this directory" box, the "root" mp3 directory
2007-05-31 15144, 2007
Tykling
and then put the rest in the "file naming format" box, mine says $if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%) - %album% \($left(%date%,4)\)/$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%) - $num(%tracknumber%,2). %title%
2007-05-31 15121, 2007
artagnon
Ooh.. so you have to use both together in order for it to work
2007-05-31 15129, 2007
artagnon
Tykling: I'll just try that
2007-05-31 15139, 2007
Tykling
which will give me a structure like C:\mp3\Nas\Nas - Stillmatic (2001)\Nas - 03. Got Yourself a Gun.mp3
2007-05-31 15117, 2007
artagnon jumps with joy
2007-05-31 15124, 2007

obviously configure to your own liking and remember to set the format for various artists aswell :>

Tykling: Thank you so very much
2007-05-31 15140, 2007

yeah np, took me a while to figure out as well

hmm.. the album art isn't coming up in that box like it used to in the previous version... any ideas about that?
why would you ever need to specify individual artists in the string ? you actually have individual opinions on how the individual artists should be tagged, for each artist ? :)
2007-05-31 15149, 2007
BrianFreud
I hate the genre tag - for me, I just want a very simple genre breakdown
2007-05-31 15101, 2007
Tykling
I though I was kindof fuzzy about this stuff
2007-05-31 15139, 2007
BrianFreud
eventually I'll have that part in tagger script instead, but for the moment, it's pre-pending jazz/ soundtrack/ classical/ etc depending on if artistname in %artist%
2007-05-31 15121, 2007
Tykling
ah ok and the first part prepends MissingStatus etc when those are missing
2007-05-31 15102, 2007

good idea, to get an overview of which albums have incomplete information on mb

http://musicbrainz.org/taglookup.html <-- not entering a duration makes that page give the "You don't have permission to access /ws/1/handler.py on this server." error.
how does picard work? After adding music to tags (albums retrieved from the site), are those lists stored on local disk?
2007-05-31 15108, 2007
FauxFaux
If you hit save, it'll add them to the files' tags, yes.
2007-05-31 15136, 2007
artagnon
FauxFaux: That I understand. I want to know where the lists on the right pane are stored
2007-05-31 15100, 2007
FauxFaux
They aren't?
2007-05-31 15115, 2007
FauxFaux
*They aren't.
2007-05-31 15117, 2007
artagnon
They're generated when feed the music? Why should it go to the right pane? Can't it just sit as clusters?
2007-05-31 15143, 2007
tru
no, because right is the tags from musicbrainz.
2007-05-31 15151, 2007
tru
left is just the tags it had before.
2007-05-31 15100, 2007
FauxFaux
Picard will write a unique identifier (the track id, and the album id, and the artist id etc.) to the tracks, so when you load them the second time they'll go directly to the right pane?
2007-05-31 15112, 2007
tru
that too.
2007-05-31 15114, 2007
artagnon
tru: Yes I understand that. So it looks at the tags and the database for an EXACT match. If there's one, it goes to the right pane. Otherwise it sits as clusters. Am I right?
2007-05-31 15151, 2007
FauxFaux
You'll only ever get an exact match if it's been through Picard, but close enough. ;)
2007-05-31 15101, 2007
artagnon nods
2007-05-31 15104, 2007
artagnon
got it
2007-05-31 15111, 2007
tru
artagnon: it doesn't do any automatic discovery, mark the clust and hit the lookup button on the top. if that fails, hit the lookup button lower right and select the record.
2007-05-31 15142, 2007
artagnon nods
2007-05-31 15148, 2007
FauxFaux
If you don't want them on the right, you can move them over to the left.
2007-05-31 15132, 2007

the unmatched files directory is always empty in this version though for some reason
