MediaMonkey forum

Hallo Steegy,

Thank you very very much for this GREAT script!

Yesterday, I discovered MediaMonkey after being fed-up with iTunes and not at all impressed by the JetAudio's MediaManager.
I use MM3 (B1) and thought- well, with money spent on the life-time licence:
let's rebuild the tags for 6000 files from ground up.
And although MediaMonkey's build-in automatic tools are very nice
-and mp3tag is always helpful- it was YOUR script that finally enabled me to:

- extract year from album name and paste it into date
- erase the song # before the title

Again: Thank you very much!
You have saved me hours of dull re-typing...

All the best to you,
D.

It looks like you're discovering the power of MediaMonkey very quickly! You bet there's a lot more to discover.

Welcome to the forums!

Hi! I was sent to this thread by a request for help upstream...I have a pile of MP3s with the following title structure:

[1:60] Title 1
[2:60] Title 2, etc.

I tried extracting the track number with [ <Track#> : <Skip> ] <Title>
without success. Am I missing something?

From what you wrote you have too many spaces in Mask.
Instead of "[ <Track#> : <Skip> ] <Title>"
It should be "[<Track#>:<Skip>]<Title>"

I've messed around with this cause I want to add a track number onto the title of the track. But my only problem now is saving it into the ID2/3. I'm changing all my tracks this way cause my phone doesn't use track numbers but track titles from the ID2/3.

NM was having problem with MM acting weirdly. Great JOB by the way.

Hey Steegy,

Thank you so much for this great script. It saved lot of effort .

This question is regardring the track#/ Is there anyway to change the format into 2 digit form? Eg. instead of 1, to 01?

God Bless You Steegy, you are truly doing the Lord's work. Just found this script and it's saving me so much time! Can't thank you enough!

Thank you.

This question is regardring the track#/ Is there anyway to change the format into 2 digit form? Eg. instead of 1, to 01?

You mean you want to put the track# in another field (a text field), but fixed to 2 digits?

Yes exactly. I'm doing this cause my mp3 phone's organizing system sucks. It needs the track number to be in 2 digit system for it to play in order. THX in advance.

I'm trying to remove leading track numbers.
For example I have a song: 01 Zdravstvuy, mama...
I set field name to Title and Mask to recognize as <Skip>01<Title>
with the arrow pointing back at Title. But what I get is:
%X0101 Zdravstvuy, mama...
What am I doing wrong?

@ ultra.MAD
Sorry, for the late answer .
Unfortunately there's no easy way to do this in a general way. The special field modifiers like you can use in MM don't exist in EF. They will be added somewhere in the future but I can't promise when.

@ Sperk
The normal configuration for this is:
Title --> "<Skip> <Title>" (without the quotes)
See the first post for some examples, including this case.

thanks, very nice script!

Is it possible to insert a <newline> character into the Mask area so I can transfer fields to the lyrics field on multiple lines?

Martin.
