I really am bad at mask's, so this is more of a bump, because you deserve an answer and someone will correct my bad answer.

But, you should be able to write a mask for this to be used with auto-organizing and ripping, etc...
Something like:

Code: Select all

<Artist>\<Track #:-2><Title>

Should add a zero.
But, like I said I suck at Masks, so it could be:

Code: Select all

<Track #:2>

Someone will now probably pipe in with the right answer!

At any rate you can use Bex's Case & Leading Zero Fixer to fix the tracks without a leading zero.

The mask sets the number of digits in the filename and does nothing for the display within MM. The correct mask is

Code: Select all

<Track#:2>

If it's the display you're wanting to affect as well, Bex's script can however "force" MM to show track and disc numbers with a leading zero. Just set it in the options to Add Leading Zero and you can use it on a single file, in batches, or on your whole library in one go. D Rock provided the link above.

thanks for the replies!

If i understand correctly the masks are only for the filenames - but what i want to change are the tags.

And that script, what does it do, just force the Monkey to SHOW a leading Zero, or relly add it in the tag?

ever hear of manual typing? thats the only answer i know of for adding track numbers with more then one number in the tags.

i know i know it reminds me of the old hoyt axton song. boney fingers.

AFAIK there's no script to force MM to write a leading zero.

But with this script you can fix your whole library with one click: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14822

EDIT: It really adds the '0' to the tag!

Just downloaded the script from the site mentioned in this thread. After I unzip it & try to open the mmip file nothing happens & my system locks up.
Windows XP SP2
MM3 - 1140 Gold

You could try to manually install.
Delete all references to the script in your monkey's program files/monkey/scripts.
Then do a manual install by coping the code from here.
Then, following these instructions:

Code: Select all

' INSTALL, Two different ways:
'
' ** Update existing Case script (wich is shipped with MM) **
'   1) Goto "Mediamonkey\Scripts" folder. Open up the existing script named Case.vbs in e.g. Notepad
'   2) Replace all the code in the file with this code
'   3) (Re)start MediaMonkey
'
' ** Separate Install, which will work independently of the Case script  **
'   1) Goto "Mediamonkey\Scripts" folder. Right click and create a txt file.
'   2) Name it CaseModify.vbs (Make sure it's not named CaseModify.vbs.txt)
'   3) Copy all this content into the file and save it.
'   4) Open up the scripts.ini file located in the same folder and add the text below to the end of the file

'[CaseModify]
'FileName=CaseModify.vbs
'ProcName=TitleCase
'Order=10
'DisplayName=Case Modify...
'Description=
'Language=VBScript
'ScriptType=0
'Shortcut=Ctrl+E

.

drjboulder - Thanks for the info. I'm not very technical so i've relied on the installer packages for the scripts i've used so far. If i do try a manual install as you suggest would that give me the latest version.
