Auto-tag from filename always populates Artist/Title if there are parentheses in the filename

Post by manalive »

... even when the user doesn't specify one of them.

I don't know if it's JUST the parentheses or something else in the format. Here is an example filename:

Code: Select all

01 - Movement 1 (Isaiah 52_13-15).mp3
Using the format

Code: Select all

<skip> - <title>
The previewed output is
Title =

Code: Select all

15)
Artist=

Code: Select all

Movement 1 (Isaiah 52 13
When the output should be
Title =

Code: Select all

Movement 1 (Isaiah 52_13-15)
Weirdly, I get the same exact result with:

Code: Select all

<skip> - <artist>

Hi,
Based on your example you only need "<Track #> - <title>" instead of what you tried.

Hi Peke,

That gives the same result, as does just using <title> by itself.

Which build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 are you on?

On build 2422 I get Title = Movement 1 (Isaiah 52 13-15) when using Mask <Ignore> - <Title> on Filename = E:\Media\Test\01 - Movement 1 (Isaiah 52_13-15).mp3

I am also on 2422.
I manually changed all of them and now the auto-tag is showing correctly after I synced the tags to the mmdb.

Ghost in the machine, I guess. Thank you for looking at this.
