filename display and managing use of tag view

Post by pellucid »

1 In my music library folder I have a folder with file names in track order. When I look at the same folder in MM5 I get 'Track01 Track02 Track03... etc' so it is not picking up the displayed file names in my music library folder. How do I persuade MM5 to read the titles as displayed in my music library folder? Further it shows a 'mock' folder called '>>Tag View'. Please explain how I use and manage Tag view.

Filenames and Titles are 2 separate things. Titles are in the tags of files. You can capture the Title from Filename into the Title tag using Tools > Auto-Tag from Filename.

I still have difficulty in getting MM5 filename sort order the same as that in WEindows Explorer. Main difficulty is pursuading MM5 to respect 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 order. I have a screenshot which displays the awkwardness which I can show you if I knew how to post it to you.

You'll need leading 0's if you're sorting on Filename/Path in MediaMonkey to get the correct sort with numbers.
