dMC 'Power Pack' Arrange Music Option

[Spoon]

This install adds an [Arrange Music] option to dBpowerAMP Music Converters right click menu, it requires the Power Pack to function.

So what does it do? it arranges audio files based on their id tag, most (not all) mp3 files will have an id tag containing Artist, Title, Album and Track name. Files can be arranged (moved / renamed), for example you have a jumble of mp3 files all in one folder, you could for example arrange them all to a folder C:\My Music\[artist]\[album]\[track number][artist] - [track name]

Here is how it works, select a bunch of files in explorer and right click >> [Arrange Music], or if you have folders of files to select download 'File Selector' Add-on for dMC and select folders of audio files to arrange. Next on the dMC options page, first enter the root folder where everything is based, such as C:\My Music, then select how you would like the files arranged with 'Set' next to Arrangement. Then all there is to do is click 'Convert'.

To download click Downloads >> dMC Power Pack - in the Extras section.

Add Album Artist filter? (Re: dMC 'Power Pack' Arrange Music Option)

Could another filename element be added to the File Creation filter for the Album's Artist (as opposed to the track Artist that is currently available)? This could allow compilations to be organised into folders such as: Varions/Album Name

... or is there a better way?! Thanks! Paul

Excellent, just what I was waiting for :D .


Thanks Spoon.

[Edit] I'm getting a 'not found' when I try to download it (you tease!)

Works for me:

Paul: I cannot think of any way, as far as tagging the old ID3v1 tags set the lowest common denominator.

Thanks, the link worked. I've just tried the download section in IE and it works as it should but doesn't for some reason in Firefox.

Are you planning to incorporate this functionality in MMC at some point? I think it would be useful to be able to corect tags in MMC, rewrite them to the file then right-click rearrange.

I thought MMC had an arrange option?

It does but unless I missed something it will only work for the entire collection not selected tracks.

> we all do realise this thread is nearly two years old?

Only parts of it! I missed it entirely first time round and only picked it up when 'unregistered' posted in it.

[Edit] Ah I knew I'd requested this somewhere - http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=3538

Ah right, selected tracks, no it cannot do that.
