Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

[dougmon]

I think I'm having trouble with the IFMULTI. My rule is this:

[IFCOMP]Various[][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[REPLACE] ,_,[album artist][],[REPLACE] ,_,[artist][][][]/[REPLACE] ,_,[album][]/[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]_[REPLACE] ,_,[title][]

and what I get in the dynamic naming section of the ripper for a multi-disc cd is this:

Album_Artist/Album_Title/2-05_Title

But I don't get that when I rip CDs. I can put a single digit in the Disc input field or I can have a pattern like this 1/5 and it makes no difference.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks for any pointers.

I tried to edit the post above. I've solved the problem. I had "Drop disk count" checked in the DSP section. Unchecking that made this work the way it's supposed to.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

What you are asking is quite complex, because your 'Music' folder really is:

c:\users\[username]\Music

so to go from:

c:\users\[username]\Music\FLAC\some folder\possibly another folder\filename.ext

to

c:\users\[username]\Music\mp3\some folder\possibly another folder\filename.ext

You have to trim the first 4 folders:

[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][][][][]\[origfilename]

Then set your base output folder to: Music\Mp3\

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

I like the software but the naming is horrible to understand. Just honest feedback.

I have ripped files to Music\FLAC

I am converting them to MP3 and want to add them to the same artist\song folder structure under

Music\MP3s

Seems really simple but I cannot get it to work even when I copy over the paths from mt old PC with an old version of the software.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Set the naming to:

[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][][][]\[origfilename]

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

After purchasing dBpoweramp Reference and PerfectTunes software recently, I've re-ripped and re-organised our CD music collection, using CD Ripper. 169 artists and compilations, 3200 songs, great value software, thank you!

Now that it's done, I want to create a separate MP3 version of the collection so I can copy it to my wife's and my smartphones.

NOTE:
My default Music folder path is:
C:\Users\Brent\OneDrive\Music\*.*

My new path for the MP3 version is:
C:\Samsung S9 Music\*.*

If I setup a profile in Music Converter to do the task (as and when we add new albums to the collection), what do I input into MC's profile dialogs — to suit the MP3 path above?

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

The naming section is shared between programs, CD Ripper, dMC, Multi Encoder to name a few, it does not have access to CD Rippers ID Tag settings. For naming track numbers are always padded, disc numbers are not (not many people have disc sets of 10 or more discs).

Thank you for the clarification.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

It is not a bug, as naming is independent to ID Tags.

So, why is the behaviour for [track] and [disc] not consistent i.e. why is track padding and disc not padding, within the naming string?

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Your suggested workaround was successful.

Is there anything I could try that might help confirm and locate the bug?

[Johnny Moondog]

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Thank you for this feedback.

Within Meta Data & ID Tag Options, both options are ticked — "Pad track number to 2 digits" and "Pad disc number to 2 digits".

When I look at the metadata of the tracks, both of these options are working.

But in the Naming string, [track] is padding correctly, and [disc] is not.

As an example, my file name looks like: 2-01 Jean the Birdman.flac

I will try your suggestion.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Is there a way to pad the disc number in a file name?

...My current settings are:

Naming: [album artist]\[album]\[disc]-[track] [title]

Meta Data & ID Tag Options: [x] Pad disc number to 2 digits

I have the Pad track number to 2 digits option ticked and this is working correctly for [track] in my Naming string. I am surprised to find Pad disc number to 2 digits option is not working, so I suspect this is a bug.

... please can you try using [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][] instead of [disc] as a possible workaround?

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Is there a way to pad the disc number in a file name?

So the result is:

01-01 Track.flac

Instead of:

1-01 Track.flac

My current settings are:

Naming: [album artist]\[album]\[disc]-[track] [title]

Meta Data & ID Tag Options: [x] Pad disc number to 2 digits

Thanks for any feedback!

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

You must have either a space at the beginning of the actual album artist tag, or in the naming string, post the full naming string with a copy and paste here please.

Ahh! That was it. There was a space at the beginning of the string (hard to see when I posted). Thank you.
