    Get things like "track number" in *WINDOWS* properties for a track?

    Hi,
    In Windows XP, if I've got an Explorer window open &
    am viewing a directory containing tracks ripped by dBpoweramp, I never see any additional information
    that one can request Windows to display (e.g.,
    track number).
    (You can see the items potentially available to Windows
    by right clicking on a column header ... there are about
    15 to 30 of them.)

    How does one get dBpoweramp to setup those
    properties/attributes/whatever for each file?
    (It clearly knows the info...within dBpoweramp I can
    ask about the file and get the info ... but I want it
    in the Windows window, too

    I'm not asking about showing the info in dBpoweramp!

    thanks!
    Stan

    That will only work for file types that Windows understands, which I believe is limited to mp3 and WMA by default. However, if you turn on dMC Explorer Columns, turn on the dMC column for the data you want and dMC will show the data it pulls from the file.

      Thanks!

      After you pointed that out, I can see it with existing
      MP3 files.

      Now, to find out how to get dBpoweramp to translate
      spaces to underscores when generating filenames...

        Re: spaces/underscores

        Hmm...I see I'm not the first to ask for that

        Suggestion: [title_] would mean [title] + translate
        spaces to underscores. (A somewhat special purpose
        kludge, but an easy one to implement, probably less new
        coding then adding an EAC-like checkbox "[ ] translate blanks to underscores in filenames" (which would be
        simpler to use).

        thanks,

        Stan
