Adding tags

[Herne's Son]

I want to add the Rating tag to all of my flac & mp3 files. I have a list to what I want the tag for each song to be set at and I can easy set up a batch file for the tag update for each song using coreconverter. If I use the Music Converter with [ID Tag Update] in windows for an individual file and add the Ratings tag it works. If I try it using the CLI as follows:

coreconverter.exe -infile="E:\Ripped CDs\3 Dog Night\The Best Of 3 Dog Night\02 - Easy To Be Hard.flac" -outfile="E:\Ripped CDs\3 Dog Night\The Best Of 3 Dog Night\02 - Easy To Be Hard.flac" -convert_to="[ID Tag Update]" -tag="Rating=4"

the file updates but the Rating tag is not updated. When I do this to mp3 files the ID tag is updated from ID3v1.0 to ID3v2.0, but the Rating tag is not added. If I change the -convert_to="[ID Tag Update]" to be -convert_to="FLAC" the files recompress and the Rating tag is added.

I would rather just update the tags as opposed to recompressing all of my music. Does the -tag just not work with the [ID Tag Update] in the CLI?

Re: Adding tags

You need:

-tag="Rating={qt}4{qt}", also the Update ID Tag would not work in this instance as the -tag would not be set as you are not converting the FLAC file. So either convert the flac file >> flac, or drop -tag and add the tag value into the Update ID Tag setting CLI.

Re: Adding tags

I can't seem to find any mention of an Update Tag ID setting for the CLI in the help files. Where is this and any other settings mentioned?

You don't need to put in the {qt}, it works almost fine without them. It does divide the rating by 2, so the 4 I entered is saved as 2 in the tag.

Re: Adding tags

DSPs are not documented, but if you add a DSP effect in CD Ripper to the settings you want then see how CD Ripper saves the cli string:

HKCU\Software\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\cdripper\profi les\[profile]

Re: Adding tags

The right tags are barely visible in light grey in the DSP Effects / Actions box. In this case it is :

-add0="Rating=8"

Thanks
