Multiple (album) artists and file naming

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

We are not due to beta another version of dBp for a good number of weeks or even months.

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

Hey Spoon,

if you put as:

[tags]album artist,_COMMA_ []

it works, but in:

[IFVALUE]album artist,[tags]album artist,_COMMA_[],NO ALBUM ARTIST[]

Will mark as a future bug.

any chance, that we will see a beta version with a fix in the next weeks? I got stuck with my work and workflow and look forward to the fix.

I think we are in agreement, i.e. there IS a bug

Oh yes, in this point we do agree - even with Spoon!

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

thanks for your effort, but I have to disagree. It is not the [tags]<element>,delimiter[] that does not work, it is the parser itself or the keyword "_COMMA_ " that does not work.

Thanks for the information.

Will we have [tags] and "_COMMA_" in Arrage Audio in the near future? Or shall I write this in the wishlist?

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

Hey mville,

I would need to see the full naming string and see exactly what album artist is populated with.

the full naming strings can be seen in my first posting.

... further testing shows that you cannot use the [tags]<element>,delimiter[] function within the [IFVALUE]tag,strifvalue,strnovalue[] function

thanks for your effort, but I have to disagree. It is not the [tags]<element>,delimiter[] that does not work, it is the parser itself or the keyword "_COMMA_ " that does not work. See the following example, which is the same as yesterday but with a longer explanation and coming straight to the point:

For the example I've chosen the CD "The Chopin Project" of the artists Ólafur Arnalds and Alice Sara Ott. The album artist entry in the metadata is "Ólafur Arnalds; Alice Sara Ott" (without the quotation marks).

The next screenshot shows the file naming dialog of CD Ripper for that CD. For convenience I just refer to the album artist in that example, without bulding up a full name string containing information about the song titel itself. In the first example I use "- " (minus) as delimiter for the [tags] function. As you can see, both artist appear delimited by "- " in the resulting naming - just as expected.



Next I just changed the delimiter from "- " to "_COMMA_ ". But now the result shows only the first of the two album artists.



So from my point of view it is not the use of [tags] function within the [IFVALUE] function - that is ok, except one uses the "_COMMA_" function as a delimiter.

Hey mville, hey Spoon,

now I've tested "_COMMA_ " with dBpa R15.3 64bit without success.

Hey mville, hey Spoon,

now I've tested "_COMMA_ " with dBpa R15.3 64bit without success.

Here are two screenshot of the filenaming in CD Ripper (same CD, two album artists separated by "; "):

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

Hey mville,

thanks for your input.

dBpoweramp R15.3 64-bit

That is the difference, as I'm using R15.3 32bit. And maybe that is the reason, why it works for you, but not for me. I will test it tonight.

@Spoon: Do you know about any problems with "_COMMA_ " in R15.3 32bit?

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

I'm still using the 32bit version. What about you?

dBpoweramp R15.3 64-bit

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

[tags]album artist,_COMMA_ [] works for me in CDRipper (dBpoweramp R15.3)

I'm still using the 32bit version. What about you?

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

I've tried to follow mvilles tipp to use "_COMMA_ " within [tags]. But as far I can see "_COMMA_ " does not work in CD Ripper's filenaming and not in Batch converter's filenaming.

Hey Spoon,

I've tried to follow mvilles tipp to use "_COMMA_ " within [tags]. But as far I can see "_COMMA_ " does not work in CD Ripper's filenaming and not in Batch converter's filenaming. In the following example I just see the name of the first album artist:

[IFVALUE]album artist,[tags]album artist,_COMMA_ [],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track] [title]

while I see all album artists separated by "- " in this example:

[IFVALUE]album artist,[tags]album artist,- [],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track] [title]

I've tested with V15.3.

PS: Will we see [tags] and "_COMMA_" in "Arrange Audio" in the near future?

Re: Multiple (album) artists and file naming

Hey mville,

I have to correct myself and my first response. I still have problem with the batch converter. "_COMMA_ " does not work with the batch converter.
