Add Last two digits in year to the mp3 title

[dzangger67]

I would like to have all my mp3's include the year (YY) at the end of the titles. For example, Song Title (21) If the year is 9999, I don't want anything appended to the title. I tried the following in the Music Converter (ID Tag Update) but nothing happens.

Title [IF!EQUALS]Year,9999,([RIGHT]2,year[])[]

Is there somewhere specific this needs to be done? I saw an older post about using mp3tag but I would much prefer to use dBpoweramp if I can.

Thank you for your help

In MP3Tag, I came up with this:

$if($neql(%year%,9999),$replace(%title%,($right(%y ear%,2)),) ($right(%year%,2)),%title%)

I was hoping to prevent the year from being added over and over... Like Song Title (21) (21)

It seems to work but I would love a solution using the batch conversion application.

Thank you

It looks like Rule Based Manipulation may be what you're after, the problem is the documentation is very sparse so I don't know if there's a Not Equals.

IF Year=9999
SET TITLE=[Title] [RIGHT]2,[Year][]

If year had been missing instead of 9999 you could have used:

IF Year=[anyvalue]

Maybe someone can help with the syntax.

Try

[IF!EQUALS]year,9999,[title] ([RIGHT]2,[year][])[][IFEQUALS]year,9999,[title][]

thanks for your time in helping. I've tried many different things and nothing updates the Title tag. I guess it's going to be Mp3Tag. Thank you all very much.
