ID Tag / Rule Based Manipulation syntax error

[musicjunky]

Hi,

I have ref 13.5 with ID Tag Update beta release 3.

My FLAC files are tagged in Jaikoz. For number of discs and number of tracks, it uses DISCTOTAL and TRACKTOTAL.

When I convert to MP3, I am trying to map those tags to the format used by ID3v23, Track X/Y and Disc X/Y.

In the DSP Setting, I clicked Rule Based Manipulation and set the following:

IF DISCTOTAL=[anyvalue]
SET Disc=[Disc]/[DISCTOTAL]

IF TRACKTOTAL=[anyvalue]
SET Track=[Track]/[TRACKTOTAL]

However, this does not work unfortunately. [DISCTOTAL] and [TRACKTOTAL] are written literally as [DISCTOTAL] and [TRACKTOTAL], rather than the actual disc and track totals.

For example, I have a FLAC file with the following tags:

Disc: 01
DISCTOTAL: 02

Track: 05
TRACKTOTAL: 10

Using the method above, the resulting tags are written as:

Disc: 01/DISCTOTAL

Track: 05/TRACKTOTAL

They should be:

Disc: 01/02
Track: 05/10


Can this be fixed?

thanks!

It is a design limitation which currently cannot be got around.

arrgh i was afraid of that...

any other ideas on how to solve? i love your program and am a customer

in foobar2000 1.03 i got masstagger to do what i wanted as far as turning disc and track counts into x/y format, but then it also messed with other tags from dbpoweramp: it transformed the Year tag to Date and ID3v23 from UTF-16 to ANSI. (in writer-compatibility mode, otherwise it automatically tries to turn ID3v23 into ID3v24 and that's a whole other ball of wax!)

thanks!

Not sure, sorry.
