Dynamic Tagging in Batch Converter
Hi,
I am using the latest version 2022-09-28
I am using complex tagging instuctions to get my wished folder structure. But I have often problems with a - it seems special - tag "AlbumArtistSort" and it seems as if the usage of this tag depends on the origin file format and/or the resulting format. By the Way: The result has the correct tags - only building the dynamic name is not working
For FLAC I can use this expression in dynmaic naming:
[CODE][IFVALUE][tag]ALBUMARTISTSORT[],[tag]ALBUMARTISTSORT[],[album artist][][/CODE]
Now I bought mp3 audiobooks that I have tagged as usual in Mp3Tag with ALBUMARTISTSORT to get my ususal structures - but it is [B]not used[/B] by the dynamic naming!
When I right click on a file in the batch converter (Edit ID Tags) I get this Tags shown
Album Artist = Moritz Matthies
Composer = Moritz Matthies
Album Artist Sort = Matthies, Moritz
BOOKCATEGORY = Komödie
BOOKSET = Ray & Rufus die Erdmännchen
BOOKSET NO = 6
BOOKTITLE = Der Wald ruft
(see also the screenshot)
The BOOK* Tags are user defined, i use them also in Foobar
Because the function about the Artist name (above) is always showing the "normal" Album Artist, I created a sample / Testing naming code:
[CODE]A-[tag]BOOKCATEGORY[]\B-[BOOKCATEGORY]\C-[Album Artist]\D-[tag]ALBUMARTISTSORT[]\[track] [title][/CODE]
Edit Window shows
[CODE]A-\B-[BOOKCATEGORY]\C-Album Artist\D-\05 Title[/CODE]
so it seems only [Album Artist] and the track/title is recognized, ALBUMARTISTSORT is replaced by space/null
Encoding/Writing filename
[CODE]A-Komödie\B-[BOOKCATEGORY]\C-Moritz Matthies\D-\01 Kapitel 1.ogg[/CODE]
surprise - [tag]BOOKCATEGORY[] has resolved, and the rest of the Name as the preview of the edit
I am wondering, why this works with FLAC and not with MP3?
For me it would be clear that I can use the tags you show in the "Edit ID Tags" - but it seems there are trick around it, that I dont know.
My work around is creating the folde Structure in Mp3Tag and then using "[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][][]\[origfilename]" for the batch converter
But to be honest, it took me much time to create my folder dynamic naming in dBpoweramp, why is this depending on the source format?
Best regards
Wolfgang
Re: Dynamic Tagging in Batch Converter
Try:
[tag]ALBUM ARTIST SORT[]
Re: Dynamic Tagging in Batch Converter
Or convert the tag from “Album Artist Sort” to “AlbumArtistSort” with no spaces.
Re: Dynamic Tagging in Batch Converter
Sorry for the late answer
DYNAMIC NAMING DIALOG / EXAMPLE BOX
[tag]ALBUM ARTIST SORT[] --> Results in no value in Example box (space)
[Album Artist Sort] --> Result = "[Album Artist Sort]" in Example box
[AlbumArtistSort] --> Result = "[AlbumArtistSort]" in Example box
ENCODE
As a test I use this Dynamic Tagging:
[tag]ALBUM ARTIST SORT[]-[Album Artist Sort]-[AlbumArtistSort]-[track] [title]
and the encoded Files are
Matthies, Moritz-[Album Artist Sort]-[AlbumArtistSort]-01 Kapitel 1.ogg
Matthies, Moritz-[Album Artist Sort]-[AlbumArtistSort]-02 Kapitel 2.ogg
Matthies, Moritz-[Album Artist Sort]-[AlbumArtistSort]-03 Kapitel 3.ogg
Matthies, Moritz-[Album Artist Sort]-[AlbumArtistSort]-04 Kapitel 4.ogg
So here the "[tag]ALBUM ARTIST SORT[]" is working as expected! Thank you Spoon
But please check Dynamic Naming Window, Example Box should also show the correct value
