    Question dBpowerAmp Mac R15.3 : how to replace all file names containing a : to ; ?

    Hello,

    I've encoded a lot of CDs under OS X, some have a ":" in the file name, and under windows I have problems.

    Please how can I replace the ":" that are in the filenames with a ";" ?

    Thank you

    Eric

    Is it only the filename or do any of the tags contain the ":"?

    If it is possible, replace ":" with ";" in both filename and tags.

    Thanks,

    Which tag contains the ":" and can you provide a filename example?

    ... also, can you describe your setup? Where is the audio library located?

    OK, Fantasia Suite for Two Guitars: Viva la Danzarina looks like the title, is that correct?

    What I am thinking is:
    ID Tag Update utility codec >> Manipulation >> Word / Character Replacement >> replace : with ;

    then, use the Arrange Audio utility codec to rebuild the filename, from the artist, track, album and title tags.

    However, I am not sure now if dBpoweramp Music Converter for the Mac has the utility codecs. Can you confirm?

    There is also a simple solution to this problem using MP3Tag for the Mac, but it requires running MP3Tag under Wine, something I am not familiar with as I am a Windows user.

    ... and if anyone knows of a bulk renamer for the Mac, then this would fix the filename issue.

    The mac version of dBpoweramp does not have Utility codecs.

    dBpoweramp created these files?
