I'll take a look at your suggestions, thanks.
However I disagree that ffmpeg isn't the correct tool. It allows read/write access to the metadata. I can add track titles to the files, just not unique ones, automatically.

Something seems amiss.

I personally think that ffmpeg is not the right tool for this. I would opt for creating tags after the files have been created with a command line tag editor like operon or if you prefer a gui Ex-falso. check https://quodlibet-frestr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/commands/operon.html

Hi

I've successfully split a .mp3 file & given it unique names using "XX_%02d.mp3" in the following command: (XX_01, XX_02 etc.)

How do I perform similar for the file's title or track? -metadata title="YY_%02d" gives the file the literal title name of YY%02d. How can I get the -metadata command to accept the numerical coding?

ffmpeg -i "input.mp3" -c copy -segment_time 500 -f segment -segment_start_number 1 -metadata title="YY_%02d" -metadata track="YY%02d" "XX_%02d.mp3"

Cheers
