let's say my folder is: c:\music\Dave Alvin 1994-10-27 - The Marquee - Buffalo, NY\ Open files in mp3 tag. Select all. Then select CONVERT > Filename to Tag, then in the format string enter: %album%\%dummy% This should produce an album tag of: Dave Alvin - 1994-10-27 - The Marquee - Buffalo, NY (that is, whatever is in that first last directory name becomes your album tag. Everything else should stay the same (that's the purpose of %dummy%). Open something up and try it. Once you're happy it works ok, you can do this in a batch. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104423 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
