Re: accessible mp3 tag program
Hi, I can't thank you enough for all the time and work you put in to this help. I think I got it all set up to do what I want but... hmm how do I tell the program to go on and perform the actions? At 02:47 PM 1/7/2006 -0500, you wrote: Hi, Kevin: On Fri, 06 Jan 2006 19:40:30 -0600, you wrote: Can you please give some step by step help on having the mp3 tags filled in from the file names? Surely. I assume we're talking about MP3 Tag Studio here, yes? If so, read on. First thing to do is put all your files on which you want to work in a directory (single, hierarchy, it doesn't matter). Second, when you installed MP3 Tag Studio, you should have checked the box that says integrate into the command menu structure or shell or whatever it's called. That way you will find an option on the File menu in Windows Explorer for MP3 tag Studio. If so, go into that menu and use the first item, Edit this directory in MP3 Tag Studio. If you didn't do this, then you'll just run MP3 Tag Studio by pressing the Windows key, P for Programs, then M until you hit MP3 Tag Studio submenu or pulldown. Go into the submenu and find MP3 Tag Studio and press enter to start it. Once inside, you must then browse to the folder where your files are in the usual manner by pressing the Browse button and navigating to the folder ihn question. Note that, to open a folder, you have to position your mouse cursor on the foldername and double-click it. Third, now that we're inside MP3 Tag Studio with the proper folder selected, it's time to set up a couple important things. . Make sure the Use advanced options checkbox is checked. . If your files are in several directories under the directory you're in, make sure the recurse or use subdirectories checkbox is checked. . There's an additional checkbox to process both ID3 V1 and V2 tags. If checked, both format tags are written and V2 is used to extract data for file renames. Fourth, about in the middle of the screen, three or four tabs down from the top is a horizontal list of buttons you have to click with the mouse or mouse function in your screenreader. One of them is called Rename files from tags, one is called Tag files from filenames. It is important to understand that these two options are the opposites of each other. One will rename your files based on the tags, one will tag them based on the names. The names must all be in a certain format, which you specify about two or three lines down. The screen says Field separator sequence, and right across from it on the right side of the screen is an edit field. Click anywhere in the edit field to bring the focus directly to it. The output format is a series of tokens--special keywords enclosed in less-than and greater-than signs, which tell MP3TS the format in which you want the filename built or the format the filename is in to extract tag information. Keywords are: Tracknr -- Track number Title -- track title Artist -- Track recording or performance artist Album -- Album name Year -- Year the album was produced. Genre -- Just about anything you want to put in as long as it's only one word. Comment -- any additional information to be provided Trash -- Characters to be omitted when processing. \ -- The backslash between directories in a path. For instance, an output format specification for tagging MP3 files from filenames could look like this: Artist\Album\Tracknr - Title.mp3 This tells MP3TS when it finds a file to look back up the directory structure two levels and get the artist field name from that directory, then the album field from the name of the next directory down, then the two-digit track number from the string of characters up to the space dash space, then the title from the remaining set of characters up to but not including, of course, the .mp3 part of the filename. Note you can also make this string by right-clicking on it and choosing parts of it from the drop-down menu. Note that you could theoretically use the same output format specification to rename some files with good tags and put them in a directory structure just like the one I just described--artist, then album, then tracks within that album. Fifth and finally, about the Trash keyword, this is useful where you want MP3TS to ignore strings. For instance, in albums that span discs, I break them up into their individual discs into directories with names like Disc 1, Disc 2, etc. When I want to tag these files, I use the Trash keyword to tell MP3TS to ignore this and drop down to the next lower level to find the next thing, like this: Artist\Album\Trash\Tracknr Title.mp3 would work if I had, say, a directory of albums by Cream, an album of theirs called Wheels of Fire which is a two-disc album, and a directory (Disc1, Disc 2) for each of the two discs, then the song files in each directory.

Subject: Re: Sound Forge 8 and Noise Reduction Questions I initially forgot a couple steps, very important. After you've recorded your stereo file with each track/side in the left and right channels, you need to select the entire file and copy it to the clip board and paste it into another window, one which is mono so the sound will be in the center. OOPS, sorry about that. You can do all the processing if you wish first before you do the pasting into your mono file, but it is important if you can, to put markers while the initial recording is being made when the cassette sides end so you can find them in an 8 side file, for example, which is just about the limit for fat32 (at 44,100Hz at 16bit stereo), if you use that format on your hard drive. So, let's say you've recorded your stereo file, 2 cassettes long which is about 3 hours, (probably 2:56 or so), select it all, then paste it into your mono file. First, the left channel, then the right channel. When you reverse the right channel, after you've done that, your 11 hour file will look like this; again after you've sampled down to 22,050Hz in mono, side 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 3, 4, (from least to most time, left to right.

The markers, though you made them going forward, after you've reversed the right channel, the markers will be close to where the reversed sides begin' or' end, but you'll have to hunt a bit. Make new markers at the beginning and end of where you wish to create your regions, so in that way if the left or right end of the region area gets lost or unselected, you can readily find it again.

After you've recorded your stereo file with each track/side in the left and right channels, you need to select the entire file and copy it to the clip board and paste it into another window, one which is mono so the sound will be in the center. OOPS, sorry about that. You can do all the processing if you wish first before you do the pasting into your mono file, but it is important if you can, to put markers while the initial recording is being made when the cassette sides end so you can find them in an 8 side file, for example, which is just about the limit for fat32 (at 44,100Hz at 16bit stereo), if you use that format on your hard drive. So, let's say you've recorded your stereo file, 2 cassettes long which is about 3 hours, (probably 2:56 or so), select it all, then paste it into your mono file. First, the left channel, then the right channel. When you reverse the right channel, after you've done that, your 11 hour file will look like this; again after you've sampled down to 22,050Hz in mono, side 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 3, 4, (from least to most time, left to right. I label each region paying very close attention to the narrator so the numbers coincide, but I don't keep him saying side 2, side 3, etc. and also I don't keep, this book is up to 4 sides per cassette, or so many pages on so many sides, in digital format, (again just my opinion, it is not needed, and, to skip such and such in this book, fast forward until a beep is heard, stop at that point to hear
Re: Sound Forge 8 and Noise Reduction Questions
I bet studio recorder is expensive as SF, they barely added dynamic compression and mixing. I think it only accepts 44.1 sample rate, if you feed it 48k, some programs do want to output to that by default, don't think it will work. - Original Message - From: Jerry Richer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Most of the things that Sound Forge can do that Goldwave can't are not even understood by most people, me included. Not so long ago Sound Forge cost three times what it does now. Liken it to a cell phone. I have a cheap cell phone. I place and receive calls. Some people do the same thing with a Blackberry and that's all they use it for. As far as those people are concerned both devices do the same thing so why should they spend $500 when they can get by for $20? Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com !
