 |
|
Has anyone got a quick an easy way to rename mp3 folders from:
Artist - Album\TrackNo - Track Name
to:
Artist\Album\TrackNo - Track Name
I know it's probably extremely easy, but scripting is definitely not one of my strong points. Thx!!!! |

Nice program (will now be my default renamer), but it doesn't quite achieve the folder renaming scenario. I found this in the mailing list:

At the present time, you can't do it. Only is supported renaming file
from the tag, but it's a already a requested feature. |
The search continues.  |

|
|
Here's a perl script that I believe does what you want. I commented out the actual mkdir and move commands so you can run it and make sure the printed functions are correct. If they are what you want just remove the # before the mkdir and system lines. | Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $basedir=".";
my ($origdir, @files);
opendir(DIRLIST, $basedir) || die "Could not open directory: $basedir: $!";
my @origdirs = map { (/^[^.]/ && -d "$basedir/$_")?$_:() } readdir(DIRLIST);
foreach (@origdirs)
{
print "For $basedir/$_\n";
$_ =~ /(.*?)\s-\s(.*)/;
print "Make $basedir/$1/$2\n";
# mkdir "$basedir/$1" || die "Could not make directory: $!";
# mkdir "$basedir/$1/$2" || die "Could not make directory: $!";
print "Moving files from $basedir/$_/* to $basedir/$1/$2\n\n";
# system("mv \"$basedir/$_\"/* \"$basedir/$1/$2\"");
}
close DIRLIST;
|
You should set $basedir to the directory that contains the "Artist - Album" directories. Here is some sample output from a test I ran: | Quote: | For ./Artist One - Album 1
Make ./Artist One/Album 1
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 1/* to ./Artist One/Album 1
For ./Artist One - Album 2
Make ./Artist One/Album 2
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 2/* to ./Artist One/Album 2
For ./Artist One - Album 3
Make ./Artist One/Album 3
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 3/* to ./Artist One/Album 3
For ./Artist One - Album 4
Make ./Artist One/Album 4
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 4/* to ./Artist One/Album 4
For ./Artist One - Album 5
Make ./Artist One/Album 5
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 5/* to ./Artist One/Album 5
For ./Artist One - Album 6
Make ./Artist One/Album 6
Moving files from ./Artist One - Album 6/* to ./Artist One/Album 6
For ./Artist 2 - Album Seven
Make ./Artist 2/Album Seven
Moving files from ./Artist 2 - Album Seven/* to ./Artist 2/Album Seven
|
Hopefully this is what you were looking for,
Doug
PS: You may want to back up the directory tree before running the scipt with the mkdir and system lines uncommented. It's much better to be safe than run into a problem when it's too late to fix. |

Sorry for the old thread bump. But this was a problem I was having too. I don't know why easytag doesn't support this feature. In any case. I've written a python script which does this dynamically and can use any portion of the ID3 tag when naming files. Don't forget to change the base directory.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/python
import sys,os,os.path,string
from output import *
from ID3 import *
# Defaults
formatString = "%b/%a/%d/%n-%t.mp3"
baseDir = "/mnt/media/Music/Testing"
strings = {};
strings['b'] = baseDir
# Mode Variables
organise = 0
strip = 0
look = 0
def help():
print "Usage:"
print " mp3tool [ options ] [ files... ]"
print "Options: -[ocslf=[format string]]"
print " --format=[format string] (-f=[format string] short option)"
print " If this option is not used the format string defaults to %s" % formatString
print " These variables may be used in the format string:"
print " Base Directory %%b (defaults to %s)" % baseDir
print " Title %t"
print " Artist %a"
print " Album %d"
print " Tracknumber %n"
print " Genre %g"
print " Year %y"
print " Comment %c"
print " NOTES: No white space is allowed in the format string!"
print " Don't forget the .mp3 extension! It is not automatically added."
print " --organise (-o short option)"
print " Organise and rename files into directories using the format string."
print " --strip (-s short option)"
print " Strip a file of its ID3 tag."
print " --look (-l short option)"
print " Display a file's ID3 tag."
def convertFormat(fstring):
pos = 0
for letter in fstring:
if letter == '%':
fstring = fstring[:pos+1] + '(' + fstring [pos+1] + ')s' + fstring [pos+2:]
pos = pos + 3
pos = pos + 1
return fstring

easytag does do this, see the "rename file" scanner.
as pointed out in this thread, easytag does lack the ability to automatically rename _directories_ but not files.

| I'm aware of the rename scanner in easytag. I'm also aware that it doesn't rename or work with directories at all. My script can handle directories and thats why I wrote it. |
