Hi, as mentioned in the above post the functionality of replacing all the <,> to <;> would be useful especially since MM3 recognizes it as multiple artists.

Can someone please provide the script for this if its available.....

Thanks

What happened to this script? Please develop it, it will be very useful for switching to MM3 (I need to convert comma separated artists to semi-colon separated artists).

@DiddeLeeDoo,

I am interested in such a script but could not find it here. Did I miss something or did you stop development ?

Another improvement would be a feature which allows to choose, whether the replacement should take place (like in Word or similar MS products).

Thanks for a short update on this. It sounds as great work.

Kind regards
Joe

To do underscores, simply write in

Code: Select all

Search for  : _        
Replace with: hit the space bar once

The script will then find underscores and replace them with a space.

Try it with selecting one song first, and run the script, and see how you go.

Do more if it works ok for you.

The 'Undo Volume Analyzing' script feature the same 'formula' and I just used that script to do 15,252 mp3's in one go. Worked fine with no strain on the CPU.

I believe the current v1.21 of this script is fairly bug free at the moment, but I'll run more testing, plus add more features a bit later on.

If anyone happened to get 1.20 b c or d please replace with 1.20e

That's it, lunch break over ... more another day.

Bad idea to share a developing version without testing it too much. Just ran a test of various features and found an error....

Will try to clean out this error and spend an hour with it now.

Removed a line in 1.20c, that shouldn't be there. This should be a working version, but I feel a bit unfinished about it all. Use it to have a play for now..

by **DiddeLeeDoo** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 3:17 am

I agree with that, and that is something that can be done. I just dropped in that version in the 'works' at the moment, in the first post.

Haven't had much time to test it. The code have one of those functions at the moment.

If you use * in the Find what, you basically set values with the Replace with value.

Leave the Find what blank, and it will find fields that are blank, and set values for those only.

More stuff will be added too, and I hoping for some time next week do that, and also add an 'undo' function, so you can have a play without being too afraid of stuffing it up.

BTW, it would be nice if it had the same function as in word for windows, this ? or * to replace any kind of letters with a space, e.g.; search for *_*, replace with
* *......., to fix all this annoing the_night_I_was_alone type of things......

OK, I understand.........So I'll just wait patiently.....you just keep up your good work........when you have the time.....

I'm just bitten by the 'scripting bug' and it's fun to be able to 'think it - do it'

I took this script out due to I found it took far too much CPU power when doing thousands of files. Used it to do some thousand files here, and it brought my computer to it's knees.

Played around with it yesterday, and found a way to avoid the heavy CPU load, and will post an updated version here as soon as time allow.

Will also go trough possible fields and all that...

Have a bit much 'real work' to do these days, so updates to scripts here are not happening as fast as I would like.

This seems to be a great script DiddeLeeDoo, something I miss in MM...But where can I download it???????? Cannot see it anywhere here in this topic for download.....Or, do I overlooking something???

BTW, thank you so much for all the improvements you are doing for the use of MM....You are The Man!!!!!!
