I wonder if this script can rename my files. I have the following structure:
Folder: Artist - Album (Year) or only
Artist - Album
Files: Track# - Tittel
And I want this filestructure: Artist - Album - Track# - Tittel
Regards

I suppose you are asking about RegExp Find & Replace script. Yes, it can rename files, but for such simple example like yours, it could be easier to use the Auto-Organize option. Anyway, if you are still interested, here are settings:
Find what:

Code: Select all

(.+\\)([^\\]+?)\\([^\\]+?\.[^\.\\]+)$
Into: Path
Regular expression 1: checked
Replace with:

Code: Select all

"$1" & SDB.Tools.FileSystem.CorrectFilename(oSongData.ArtistName & " - " & oSongData.AlbumName) & " - $3"
VBScript expression: checked

The Replace with string could be simpler if you don't want to remove the "(Year)" part from the filename:

Code: Select all

"$1$2 - $3"

Yes, it is possible, but you should be more specific. Did you try the "Assign the Disc number from the part of the Album name" preset?

If the album contains two or more discs, I have the disknumber in the filename.
<Artist> - <Album> CD1 - <Track#> - <Tittel>

But I want to tag the disc# (CD1) to 01, not CD1...
Understand???? :-?

No, I don't understand. What you want to modify, path/filename or tags? If you want to modify filename and or folders, how they looks now and how do you want they should look after modification? How currently looks your Album and Disc # tags? Did you try the "Assign the Disc number from the part of the Album name" preset?

I am sorry, but I cannot read you mind. If you don't have a time to answer to all my questions, I could not help you.

If you want to change only Disc # tags, which allready contains data in form CDx, then simply enter CD as the Find what string and leave the Replace string empty. If you want Disc # tags with leading zero, just choose the "Add the leading zero to the single-digit Track number" preset and change the Into drop-down to Disc #. Understand????
