Hello there! Had anyone found a way to replace the album title to “(YYYY)-Album Title”. I’m kind of order-freak and like to sort each artist from older to newer. At this time I do it by hand, but I’m sure my Jaikoz (bought years ago) would help me.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Album rename to "(YYYY)-Tilte"
I dont quite understand the request, songs already have a year field which stores the release date of release so why cant you just your songs by that field
Hi Paula! And thanks on your answer!
I’m aware there’s a field storing Release Year. What I’m looking for is to concatenate this field into the Album Name, so when I’m on iTunes or other program I’d be able to see each album sorted instead of by name, by year.
It’s kind of when you “Rename File from Metadata”, where you can put the fields in a particular way so the output contains your values, but instead to rename the file, renaming the albums.
At this time, after jaikoz looks like:
Artist
-Album A
-Album B
-Album C
After that, I edit each and every album name to look like:
Artist
-(1974)-Album B
-(1975)-Album A
-(1976)-Album C
Being able to do so automatically would be awesome!
Thanks again!!!
Right, well iTunes also has the Year field so I don’t understand why you cant just sort by the Year field like everyone else. Also if you put the Year into the Title field then any subsequent attempt to automatch those songs will probably fail because your title no longer just contains the title.
But if you really want to do this:
- Make sure Album and Year fields are both visible in the main display, and order them so that Year column is the the column to the right of Album column.
- Select all rows in both columns
- Select Edit/Prepend to Left will prepend the value from the right column (Year) to the corresponding field on the left column (Album)
