Changing Filenames using IDTags

[Anonymous]

I figured out how to auto change all my file names using the “Correct Filenames from Tags” feature.

But

What I want to do is have it only use the Artist and Song Title, not things such as Album, Track Number, Etc.

When I goto “Rename File Settings” and adjust the Mask to only include
%A-%C it just ignores my settings. Then when I save those settings and come back later, I have to redo it.

Does the Mask not allow this tweaking?

Great program by the way…

I’ve used MPFreaker and Filetunes. MPFreaker found 1/2 of what Jaikoz found, Fixtunes didn’t work at all.

If only it would find Album Artwork also, After I use Jaikox to fix the Tags I’m having to use FetchArt or Corripio to find album art.

Hi, this issue has come up a couple of times but try as I might I cannot reproduce it, and therefore fix it. Could you provide me with some more information:
As I understand it you select:
‘Action Settings/File and Folder Correct Settings/Rename File Settings’
You then enter %A -%C into the entry box and tab out
It becomes %A-%C.mp3
You then click on the ‘OK’ button.
If you then go back to this menu is it still %A-%C.mp3 or has it gone back to what it was previously ?
If you then close Jaikoz, do you answer yes to ‘Save Settings’ (you need to)
When you restart Jaikoz, what is the value in the menu now ?

Can you also send your jaikozuser0-0.log and jaikozdebug0-0.log to support @ jthink dot net.

Thanks, I am releasing a new version of Jaikoz on March 10th which wont include album art downloading, but then it is the first thing I will be doing for the next release.

I found the problem…I followed your instructions exactly.

“You then enter %A -%C into the entry box and tab out

You then click on the ‘OK’ button”

It was the TAB OUT part I was missing. I had no clue you needed to do that. I was just hitting OK.

It works like a charm now.

Also, any idea why after I run Jaikoz on a list of files and save the changed files, it fills the comment box with nonsense?

For example: This is what the Comments section in Itunes looks like on Eric Claptons - UnPlugged - Running On Faith I did just seconds ago.

“0000039C 000003B0 00001BF4 00001214 0002BF37 0002E65E 00007B17 000076F6 0004940E 0004940E”

Finally, thanks for adding Album art in the future. Can I recommed that it add it to the file itself and not just to the itunes directory. That way when I take my files from my Mac to my wifes PC I’ll still have the artowrk? Also can we see the pixel size before we choose, and can the artowrk come from several sources. (sorry, I know it’s a lot to ask)

Do you have any recommedations in the meantime of artwork finders that actually embed the artwork into the mp3tag?

I’ve tried:
GimmieSomeTune
AmazonArtWidget
AlbumArtWidget
Clutter
FixTunes
Curator
MPFreaker
FetchArt
Corripio

Only MPFreaker will embed the art work it finds, but Jaikoz blows it out of the water on finding the missing ID tag info!

Any suggestions you have would be great.

Thanks, actually it turns out you only need to tab out on the Mac version, Ive fixed this for this weeks release,

It isn’t Jaikoz that is writing this comment, this is what ITunes writes. ITunes uses COMM frames to store a number of non-standard properties such as ‘Is Gapless album’. But from your first post I thought you were saying that Jaikoz was displaying the value incorrectly, in which case can you show me what this value should be?

It will add the artwork directly to the tag, I was going to try to automate it so you dont have to choose anything, but I would provide options so you could default to small/large image sizes ecetera.

As for sources, I need to do more research to decide what sources to use, and I dont know what to recommend anything to use in the meantime.
