after failing some time ago to use Songkong with an itunes library on my NAS i decided to give SongKong another run…this time without the itunes option enabled and some changes in my structure how i wanna organize my collection.
i played with several options so far and i am now on a starting point from where it does pretty much that what i want(except for the unmatched of course).
so my matching folder and filename masks (use the same for compilation and rename) looks actually like this=
+ '' + (year.length>4 ? year.substring(0,4):year) +' '
+ ifnotempty(album,'')
+ ifnotempty(discsubtitle,'')
+ '/'
+ ifnotempty(discno,' - ')
+ ifnotempty(pad(trackno,2),' - ')
+ ifnotempty(artist,' - ')
+ ifnotempty(title,'')
and gets me an output like this
U2/1980 Boy/1 - 02 - U2 - Twilight
this is ok except for my Various Artist Artist and/or Compilations i guess this is just a simple thing can be done with some java knowledge
in the end i would love to have a folder structure like this for Albums=
/FullAlbums/U2/1980 Boy/1 - 02 - U2 -Twilight
like this for singles=
/Singles/U2/1980 Boy/1 - 02 - U2 -Twilight
and another one for compilations but sortet by Label=
/Various/KilleKill/2012 Killekill Megahits/1 - 03 - J.T.C. - Crush Arbor
how can i archive this… i try to figure out some good workflows with the unmatched folder and will report them soon here… so far i got nearly 10k unmatched files
some are simple does not exists in the databases but some do and i need to figure out why they are not renamed yet…
sometimes it helps to choose a smaller folder by folder approach and what i noticed it that u have to run several times over the same folder and it matched more and more…
thanks for any helping so far and this awesome piece of software
