Folder renaming

Hi im trying to rename my folder structures using Jaikoz instead of manually.what im after is …

Artist-Album
trackno(01)-tracktitle

Artist-Album
Cd01
trackno-title

Also when i load a folder and check for missing MBID i cant get back to the original screen of the loaded folder i have to close Jaikoz and reload the folder again

One last question some of releases are tagged badly so they show in Foobar as individual tracks

is it possible to have this be checked and corrected auto or what is the right way of correcting these other than wiping metadata

I assumed you only wanted to show discno if it was from a multidisc album in which case I think the following will work for you:

function pad(number, length) {
      if (number == '') { return '';} 
      var str = '' + number; 
      while (str.length < length) {  
          str = '0' + str;
      }
      return str;
  }
 
 function ifnotempty(value,sep){
     return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '';
 }
 
 function ifnotempty2(value1,value2,sep){
     return value1.length > 0 ? value1 + sep :value2.length > 0 ? value2 + sep:'' ;
 }
 
function ifmultidisc(value) {
   if(disctotal>1)
   {
      return value;
   }
   else
   {
      return "";
   }
}
 ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,' - ') + ifnotempty(album,' - ') + ifnotempty(ifmultidisc(pad(discno,2)),' ')  + ifnotempty(pad(trackno,2),' - ') + title

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean here, could you try reexplaining.

Use the tag browser to just list the songs you want to be part of one album, then use Action:Match to Release:Match to One Musicbrainz Release and then Jaikoz will attempt to match them as one release. If Jaikoz does not manage to do this but you have found the release in MusicBrainz you can use Action:Match to Release:Match to Specified MusicBrainz Release and tell Jaikoz the release to use.

There are similar tasks are available for matching to Discogs as well.

also renaming the folder …
F:\Mixed\Alix Perez - Chroma Chords (2013) [SHACD007] [MP3-320-WEB]

so to Alix Perez -Chroma Chords

or F:\Mixed\Ellen_Allien-LISm-(BPC264CD)-CD-FLAC-2013-iHFLAC

to Ellen Allien - LISm

so i load directory F:\Mixed it loads a screen i then check for missing MBID’s it then shows alist of whats missing then if i want to get back to the loaded screen before i chk’d for missing MBID’s to do other tasks i cant

hope that explains it better…Thanks

If you mean by using the filter as in

Filters:Filter Musicbrainz Recordng Ids:Musicbrainz Recording Id does not Exist

You just need to select

Filters:Filter Musicbrainz Recording Ids:No Musicbrainz Recording Id Filters enabled

so still when renaming using File and Folder correct im getting

Artist
Album
1
01.Title
when im looking for
Artist-Album
cd01
01.Title

also is it possible to move the .cue log and .jpg files over when it has been changed…

this isn’t too easy at the moment to work out :>

Still not managed to get Jaikoz to rename folders as I wish

Artist Album
Trackno Title

VA Album Year
Trackno Title Artist

Hope someone can tell me the syntax for this

Thanks

Why is youre preferred example over two lines. I cannot see what you require. Please give a clear example and post the mask you currently have then it should be straight forward to provide a solution.

Hi
im looking for :

Folder : Artist space Album Trackno:Title

Various:

Folder: VA - Album -Year Trackno: Title - Artist

thanks

Have I understood your syntax right, a single folder containing all that info rather then separate folders, and actual example would help clear this up.

Folder:
Artist space album

U2 Boy

01 Boy

Various - Album - Year
trackno title Artist

VA - Nowmusic -2007

01 Wonderwall - Oasis

Okay, so rename mask would be

function ifnotempty(value,sep){
     return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '';
 }

ifnotempty(artist,' ') + ifnotempty(album,' ') + ifnotempty(title,' ') +trackno

and compilation rename mask would be

function ifnotempty(value,sep){
     return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '';
 }
 
 function ifnotempty2(value1,value2,sep){
     return value1.length > 0 ? value1 + sep :value2.length > 0 ? value2 + sep:'' ;
 }
 
 ifnotempty2(albumartist,artist,' ') + ifnotempty(album,' ') + ifnotempty(year,' ') + ifnotempty(trackno,' ') + ifnotempty(title,' ') + ifnotempty(artist,' ') 

Note, compilation albums are not neccessarily variuos artist albums they can be single artist compilations as well, using albumartist ensures they ar eonly set to Various Artist when they are Various Artist compilations

Hi

How do I add a - between track title and artist in compilation mask

01 Dice - Finley Quaye & William Orbit

The value within the single quotes is the seperator so you could replace

ifnotempty(title,’ ‘) + ifnotempty(artist,’ ')

with

ifnotempty(title,’ - ‘) + ifnotempty(artist,’ ')

but Im struggling to help you because every time you post a mask it changes from the previous so I still dont really know quite what you want if you could actually post what the Ministry of Sound name should be that would help

When I saved the changes using the mask you gave the results were as the images I posted so its saving the files individually and not in folder as image 2
so basically ima after changing from
Ministry of Sound XX Twenty Years 2011 [EAC-FLAC] to
Ministry of Sound XX Twenty Years 2011
and the same for the sub folders to lose [EAC-FLAC]

I do have many folders with varying titles that need changing and manually will be a tedious task to undertake and im really hoping to not have too

am I correcting in using command Ctrl-9 to change the naming of the folder

:roll:

Just to add tagging ive got a 89% success which im happy with .Ive just got a new nas/hdd so im about to move everything to one place so I aim to rename the folders correctly and also the 11% untagged I plan to add to a separate folder to check and add to the musicbrainz db…but I just cant get over the renaming of folders

The Various artist mask you requested contains the title and track no so yes every file is going to go into its own folder, so lets try again you want files to be a in a folder consisting of

AlbumName Year

Well that will just be

function ifnotempty(value,sep){
      return value.length > 0 ? value + sep : '';
  }
  
  
ifnotempty(album,' ') + ifnotempty(title,' ') 

So …

so with syntax it shows album songtitle year
which im after VA - album - year

my file syntax seems correct for what I want for compilation

so so close…:slight_smile:
appreciate your patience

Yes remember

Correct SubFolder from Metadata

and

Correct Filename from Metadata

are two different tasks both available from the Action:File and Folder Correct menu

you should make sure that Base Folder, Sub Folder, Filename and Is Compilation columns are displayed with Jaikoz so you can see the effect of the changes

Then if still wrong, clearly give me example of full path (BaseFolder + SubFolder + filename) showing what Jaikoz is giving you as opposed to what you want.
