Is it possible to add ID3 info but not alter original file name with Jaikoz?

When I tried Jaikoz and added the Title, Artist, Album, Track No, Track Total, Year, and Art it automatically renamed the file names with the Title info I just entered. What if I want to preserve the original file name? Is this possible?

Hi, no it doesnt that unless you have run Correct Filename from Metadata, with the default Autocorrecter no files are renamed or moved. However if you are changing files under iTunes control iTunes can move files based on your metadata if you have iTunes configured to Organise folders in the advanced tab.

I’m confused by your answer. If I want to retain the original file name (i.e. filename.mp3) and just retag the ID3s, can jaikoz do that?

Yes, that is what Jaikoz does by default.

It’s doing the opposite for me. As soon as I modify the Title ID3 tag and save my changes, it changes the filename to TitleID3info.mp3.

Yes, Ive given you two possible reasons why it might do this, but it doesn’t in normal use, are you sure you are changing the title field rather than editing the filename field directly ?

If you send you support files (Advanced/Create Support Files) I might be able to better see what is going on
