FileBot Not Running on Sonoma (14.3)

Hi, I am installing FileBot on an MacBook Pro M3 running Sonoma 14.3 and it will not run. If I install it via homebrew, the app fails with the message "Filebot" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash. I the ran "brew rm --zap filebot" which deleted all of...

Re: HD Concert Hoarder needs help

I've never heard about SetList.fm so I can only say that FileBot has no support for that API. That's kind of what I expected. setlist.fm has been around for well over a decade but I think its API support is a recent development. Since concert sets are can be more "subjective", especially ...

Over the years I've amassed many terabytes of files, most of which are HD music concerts I am in the same boat - in fact I was looking for answers to the same question and found this thread. I am mostly concerned with trying to just find concert metadata to establish set lists or at least populate ...

Music: Using sequence number vs. track number in file name

If I am using the GUI Rename function, can I get a format variable or functional equivalent for the track numbers as they appear in the order in "Original Files". Normally, one would strip the number from the file name but a lot of live recordings have track numbers that reflect their orig...

That's strange because no matter what I do the match is as I described. So you don't upload images I can't easily give you the screen-shot, but suffice it say I cannot change the behavior initially described that I see in the GUI, so if the CL does the same, then I guess I am wasting my time for thi...
