Music renaming question

[cejosa]

Any faq for music renaming? What's the difference between AccoustID and ID3 Tags on music mode? Does the ID3 Tags option change ID3 Tags on mp3 files? Filebot removes the number from my mp3 files, how do I prevent that? Sorry to be a pest. Thanks.

1.
ID3 tags uses ID3 tags embedded in the file as metadata source.
AcoustID uses AcoustID acoustic fingerprints to identify files and then retrieves metadata from the AcoustID web service.

FileBot does not change ID3 tags or modify your files in any way ever regardless of what datasource you choose.

You can change the way files are named by changing the music format:

Thanks for your help. In the naming section the only options are movies and episodes. What can I do to keep the numbers/original album order on my music files? Thanks again.

If you learn how the format works for movies/episodes then you will also know how the format works for music files.

Episode Format / Movie Format / Music Format all work exactly the same, the only thing that's different are the variables:

I am trying to rename Music using following format

My Music/{genres[0]}/{album}/{t}

I want to sort music in directories like Pop, Rock, etc...

But it doesn't seem to work. I believe {genres} tag is only valid for movies/TV shows. Please advise an alternative if it exists.

FileBot doesn't support {genre} for music.

If files are ID3 tagged, then you may be able to grab the data you want via the generic MediaInfo bindings:
