Music: After renaming title of song shows up twice

Post by jwarisk »

Music: After renaming title of song shows up twice. I am new to FileBot and I am in the process of starting to rename my Music library to a standard format. When I started to renamed the song , I notice the title is showing up twice after I click match . It doesn't happen to every artists but it happens a lot to make it annoying, Has anybody else experience this.

For example:

Original: 1 Welcome to the Jungle

After renaming : 01 - Welcome to the Jungle Welcome to the Jungle

I would like: 01 - Welcome to the Jungle

Are you using AcoustID or ID3 Tags? What format are you using?

I tried both but mostly ID3 tags. It happen with both but AcoustID doesnt even come close to the format I want.

What format are you using? Are you sure that the ID3 tags are correct?

Saving as MP3. I'm not sure if the ID3 tags are correct.

Frustrating.

If the raw ID3 tag says "This is a title This is a title" then there's not much FileBot can do.

Since you seem to be completely oblivious of what the "format" is, I presume you're using the default format.

This is what a format might look like:

Code: Select all

Music/{n}/{album+'/'}{pi.pad(2)+'. '}{artist} - {t}
Depending on your files, you might be able to fix this problem in your own custom format by using different variables to generate the destination file path:

You can use the MediaInfo viewer to check the ID3 tags:
