Filebot still reading old tags even after being cleaned

Post by Brooklyn11218 »

I'm trying to rename some music files. When I saw in filebot that the title tags were screwy, I cleaned them up and ran filebot again. At this point filebot is still reading messed up tags even though they aren't there anymore. Attached in the picture you can see the details.

On the left is the file properties through Mp3Tag, in the middle is FileBot, and the right is the windows properties window. In both mp3tag and windows the tag shows correct yet file bot is picking up something entirely different.

My format is:

Code: Select all

{pi.pad(2)+'. '}{artist} - {t} - [{audio.bitratestring}]
So this file: 2002-009 Usher - U Got It Bad.mp3

Will come out as: 09. Usher - U Got It Bad - [192 Kbps].mp3

instead, I'm getting this: 09. Usher - 007 - Usher - U Got It Bad - [192 Kbps].mp3


I've checked thge tags a bunch of times but can't see the issue.

1.
Have you tried restarting FileBot after changing the tags?

2
If you're using "ID3 Tags" then {t} is based on General/Title mediainfo. If you scroll down you'll see a Title row.

Sorry about that. I thought I had scrolled down. Here is the filebot properties with the File row highlighted.

If FB is looking for a general info title that's different from the id3 title, where is it located? I can't find it in any of the metadata editors I've tried. All the "title" tags show what it's supposed to.

No idea. I guess in this case it's "Track" and not "Title". Just use {media.Track} to access the info directly.
