Music: Using sequence number vs. track number in file name
Posted: 17 Oct 2019, 06:53
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 origin from the multi-set bootleg CDs they were ripped from. If I wanted to break them up by set, or even better, just use the absolute order, I can. For the ripper to preserve the CD track numbers seems... lame. Furthermore, I have seen songs reordered from their original sets on ROIOs simply satisfy that 74 minute limitation and a person might want the tracks to follow as they were actually played. Fixing with a quick drag-and-drop is a lot less ornery than changing the file names before conversion.
I'm guessing this is somehow possible, if not in the manner I suggest. Thank you!
