Hello,
I don't know if it addressed on older post (couldn't find it) but I want to know if there is a way to add an index number to the renamed file when there is a conflict with another file having the same name.. ex (1), (2),..
Especially in the Acoustid section.
Thanx in advance.
Thanos

Try this. Not sure how well it'll work for AcoustID matches though.

The
{di} duplicate index and
{dc} duplicate count should do the job:

I suppose AcoustID will have many unique IDs for conceptually the same song, so it's a duplicate or not depending on your point of view.

If you're using the GUI, you'll need extra information in the filename to make the filename unique, e.g. adding
[{crc32}] will do the job.

If you're using the CLI, then
--conflict index then it'll add .1-9 to the filename to make it unique.
EDIT:
AudioTrack "uniqueness" is defined by
[album, artist, title] so
[di, dc] will work:
Code: Select all
{album} - {artist} - {t}{if (dc > 1) ".$di"}
