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?

@see http://www.filebot.net/naming.html

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:

I did say I was new ...... No need to be rude!

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