Replacing or Removing Text from File Names and Tags This can be done using the %dummy% placeholder for the unneeded part of the file name. Sometimes it’s also needed to omit some information that should not imported to the tag. You can experiment further or just use %title% to copy the whole file name to the TITLE field. Given the example, TRACK has 01 and TITLE has Song Title. You can see in the preview which parts are imported to which tag fields.

The format string is built of either standard text (e.g., Music), placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, …), or backslash characters \ that denote directory structures. The basic concept is the notion of a format string which describes the structure of the name to import from. Importing tags for file names and directory names can be done by using the converter at Convert → Filename - Tag. Importing Parts of the File Name to the Tag If want to make sure to always use two-digit track numbers, use the $num scripting function as in: You can see the target file name in the preview label. Open the Tag to Filename converter at Convert → Tag - Filename. Select the files you want to rename, Ctrl+ A selects all listed files.

Title format: Step 1Ĭhange to a directory containing supported files by using the menu command File → Change directory. Here is an example that renames the file based on the tags using the Tracknumber. You can use normal placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, …) and arbitrary text (e.g., Music) in the format string. A format string is used to describe the structure of the desired filename. Renaming files from tags can be done by using the converter at Convert → Tag - Filename with a format string. You can change these settings via Options → Tags → Mpeg. Mp3tag always writes ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags to MP3 files. Now save the new tag via File → Save tag. If one field contains the text, Mp3tag will remove the current content of this tag field when saving the new tag. If one field contains the text, Mp3tag will keep the current content of this tag field when saving the new tag. Step 3Įnter the tag information of the current file to the entry fields of the Tag Panel. If you select more than one file, the entry fields will show meaning that existing varying values are preserved. The tag of the selected file will be displayed in the fields of the Tag Panel on the left of the Main Window. Now select the file to edit by using the mouse or the keyboard. If you also want to display the files of the subdirectories, make sure to enable the option Subfolders in the change directory dialog. The File List now contains all the files of this directory.
