View source for TINT-based filing migration

[[Category:Tango.info]]

This page describes how to migrate to [[TINT-based filing]], i.e. filing based on [[TINP]], side# and track#.
==Windows==
Use the software: [[mp3tag]]. mp3tag lets you read and write parts of the pathnames. They are accesible via %_something%.

;The rows labeled "[[TINT-based filing]]" show the migration goals, depending on the software

;Three useful commands are
* Convert | Tag -> Filename
* Convert | Filename -> Tag
* Convert | Filename -> Filename (The third command can maybe replace the two step uses of the other two commands - not tested).

===Track# - %_filename%===
;process
* A) If you have the tracknumber in the tag fields you can rename the file to  "tracknumber.fileextension".
** Convert | Tag -> Filename
** format string: '''$num(%track%,1)''' ($num is essential to remove leading zeros)
* B) If you don't have the tracknumber in the tags but the filename starts with the number then you can put it in the tracknumber tag. 
** Convert | Filename -> Tag
** Format string something like '''%track% - %dummy%''' or '''%track%_%dummy%''' or '''%track%_-_%dummy%'''.
** go to A)

;Example
*05_-_la_punalada.flac
** Convert | Filename -> Tag, format string %track%_-_%dummy%
** now the track number field contains "05"
** Convert | Tag -> Filename, format string $num(%track%,1)
** now the file is named 5.flac

===Side# - %_directory%===
* introduce the side folder. Very often it will be a folder named "1"
* if all tracks are on side 1 use: Convert | Tag -> Filename , format string: %_directory%\1\%track%
** if before conversion , after conversion 

;Example
* Calo_Al_compas_del_corazon\5.flac
* %_directory% = albumname folder name
* if all tracks are on side 1 use: Convert | Tag -> Filename , format string: %_directory%\1\%track%
* you get Calo_Al_compas_del_corazon\1\5.flac
* %_directory% = Side#, %_parent_directory% = albumname folder name

===TINP - %_parent_directory%===
todo
* TINP conversions....
** sometext_[<TINP|EAN|UPC>]/
** <TINP|EAN|UPC>_sometext/

When there are other than audio files (e.g. a "cover.jpg") in the folders and you want to keep them there, (assume barcode is in field "barcode") you can do
* Convert Tag->Filename %_parent_directory%\%_directory%\%barcode%\%_filename%
* so the new folders are created inside the old ones
* manually copy the non-audio files into the barcoded folder
