Epic quest for a good free mass file renamers have finally come to an end!!
Ever sat down in front of your computer > opened up your mp3 collection > thought to your self > WTF IS THIS SHIT?!?! All yours songs are all over the place and not arranged by the the artists name cause alot of the times there are those annoying track numbers in front of the track and also the infamous “01. Wtf_Why_Are_There_UnderScores - In_The_Damn_Song_Name.mp3”. You slap your self on the head wishing there was a way to make all those annoying track numbers and stupid ass underscores disappear, well my friends here is the result of that epic GG quest
All i have to say is i fakin love this little proggie. It does everything I’ve ever asked for and more (man handling naggy wives/bitchy gf’s not included). The main 3 things I use this prog for is the
Case function: Converts everything to its proper casing (but you can also select all caps or all lower case)
Trim Feature: You can select the left trim feature and select the amount of characters you want to left trim the file name by, therefore removing those pesty track numbers in front of the file
Replace/Remove Character feature: Great for removing those dumbass under scores and replace them with a “Space”
You can also do nifty things like edit ID tags, so for some songs that dont have ID tags you can set the tags by telling the proggie to name the ID tag after the song name. Really great stuff, I highly recommend it to anyone thats obsessive compulsive about their track collections like I am.
Sorry bro, you chose to join the “Exclusive” club when you decided to buy a mac. Which correlates to you having to pay for all of your shit =P. But seriouslee tho I dont own a mac so I can’t be sure if they have one that works for you. Just try googling around and with a good amount of luck Im sure you will find something.
There’s a program called The Tagger for Macs. You have 14 days to try it. I noticed, though, that if you delete the .plist after the expiring date and re-install, you get another 14 days…
actually.., in the pictures the windows system looks alot faster and more comprehensive. it gives you a read of real info and proposed results. And also the tree/location. Does the mac system have another view? If these systems had duplicate finders in them it would be nice. But thats another program.
However, I think I should finally open the world to the AMAZING id3-tagit.
I did ALOT of research on the web for mp3 taggers and file renamers, and this baby has the LOT.
As a bit of a techy, I also really appreciate the flexible approach it uses to mp3 tags and filenames, allowing the use of regular expressions and more.
Unfortunately it still has the odd bug in it, and the dev is no longer working on it, but I have still to find anything that even comes close to its abilities:-
Mp3tag uses regular expression and devs still working on it. New version came out again recently. Did you check that out if so whats better about the one you mention ?
I seeeee. The layout is a little more macish than I thought. Im really into the Tree/columner file view because I use win-dos as well.
All in all (mess) - the folder/icon view really bugs me cuase its visually ineffecient. IMO. IM not as dumb as the hard case noob that macs’ OS really appeals to. < good thing.
Is the app finder friendly ie: does the app affect the finder info and meta in real time.
no i agree, and upon further review/testing, the file browsing method cannot be changed, but attached are some screens to show that it is a little more featured than their website shows, allowing columns for BPM, sample rate, bitrate, genre, etc. also there is a button for Quick Look built in, which gives you the ability to play the song natively in the application.
and all data is changed on the file when it is changed in the application. i changed the genre of one of my songs, and when played in itunes the change was there. no “save” or anything is necessary.
side note, there’s no reason to hate on other OSs. my OP was simply a joke at the difference in looks of each OS.
definately not hating… Im a apple/mac user mainly. 28 years.. And thier marketing has always been targetting .." making things easier for you"w
good thing> meant by its a good thing that the visual file folder/groupings are there to motivate the education of the user. there might not be a jumping off point.. .otherwise.
