Under the Tools >
Management menu, you will find the popular Tag and Rename
Wizard.
Download songs off the net and
you will find that they use all sorts of crafty filenames:
"(This_Song)_by_This_Artist.mp3",
"Artist_-_Title.mp3", "Artist [Track #] Title -
Year.mp3", etc? It's bad enough some probably
aren't even tagged yet.
This is where the Tag &
Rename Wizard comes in. You tell it what to expect
"My Artist - Title.mp3" for example, and it will
match those fields, tag the file, and then rename it to say
"(My Artist) Title.mp3".
You are in control of how to format your
filenames. Additional commands instruct
ShufflePlay how to deal with files who don't have
certain tags. You can tell it to rename it anyway,
insert "unknown" in the name, or just
leave it alone.
But wait, there's more!
You can enter up to 5 import templates and up to 5 output
templates. This allows you to successfully process more
files at once. You can change all spaces to underscores,
periods, or whatever floats your boat. You can tell it
to automatically capitalize words in the tag and filename.
You can insert your own tag comments overriding existing
ones. You can even tell it to change fields like
"The Heeby Jeeveys Band" to "Heeby Jeeveys
Band, The" for easier alphabetical searching.
You will be the
envy of your friends. People will be asking you
how you found the time to tag and rename all those files.
Women will be falling over you at the next big
social function. Okay, maybe not... but one can
daydream right? :)
