Now I'm a pretty happy camper, I still have to find a way to perfectly apply the screen shield on the display.MP3Tag is as the name implies, a Free Portable Mp3 Tag Editor. It does not, and this is absolutely fine for me. I never actually opened the M3U, I thought it would organise the files automatically by it. So if you have any questions regarding scripting, this is the place to go.Įdit: Reading Joe Bloggs posting "How to create M3U playlists." my gears started to click slowly and I had the urgent feeling I may have missed something important. MP3Tag is an incredible powerful tool and the people at their forum are very capable and helpful. And because I add features always in the artist field like "Ana Popovic featuring Tommy Sims - Mo' Better Love", nor album or musician really seem to work in my case. I would like to browse by file/folder, but there doesn't seem to be an option to sort via M3U(8) or the tag Tracknumber this way. I bought a X1 a few days ago and I don't have the perfect solution right now. And I don't like Ligeti, György or Coathangers, The. I stick to this in the digital world, sadly there is no way to tell the system what a family name and a given name is. Salter - Monster Music, a soundtrack compilation of classic horror movies like The Wolf Man. This gets difficult with different composers, p.e. I organized all physical media strictly by name of band, musician or composer & not the performer, so Vampire Weekend is in direct neighbourhood of Vaughan Williams. I've tested this script on small test libraries and it seems to work fine, who would like to give it a shot with their whole library? :tongue_smile: The Album and DISCNUMBER subfolders would not be created if those tags are empty. The $if script at the beginning substitutes Artist for Album Artist if the latter is not present. If you put this into the Format String for Convert->Tag - Filename, what happens is all the tracks on your card are sorted into folders in the hierarchy Album Artist\Album\DISCNUMBER\ while the track itself is renamed. Here's one I've come up with as an example: Open the help file and study the section on Convert->Tag - Filename and also the Scripting Functions subsection for a list of all the things you can do with renaming / refiling your music files based on their tags-the possibilities are endless That's because the next step depends heavily on the quality of your tags.ģ. Speak to me as Artist: Pink Floyd Album: DSOTM Track No.: 01 Track title: Speak to me etc.) via the Convert->Filename - Tag function to automatically tag a file named like Pink Floyd - DSOTM - 01. At this point I recommend doing extensive housekeeping of your tags, including editing in tags for any files not having them (e.g. You can sort the list by various tag properties, including the presense or lack of a tag at all. All the music loaded on your card (even those in subfolders) should show up in the main window. its root directory) as the folder to work on.Ģ. via the X player itself in storage mode), open mp3tag and click on the folder choice icon and choose the card itself (i.e. With the card for your player connected (e.g. "X player card backup" on your computer, so you wouldn't have to go looking all over the place for the songs you want to put in the X player again should the following mess up your files.ġ. The best thing to do would be to copy the whole card of files from the root to a folder called e.g.
Now, the following assumes that all the music on your X player's micro SD card(s) are backed up on your computer.
(Here's the download page: -don't get distracted by one of those fake download link ads on the main page!) If you get mp3tag it can read the do processes according to the tags of almost all the file formats supported by the X players. Now, here's something I've been researching, automatic sorting of tracks into folders according to tags.
But doing so may involve hours of tedious manual sorting, naming and moving files. Many users have turned to folder browsing as an alternative. The category functions, when they work, also aren't very advanced, with things like multiple conditions only partially supported (mainly via Artist->Album) and ignoring the DISCNUMBER tag a notable omission :rolleyes: An annoying feature of the X1/3/5 is their library management, as a FiiO rep I make no excuses about it, the 5800 track limit at the start was bad, and these days there's still a soft limit of about 10000 tracks, above that any category-based navigation starts to slow to a halt.
