This thread forced me to actually think about them all, and consequently ask the Reddit community if I'm using the best tools to achieve my results. Recently a friend was asking me about my ID3 system, which, until now, was a bunch of boolean rules floating around in my head. Once tag the music it has an id tag that matches the musicbrainz database so if more information is later added to the database or you want to go through all your music and adjust the tags you can do it quickly and easily. I don't know much of the scripting function itself but I trawled the forums and wiki for the different parts of the script to get what I wanted.Ģnd Edit: One more thing I just remembered about picard that is also very nice. There are lots of people who have suggestions and tips on configs. Here is the list of additional files I have it move with the music tracks *.jpg *.gif * *.tif *.png *.bmp *.db *.wpk *.log *.pdf *.doc *.txt *.cue *.sfk *.m3u *.jpeg *.sfv *.md5 *.pls *.htm *.rtf *.alb *.tunebiteīeyond this, look through the wiki and the forums.

Have the image name be "folder" and windows will use that image for the folder thumbnails. $if($eq(%album%,),$set(tracknumber,0) $set(totaltracks,0)) $if($ne(%album%,),$if(%discnumber%,$noop(.),$set(discnumber,1) $set(totaldiscs,1)))Ĭouple other things to note, for Cover Art have it embed the images and also save it as a separate file. $if(%composer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Composed by: %composer% )) $if(%arranger%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Arranged by: %arranger% )) $if(%conductor%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Conducted by: %conductor% )) $if(%lyricist%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Lyrics by: %lyricist% )) $if(%producer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Produced by: %producer% )) $if(%mixer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Mixed by: %mixer% )) $if(%remixer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Remixed by: %remixer% )) $if(%djmixer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)DJ Mixed by: %djmixer% )) $if(%engineer%,$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Engineed by: %engineer% )) $if($get(performer:vocals),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Vocals Sung by: $get(performer:vocals) )) $if($get(performer:vocal),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Vocal Sung by: $get(performer:vocal) )) $if($get(performer:guitar),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Guitar Played by: $get(performer:guitar) )) $if($get(performer:bass guitar),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Bass Guitar Played by: $get(performer:bass guitar) )) $if($get(performer:violin),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Violin Played by: $get(performer:violin) )) $if($get(performer:drums),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Drums Played by: $get(performer:drums) )) $if($get(performer:piano),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Piano Played by: $get(performer:piano) )) $if($get(performer:keyboard),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Keyboards Played by: $get(performer:keyboard) )) $if($get(performer:guest violin and viola),$set(comment:,$get(comment:)Guest Violin and Viola: $get(performer:guest violin and viola) )) Then to get more than the typical set of tags I got a larger script that is put in the scripting section (was going to format this as code, but too many lines, you guys can deal with it) My multiple artists tagging is the same short of it being placed in a sub "Various artists" folder, which doesn't require a different renaming script. Sorts it like so: \The Beatles\Help!\07 - The Beatles - Help! - Ticket to Ride.mp3

I trust that you can figure out how to add more file types to that by looking at what I got.

$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %artist% - %album% - %title% $if($ne(%album%,),%album%/)$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$if(%discsubtitle%,$num(%discnumber%,2) %discsubtitle%,Disc %discnumber% of %totaldiscs%)/)$if(%bonusdiscs%,Bonus$if(%discsubtitle%, %discsubtitle%)/)

Here is my primary tagging script for Single artists: $if($or($eq(%_extension%,flac),$eq(%_extension%,ape)),)/ (and oooo, there's some new plug-ins that I like and may have to take advantage of, such as the "Search Plugins", "Title sort names", & "Title version") I'll share the script that I use once I get home. It took me only a week to re-tag about 60k tracks with Picard and it's all perfect now. What I love about Picard is the scripting that allows extensive options for tagging, much more than any other tagger I've seen. There is one that gets Genre and Mood tags from Last.fm and applies them to the tracks.
