Experiencing music files tagging- few questions

[dbenyakar]

I have one more question. When my music is sorted and is under X:\Music\...., Do I enter in Subsonic only the X:\Music path? or do I enter each Letter folder X:\Music\y.. (assuming the structure in X:\Music\y\artist...), or I enter the artists folders?

If your music is in X:\Music\Artists\Albums\Songs, then you would only specify X:\Music.

Not sure if it was fixed in 4.7+, but I experienced issues with 4.6 where if I had any actual music files in X:\Music (not in a subfolder), then that was the only music it would see. It wouldn't see anything in the subfolders, unless I moved the music out of the "root" folder. Haven't been brave enough to move something back into the "root" folder with 4.7+. If it's not broke, don't fix it....

OK. Just for the info...
I have tagged all my music files, downloaded the cover arts for them and they are sorted in the format X:\Music\A\Artist\(year) album\CD #\title
I used mp3Tag for this task and it worked the best for me.
In order to sort and organize the files/directories in the format above I created the following mask:

Code: Select all

c:\Music\$if($isdigit($left(%artist%,1)),#,$left(%artist%,1))\%artist%\(%year%) %album%$if(%cdnum%,\CD%cdnum%\%artist% - %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %title%,\%artist% - %album% - $num(%track%,2) - %title%)

'cdnum' and a custom tag that I have added in order count the CD# in case an album has more than 1 CD.
Artists that start with a number are stored in a folder '#'.

It took me a whole week to do it but in the end it worth the effort.

Just a suggestion, why don't you use the Disk number tag?

Simply because I didnt realize it exists. Only after a while ifound that out.
