Rearrange Parts of File Names
Using Convert → Filename - Filename, you can rearrange parts of file names by marking up to nine parts using a pattern over the file name and rearrange them using a new file name pattern.
The Old filename pattern splits the file name in several parts. It is built of standard text (e.g., Music
and delimiters like -
, _
) and by placeholders that denote the reusable parts, starting at %1
, %2
, up to %9
.
You can mark directories via the backslash character \
within the pattern string.
The New filename pattern uses the previously defined parts (accompanied by optional standard text) to resemble the target file name.
If you use the backslash character \
within the new filename pattern, Mp3tag creates new directories below the current working directory for relative paths or at the at an absolute folder location if it starts with a drive specification, e.g., D:\Music
.
You can use Scripting Functions when defining the new filename, e.g., $upper(%1)
.
