Automatic ARTIST / ALBUM ARTIST value from the upper DIRECTORY NAME – Possible?

[Andrew ACTON]

Greetings Tiki

Currently Tunebrowser will ‘inherit’ the ALBUM TITLE from the current directory name (automatically).

Question:
I want to know if TuneBrowser can ALSO ‘inherit’ the ARTIST / ALBUM ARTIST from UPPER LEVEL directory name (automatically)?

Example:
I think many people save their music in ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACK structure e.g.:

/Alphaville <—- Artist

/Afternoons In Utopia <—- CD Title
(01) Iao.wav <—- Track
(02) Fantastic Dream.wav <—- Track

/Forever Young <—- CD Title
(01) A Victory Of Love.wav <—- Track
(02) Summer In Berlin.wav <—- Track

/Asia <—- Artist
etc …

If TuneBrowser can be set to ‘inherit’ the ALBUM TITLE (automatically) from the UPPER level directory (in the
example above ARTIST would be set to “Alpahville” for both albums. Can it be done?

Many thanks for all the recent updates to TuneBrowser … 🙂

I attach a screen shot for further detail.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

You know, currently TuneBrowser complements album title only by folder name. Artist name is “Unknown artist” or empty only.
I’d like to consider to complement artist name by upper folder name for a future feature.
Thank you so much again for your suggestion.(^^)

Hello Tiki,

Thank you for your quick answer to my question.

With this new feature “Use parent directory as ARTIST / ALBUM ARTIST”… TuneBrowser  will be further enhanced and become almost 100% free from ‘manual’ tag editing.

I look forward to a future release that may have this new feature. 🙂

Many thanks,

Andrew Acton

Great(^^). Thanks.

I want to confirm a detail point… Does “ARTIST / ALBUM ARTIST” mean both (ARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST) ? Or is it one of them (ARTIST or ALBUM ARTIST) ?

I am considering to set it into an ARTIST only. Please tell me your wishes if you have.

Thanks again,
Tiki

Hello Tiki,

“Or is it one of them (ARTIST or ALBUM ARTIST) ?”    A: ARTIST Only.

I 100% agree with your recommendation: “I am considering to set it into an ARTIST only”.

Thus, if the ARTIST is currently NOT defined (i.e. ‘Unknown’) this new TB setting will:

“Use the parent directory name as the ARTIST name.”

This will be a great improvement!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your confirmation.
I understood clearly.(^^)

Hi,

I have released preliminary version of TuneBrowser 4.8.0. At this version, parameters are added for recording “no tags” files.

In preferences dialog box,
– Left side tree: “Tags”
– Right side property: “File access” – “Complement ALBUM” and for “ARTIST”

Now, you can use “Use parent folder name” for ARITST.

If you noticed something wrong, please tell me at this forum.

Thanks.

Greetings Tiki,

I have downloaded and tested the 4.8.0 (beta) release and I can report 100% success!

Many thanks for making this change, I believe many TuneBrowser users will highly appreciate this new option, it means after ‘ripping’ there theoretically no need to manually update any metadata.

I attach a screen shot showing your hard work. 🙂

Please enjoy the coming holiday season and Happy New Year!

Cheers, Andrew Acton
