Title: No renaming while syncing
Post by: Babydoll32 on December 10, 2022, 09:38:53 PM
I don‘t know, if it’s a bug or not.
I want to sync and make separate folders for each playlist. And it’s necessary to trim and rename files. But Musicbee doesn’t recognize my settings. No matter what I do, filename is always same (the original). While not syncing to separate folders, filenames are trimmed and renamed.

A screen shot of your setting will be very helpful here.

when synching playlists to separate folders, each playlist file is copied to the playlist folder using: 999-Artist - Title.xxx as the filename template where 999 is the position in the playlist

Hi, thanks for answers.
Here are my settings:

And here the result:

My car audio just likes 1000 files per folder and doesn't like some special symbols.
That's the reason why I have to rename. The only possibility for me is using the "send to" option.
But it's a bit laborious, cause I've to delete folder contents first as I have dynamic autoplaylists,
which sorts out songs and sync would do this automatically. But when it's not a bug and there's no workaround I've to live with it.

best regards

Thanks for the screenshot.

Please copy/paste here the complete template for the music files.

This is what I use to pair down the length of long paths and file names. This limits the path/file name to a maximum of 150 characters plus the disc and track numbers.
Code
$RemoveSortWords($Left(<Album Artist>,50))\$Left(<Album>,50)\<Disc-Track#> - $Left(<Title>,50)

Thanks for help phred, but doesn’t work for me with separated folders. My template works also, but only when I don‘t use folder separator.

Best regards
