exlude multiple discs in one direct. from renaming

Hi,

Thanks to all developers from foobar2000 and the plugins for this great Application.

I've searched in this forum/ documentation, but one "Problem" left. I'am noob using foobar, so please excuse, If the question is already answered. Version i use is v0.8.1


How can I exclude files from renaming in masstagger ?

I use following "Output Scheme"

\%artist%\%album%\$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title%

As long as one Album contains just one Disc it works great,  but not if I have multiple discs in an Directory. iTunes add the discnumber and an "-" followed from the track Name.

1-01 Come On.m4a
1-02 I Want To Be Loved.m4a
[...]
2-01 Gaotta Get Away.m4a
2-02 19th Nervous Breakdown.m4

How can I exclude above files from renaming. I have thousands of tracks and manually searching / removing the folders before I rename the rest is not a good solution and if i forget one ...

Thanks in advance.

Regards

\%artist%\%album%\[%disc%-]$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title%
Should work if you actually use %disc% to identify the disc number (as 1 or 2).

If the actual file already has both the same name and the same path as the name and path specified in that line (including %disc%), nothing will be done.

Hi nyarlathotep,

It did not work, it looks like iTunes stores the Disc-Number in its own internal Database. There is no Tag with an appropriate Discnumber.

Is it possible to automaticly create it with foobar ? If the filename not begin with '?-??' Discnumber is 1 and if yes read the first Character and set as Discnumber.

Or another Idea(s) ?
