I have done a lot of testing to make sure these do what they say they do and nothing else.
These are my Reg-Expressions there may be duplicates to what have previously been posted, or there are small changes to fix the many errors that the posted Reg-Expressions create. Replace with: " " (whitout quotation marks)Īction: replace (delete white space after opening bracket)Īction: replace (delete white space before closing bracket)Īction: split fields by separator (for the next actions)Īction: regular expression (switches names without nickname)Īction: regular expression (switches names with nickname) Presley, Elvis/Brel, Jacques/Kerner, Gabriele Susanne Īction: regular expression (trim white spaces)Īction: regular expression (multiple white spaces replace to 1) It handles multipled for WMP artists (in format "artist1/artist2/artist3"), possible nicknames at the end in square brackets and trims unnecessary white spaces.Įlvis Presley /Brel, Jacques/ Gabriele Susanne Kerner It will not change those artists, where the conversion already done (artist has comma).Įxample: Brel, Jacques William remains Brel, Jacques William Here is how to remove any leading zeroes (as well as trimmable whitespace):Īnother one, that switches first and last names (for instance, Jacques Brel will become Brel, Jacques): In contrast, when I use tracks in filenames, I DO like a leading zero if there are > 9 tracks on the CD because that causes the filenames to be lexicographically ordered, which is critical for proper sorting by your file system, as well as it visually looks better when filenames are displayed in a list.]Įarlier in this thread, phoenixdarkdirk pointed out how to remove any '/' char and following digits. Note that I only have a problem with leading zeroes in the track TAGS.
But if someone has a good reason for doing otherwise, please educate me! In databases there is a similar concept: you usually want to achieve what is called a normalized design. My intuition is that the information in each tag should be kept as simple and pure as possible. [Aside: It seems like a bad idea to pollute a nice simple tag like the track with extra information like this. I dislike it when a leading zero appears in the track number of the track tag (or when the total track count is added after a '/' char).
