The music files as named like the following: 01 Music Title. I would like to get them as: Band Name - Music Title. I looked into the rename command and I was thinking of doing something like this:
Code:
rename "s/(the first two integers)/Band Name -/g" *.mp3
The problem is that I don't know how to indicate the first two integers. Does anyone know how to do this?
How would I rename all files with a leading decimal point recursivley? I some how got all my music files to have a decimal point.I tried the below and got a " sed argument to long".[CODE]find /media/MUSIC -type f -name "*.wma" | xargs -0 sed -i 's/.(.*)/1/'[CODE]
Another question, can i just use -type f with out -name ? I am sure that all the files got the decimal point added as the first character.
Anyone know of an application that will rename a folder to the contents id3 tags?
My music directory is a mess with folder names. Not a big deal since I use Banshee to library everything. I have a fairly large music collection on my main hard drive(140gb) but I keep id3 tags clean.
I'm setting up an ftp server and it will be impossible to navigate the way the folders are now.
Something similar for movies would be cool too.
I have a large collection of music albums sorted in folders which are named like this: "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" (%{artist} - %{year} - %{album}). I want to rename them so as to be indicative of the bitrate, for example, "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" => "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party (@320)". It will be hard to do this manually. I tried to use EasyTag and Kid3 to do this, but they cannot add bitrate to tags.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been building my digital music collection for some time and used to house it on a local drive with no quality issues. A while back I built myself a file server using ubuntu and mdadm in a raid1 configuration to protect against potential drive failure. I link my iTunes library to the music files via a samba share and everything works great on the surface. I've started to notice that random songs are becoming corrupted with pops clicks and silent pauses. I'll even re-download an album and notice that it's corrupted a few weeks later. Now I'm at a loss to what is causing this issue; I ignored it at first but it seems to be getting worse and more widespread as time goes on.
Do you think this could be caused by mdadm? It reports that all is fine via 'cat /process/mdstat' but I wouldn't know where to look or what to look for if there were syncing issues. The other possibility is that I have iTunes set to keep my music folder organized for me, but I've never heard of it actually corrupting the files it shuffles around. The bottom line is that my library is getting crappier as time goes on and I cannot stand for that!
I am trying to configure mpd (music player daemon) to access my music files that are stored on a windows server (NAS).

How do I do that? Is it something to do with mount?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUntil now i haven't had to dabble with bash scripts.
I have a program that reads in data files. These are named datafile01_R, datafile01_G, datafile01_B, they then increment, so datafile02_R etc i have about 600 of these. the program reads in 3 data sets at a time from each run, so files_01 r, g, and b.
The program then does its magic, and outputs about 40 different files, depending on the file, they gone to folders named R, G, B, psa, or tracking.
The program itself has configuration files to say where the files should gone when analyzed, there is also the config files that reads in the data sets.
At the moment i have to run one set of data, then go in and manually change the input file location, and run again. But, doing this, even though a different data set, the new set overwrites the old set in one of the output folders. So i need a way to increment the output filenames after they are written and before the program is run again with the new data set.
Im trying to auto rename badly named mp3's using info from the id3 tag. I got a nice little program called id3ren, it works fine apart from it doesn't add the track number. Cant figure how to enable this function. The track numbers are in the ID3, but it just renames to Artist/Trackname. Any other users on here?

I guess the title says it all. I'm looking for a program that will rename a massive amount of files at once. JPGs specifically, or PNGs. More specifically,I'm creating a stopmotion movie. Using the program StopMotion. And for that, all you pictures, or frames, have to be named 001.jpg 002.jpg and so on. I've got about 300 or so images, and they're all named the default thing that my camera names them, you know, like DSCIM8520 or whatever. I'm looking for maybe a command line program or GUI is fine too, that will do this for me.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGetting together a script that will add numbers to all the files in a folder.
I've ripped most of my CDs to oggs for my new pmp, but I found that the pmp doesn't like files that are numbered just as 1 and 2, as it thinks that the 2 is more than 10.
So instead of going through all of my music folders and renaming every file by hand from 1 to 01 and from 2 to 02, I'd ask if there's a script that can be executed to add these numbers for me. It'd be even better if it only added the number to the files with only one digit.
Here's an example:
I want to rename:
And I'd like to do it to all single-digit files lower than 10 in the folder, if possible. If not, I can isolate them by hand.
I want to rename all files in a directory to "random" names(the point is that the name does not exist, it can be anything). In my case is it *.wav file i want to rename, i basically want to burn cd's to my pc with cdparanoia, then rename them and put them in a directory with other songs i have which also have been given random names. (i'm creating a big music directory where the songs have no names)And i will eventually make a script to make things easier, but for some reason i can't think out a way to rename the files randomly, and i guess "$RANDOM" is a good variable to use but.. how?EDIT: And while i'm at it, is there any way to use the "play" command in the terminal, by "sorting" music files in a directory randomly, and then play them, so it will not be played the same order again?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my photos folder, I have hundreds of folders, each with Picasa.ini files.
Unfortunately, a lot of these files are actually ".picasa.ini" files & Picasa 3.0 does not recognize them.
All I want to do is rename all those ".picasa.ini" files to "Picasa.ini".
If there was a GUI way to do this, all in one go, then that would be my prefered method.
I couldn't find one, so reluctantly tried Terminal. After a lot of reading & trying, still no success.
"locate .picasa.ini" finds all the files easily.
I tried many variants around: "rename -v -n 's/.picasa.ini$/Picasa.ini/' .picasa.ini" to run a simulation without screwing anything up yet, but at best they only seem to rename one occurence, not all the files.
I am quite new to script programming and I am facing an uphill task to rename files in one folder.

I'm trying to rename all files in a folder as such:
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
Renaming them is no problem, the problem I have is, they need to be in order of the datetime that they were taken, so that the 1.jpg would be the oldest file there. The difference in filetimes is going to be very small, around 3 or 4 tenths of a second.
The reason I need to do this is that I have another script (not quite finished yet), that takes the next three files in a loop and applies qtpfsgui to them to output an HDR image to another folder, then move on to 4,5 & 6, and: repeat.
I have quite a few sound sample files totaling over 4 gigs in size with around 80 root folders and then around 34 sub folders. i have a total of 13 DVD's in the above format. how do i "change the date" on all files in one go is that possible?
