Normal topic[Solved] Rename Error

Hello, I ran into a "Rename Error" during my editing. Curious if you might know how to correct the issue? I have some tracks that the id info is the same, but the tracks are actually two versions. Maybe one is a studio version and one is a live version. In iTunes it would just auto rename the filename by appending a digit so they could coexist in the same album folder. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

This is a common scenario. Many albums have multiple tracks with the same name. A good example is 'Intro'.

Yate has an <IfDup> token which you can place in the rename template. I tend to include:

<IfDup> T<Track><endIf> in my rename templates.

which in your example would have resulted in:

4 Minute 00.mp3
and
4 Minute Tnumber.mp3

You can configure it to do pretty much whatever you prefer.

I hope this helps.

Hmm, what if you just wanted to use one of the variables and increment 1 digit at a time for instances where you don't have track numbers. Is that something that is possible?

It's probably doable but would be convoluted. I'll see if there's am easier way to do it directly from the rename template. The issue is the looping for a valid number.

I've implemented a <Dup #> token in v2.5.1 coming soon. The token will be replaced with 2,3,4,etc. until a unique filename is achieved. The token must occur inside an <IfDup> ... <endIf> sequence.
