Before importing I have a number of mp3 clean up scripts that make the filename Artist-Title.mp3 with no extra spaces and then use the rdimport pattern %a-%t.mp3 which gets it right much of the time. Sometimes we have Album and Genre. However RD looks at the mp3 tag in preference to the filename so the clean up script writes the mp3 tags as well.
There are two kinds of tags and I write the same info to both of them The tag file is used if everything is not all blank in both versions of tags. You would be amazed at the junk in mp3 tags; and a bit of time spent tidying things up before you import saves a whole lot of headache. I think from memory the script used sed to put everything in Title Case. .. just checked yes it was sed with id3ed and id3tool we ran a significant library through this process and sorted most of them regards Robert On Tue, 2012-12-04 at 10:19 +0100, Alessio Elmi wrote: > Hi Alan, > I think the process of 'Imported From' comes because no meta tag are > inside the audio file (mp3 or flac). > If you already have imported the audio I think the only way is via > MySQL script, as Wayne pointed out.
