Full Version: EAC command line - (IF) statement?

Hi, i'm just wondering if there's an 'IF' statement blink.gif blink.gif for the additional command-line options in EAC.

My problem here is that i'm trying to add a "0" in front of tracknumbers from 1-9.
And no changes for tracks from "10" and above. So in the tag, it'll show up:
"01" instead of "1", and from no changes from "10".

emm, i just want 2 digits instead of one for all track numbers... and i'm encoding to OGG and FLAC.

so i thought an "IF" statement might help, but hmm, is there any way to work around this?

btw, here's the command-line i use for OGG.
-q3 -a "%a" -t "%t" -l "%g" -d "%y" -N "0%n" -G "%m" %s

notice the 0 in front of %n

thanks.
cole.

As far as I know, there is no such thing in EAC. In my opinion, it's not really needed either. The possible usage scenarios for most people would be very slim.

A better, and much more flexible, approach to this is simply to call some sort of script that you've created from EAC, and have the IF statement structure laid out within that.

Hmm, i desperately need that 2-digit thing, is that script you're talking about something like MAREO? http://mareo.netfirms.com/
emm, prolly i'll make one when i'm free.
Thanks anyway.

You can always use tag.exe to tag your files after encoding instead of during encoding or to edit the tags using the "add trailing zero to track number" option.

I find that Tagger is a nice front end:
Welcome to Tagger's official website!

I'm curious, why do you need the 2 digits? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to decide how to tag my files going forward. I used to tag all my files after encoding using Tagger based on filename scheme. Since EAC saves the files with 2 digit track numbers (in the filename) Tagger always made the tags with 2 digit track numbers. I didn't notice until reading your post that EAC does not use 2 digit numbers in the tags it creates directly.

So why do you need the 2 digit track numbers? Maybe I will too and don't know it!
