Hi all ! -my first post-
I suppose someone will be able to help me... let's see :

i have visited a few dedicated sites and forums concerning title formatting in Foobar, but i didn't find what i am searching for.

Indeed, for personal reasons, i DO NOT USE MP3 TAGS.

here is the description of how my mp3 folders are written :

The folders are like this :

ALBUM NAME - year - ARTIST

And the files in that folder are like this :

01 - 'name of the track'
02 - 'name of the track'
03 - 'name of the track'
etc...

What i'd like to have, is a display in my playslist of that kind :

ARTIST tracknumber trackname albumname year

If it is possible, thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for my poor english!)


Long live Foobar2000 !

First of all, welcome to the forum smile.gif

This formatting should do what you ask for (no more, no less)
CODE
$puts(filename,$replace(%_filename%, - ,))
$puts(dirname,$replace(%_directoryname%, - ,))
$puts(sep,$strchr($get(filename),))
$puts(tracknumber,$cut($get(filename),$sub($get(sep),1)))
$puts(title,$right($get(filename),$sub($len2($get(filename)),$get(sep))))
$puts(sep,$strchr($get(dirname),))
$puts(album,$cut($get(dirname),$sub($get(sep),1)))
$puts(dirname,$right($get(dirname),$sub($len2($get(dirname)),$get(sep))))
$puts(sep,$strchr($get(dirname),))
$puts(year,$cut($get(dirname),$sub($get(sep),1)))
$puts(artist,$right($get(dirname),$sub($len2($get(dirname)),$get(sep))))
//appearance
$get(artist) - $get(tracknumber) - $get(title) - $get(album) - $get(year)
I'm not sure if you wanted artist in all CAPS, so I skipped it. Modify the last line to change the appearance.
For a simple tabbed version, change the last line (everything after //appearance) to:
CODE
$get(artist)$tab()$get(tracknumber)$tab()$get(title)$tab()$get(album)$tab()$get(year)

Why don't you use tags?
jcandli
Cause i don't like tags. I don"t know why, but i prefer when there is no tag. It seems clean when there are no tags. It's a personal point of view, of course... ;-)
