hiya... .. .

i haven't used SFVs before ..but decided it's way past due ..is there a program i can use to batch process the SFV file creation process .{?}..

i store my music fairly simply:

<Artist> - <Album Title> [<Year>]/<Track Number> <Song Title>.<Extention>

and i'd like to be able to automate the SFV file creation process so that an SFV file { "verify.sfv" } can be created in each directory... .. .

any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated .{?}..

: :: ::: peace out : tim





P.S. i'm on windows XP unfortunately... .. .

Have a look at http://cfv.sourceforge.net/. This command line tool is able to create SFV files based on the foldername (cfv -r -C)

If you prefer a GUI application, you can use Mp3tag's export feature to create the SFVs.

much appreciated florian ..i'll check them both out... .. .

{ i'm not afraid of command lines : but it has been a while since i was on DOS ..so i'll have to see how it goes ;) }

(cfv's recursive function won't hash specific files)

*NIX:
for dir in *;do cd "$dir";cfv -C -t sfv -f verify.sfv *(EXTENSION);cd ..;done

WIN32:
use sweep

when you say 'sweep' ..do you mean : http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/index.html : if so it doesn't operate under windows unfortunately... .. .

Sweep + fsum

Search Google for EasySFV or MooSFV. They are free

/c

excellent ..'cfv -r -C -fverify.sfv -tsfv' worked perfectly .[!]... much appreciated... .. .
thanks ..i've just tried 'sweep fsum -js *.* >verify.sfv' in the root 'F:\Music' folder where all my subdirectories live { i.e. 'Joan of Arc - So Much Staying Alive and Lovelessness [2003]' } ..but instead of generating a 'verify.sfv' file in each subdirectory ..it generated a single 'verify.sfv' file in the root folder - where the command was executed - it basically appended each fsum output into one file... .. .
thanks ..i had already checked out EasySFV ..but neither of these do batch processing... .. .

Try:

Batch processing; I overlooked that request.
I think you could do this with any program that supports commandline processing.

"for %%X in (*.) do md5sum %%X /b > %%X.md5"

This sort of phrase as example.

/c

You could use dsSFV v1.20 from within a batchfile that you will have to write.

CRC32/SFV

This is a command line tool which will do the recursive sfv file creation. Unfortunately, it can't yet name the sfv files with the folder titles. I'll have to give the author a nudge about that.

"Advanced CheckSum Verifier" also does what you're asking -- creates recursive SFVs based on folder names. It's a small GUI app.

how about QuickSFV?

you guys are too kind .[!].. i've had a flood of responses .[!]..

like i said earlier : http://cfv.sourceforge.net/ : did the trick for me ..using "cfv -r -C -fverify.sfv -tsfv"

however i'll definitly check out "Advanced CheckSum Verifier" too thanks aron... .. .

i already use QuickSFV ..but unless i'm overlooking something it doesn't do batch processing or recursive directories etc ..but i'm open to correction ..it's great for single file creation and verification though... .. .

p.s. Advanced CheckSum Verifier 1.3.0 works a treat... .. !
