Title Formatting Problem

janinedog · 26th October 2004, 02:26

My title format is set to this:

[%artist% - ][%album% - ][$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))

I am using v5.05. This title format worked perfectly in an older version of Winamp 5 (not sure what version). However, now it doesn't. It appears, from what I can tell, that if the song has an album and an artist, it works fine. However, if it only has one or the other, it displays whichever one it has and then shows the folder that it's in after it. I don't want folder names in my mp3 titles...they're meaningless.

In the end, I want it to display:

Artist - Album - ## - Song

And if it doesn't have one of those parts, just don't display it.

How do I fix my title format to make it does this? Thank you!

code:
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%tracknumber% - ][%title%]

or

code:
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%tracknumber% - ][%title%]

if you want to pad the track with a zero.

Nope, didn't fix it. It still puts the folder name in, like so:

The Beatles - MP3s - A Day in the Life

"The Beatles" is the artist and "A Day in the Life" is the song. "MP3s" is the folder the song is in, and I have no clue why it's there.

Okay, it only worked when I set it to "no guessing" (just turning off "use library data for winamp title formatting" didn't seem to do anything. It's not ideal, but it works, so thanks.
