Is there a way to rename mp3 files, including generation of folders from the Tag with exiftool (i use Linux)?
Example: The file "imagine,mp3" has the Tag "Artist: John Lennon", Album "Gimme Some Truth", Title "Imagine", Track "15" and is saved in /downloads/imagine.mp3
Ich will get the output: /John Lennon/Gimme Some Truth/15 - Imagine.mp3
I have found nothing about this in the documentation ...
Many Greetings,
Dino
I found this:
exiftool -ext MP3 '-Directory<Artist' .Alternatively, for recursive processing:
exiftool -r -ext MP3 '-Directory<Artist' .
And - it works beautifully!
But, how do I get a directory structure such as /Artist/Album/.. ??
All questions answered by me ;D
I forgot the "$".
So everything is working fine:
exiftool -ext MP3 '-Directory<$Artist/$Album' .
Respectively, for recursive cycle:
exiftool -r -ext MP3 '-Directory<$Artist/$Album' .
Regardless of the above, how can I use multiple Tags for the renaming of the file name?
I.E. i have "lennon.mp3", the Tags are "Artist=Lennon", "Title="Imagine", "Track=02".
How can i rename the file to "02 - Lennon - Imagine.mp3" (in the same directory)?
exiftool '-filename<$Track$Artist$Title.%e' lennon.mp3 is not properly ... :'(
with one Tag it Works great:
exiftool '-filename<$Title.%e' lennon.mp3 :D

This should work, provided the Track, Artist and Title tags exist and don't contain illegal characters.

Hi Phil,
and thanks for your answer!
It works, but move the renamend file in a new created folder, can i have the file at the same place?
If the file name doesn't contain a slash ("/"), then it won't be moved to another directory.

The Tag "Track" contains als Slash, so i must live with it ;)
Thank's for these great tool!!
Hi Dino,
You don't have to live with anything you don't want to.
Do this in your expression to remove the slash: ${track;}
The semicolon invokes the advanced formatting feature, and without an expression the default is to remove / \ ? * : | < and >.

That's great, thanks again Phil.
