Hey! Thank you both so much!!!
Yes, it works :-D

Juhuuuuu!

I must admit, alone i would have been lost. I can´t say enough Thanks! How cool that you could help me - and that fast - whoa! I will see what a 'how-to' i can contribute, and then write it down here. I thought about the following: For shure i´m not the only one who has that Problem with the mp3-Player - it only sorts on 8.3 roll And its relative new. Anyhow; wouldn´t a 'precompiled' Package be a good Idea? Its really easy, just one file for 'lock' sorting, and one to 'unlock' again. If you want to, i could add "my" batch file (to be exact: ours *g* to be more exact: yours *gg*). Or try to write a little basic, it could get compiled to exe? Its just an Idea. And of course lets see what the new release could bring....? wink

Oh, and one Addition: I found out that using %np is even better: Cause when you have an Album with more than one CD and per CD Tracknumbers starting with 01 you have in that Folder two 01-Files, two 02-Files. The Command Line argument now looks like following:
siren /P /T /F *.mp3;*.wma /S * /D . /E "%%np_%%f" /R /Q
del siren.ini  REM This is because of there still gets a siren.ini created, containing the Version-Number

Once again, thank you, now i´m happy :-D
Wish you the best, Greets!
Daniel

Hi Stefan!

Thanks for *that* fast reply, whoa! And for your effort, you wrote really much - and the best: I understood it :-D
Ok, bit more serious: By "didn´t work" (i know, i know - not really an error description... *g*) i mean i started the command (see above) by *.bat, it worked for a second, then it closed and - nothing happend ;-) I started it without the /Q switch to see whats up, and siren came up with the correct files, but none selected, and no rename was started. Curious, cause ain´t that exactly what the /R switch is for?
Anyhow, then I thought about handing the Expression over an seperate *.ini out (even if that would mean i´d have alot of more files in the root directory; but if it´d work...), but had the same problems like with the 'pure' batch file.
Im not really shure about the syntax, for example do i have to use '/F *.mp3' or '/F*.mp3' instead of '/F:*.mp3' or should i combine it with the next one '/F *.mp3; *.wma' or or or....
Ok, and now for your questions :-D
I put (for Testing at least) the siren.exe, the corresponding *.ini and the *.bat into the same folder where some testing-mp3s are. So my complete Path to all is the same. Exactly: All files are in the Folder
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\Desktop\Auto Rename Test\Testing

As I don´t want to use absolute Paths The command in the *.bat file is the same as above written.
Maybe a last information about what i want to do: I have a mp3-Player, and correct named and tagged files. But the Player unfortunatly does it´s sorting via the old 8.3-Scheme. In order to play the Albums in its correct order, i need to put a ascending number in front of it. As it destroys my namingformat of the files (%artist% - %album% - %track% - %title%), i need a possibility to 'undo' this action. And, of course, only for the audiofiles....

Puhh, that was a long post, but hopefully you can get me on the right track. Let me say a second time 'thanks' for the great helping! Cheers!

Daniel


Edit: I have overlooked a question from you:
> Did your paths contain blanks (spaces, Leerzeichen) ?  Did you used Quotes (Anführungszeichen " " ) ?
Yes, it contains blanks. And i didn´t use Quotationmarks, as i thought 'everything is in the same path, forget about that' Maybe theres an error? But how & what should i quote? The whole command itself? Only the switches like "/F *.mp3" ?

Hi there!

First of all: What a great Program! Seems to be exactly what i was looking for for ages. But i don´t get it correctly working 'til now :-( But let me explain what i want to do, maybe i even can´t realise it??
I want to have two small files i can run (a *.bat for example), one to append a number with three digits to the left of the filename, and a second one to remove that again. That everything should be recursive. And I don´t want to click anything more than just on one file.
So i tried creating a batchfile, but i didn´t get it run. I tried it with something like:
siren.exe /P /T /F *.mp3 /F *.wma /S *.mp3 /S *.wma /E %AT_%f /R /Q
But it didn´t work :-( Could someone please help me with creating it? Or at least post an example for a similar batch? I couldn´t find any *bat-example in the Net... Basicly I just want to rename Filename.mp3 to 001_Filename.mp3 (and later back). The "001" should be, in the best case, the Track Number given by the ID3Tag.

I would be so greatful if someone could help me!!!
Thanks for everyone who has an Idea - Daniel


PS: I saw a Topic in German - if it´s better for someone: Feel free to write in German back! At least from my Point-of-View it wouldn´t be any Problem ;-)
