Title: Audio converter suggestions
Post by: Dreamer on November 15, 2019, 18:12:42

Please confider these suggestions for audio converter:

1) Add %tntd (track number two digits, always, e.g. 01, 02 instead of 1, 2)

2) "Remove source file after successful conversation" is a bit misleading, "remove" is often used just to remove item from list, I suggest to use "delete" if the item is removed from disk.

3) Add item "Remove items from list after successful conversation" - so it will be easy to add the new files, now I have to remove items first, so I can see the new items.

4) Warn before conversion in some situations:
- when converting file to same bitrate (e.g. 320 vs 320 kbps)
- when converting file to higher bitrate (e.g. 128 to 320 kbps, or to FLAC)

Thanks.

1) Use %Format macro for doing that.
2) You are right, I have fixed it.
3,4) Ok, I have added these suggestions to my todo list

Thanks.

1) Could you explain how to use it? I tried it, but I have just something like "(2)" or no track number and even no title.  ::)

EDIT: Now I'm using this:

%Artist - %Album\%R - %Format - %T

Before your suggestion I used this:

%Artist - %Album\%R - %tn - %T

It was OK, but only one digit for track number.

Is there any list of all options / macros in English?

Code: [Select]

%Format(00,%TrackNumber)
Just click button with "i" icon to see legend

I can't find anything else there, no two digits track and short versions like %R %T are not there either.

%R and %T is macros from old version of player. %R = %Artist, %T - %Title. Just make a new template based on new macros.

Oh, I missed this, I thought it's just a quote. It works now, thanks.

Anyway, it's not easy to find, %tntd would be much more intuitive IMHO.

It would be very useful to add a check before the conversion so that when a file is found in the destination with the same name it asks what to do. Overwrite or not convert. By the time we convert giant libraries and we don't have much processing power, I used the translator, sorry for my English.

More suggestions:

5) Show the new name preview, for all items, or just for 1 item.

6) Automatically scroll down the list, while converting items.

7) Perhaps move the "Audio Converter" (and "Tag Editor") in menu from "Utilities" sub-item to main menu.
When using it often, it's quite annoying to always use sub-menu.

Thanks.
