FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to set tag naming paterns the same way I can set file/folder patterns

[oucil]

It's great that I can use variables for the file naming conventions, but it'd be really nice to be able to set patterns for the actual meta tagging as well. For instance, right now, all tracks are using the book title even when there is a specific chapter name available. Also, the track numbers aren't set at all.

At the moment I can sort of use Mp3Tag to bulk update the files and tags, but even then, books that are in a series and include book numbers, or that have a secondary title are different than books without so I can't do a full bulk change to all at once, I have to update each book individually.

Lastly, it would be great if we could set the Audible ID to be stored in a tag, i.e. "Comment", rather than the file name.

Thanks!

Came here to ask just the same thing but you already asked, thankyou!

This would be very helpful when using players like VLC to listen to a book split by chapters because now every chapter is called the name of the book and it's hard to know if every chapter is in order.

It doesn't have to be settable exactly like the filename, just a "ch05" for chapter 5 in the name tag would do wonders.

Both mp3 and mp4 support metadata tags for track number. When converting to multi-part MP3 files, libation does set the track number in the metadata tags. However, I have not yet added the track tag for mp4 files, but I'll do that soon.

Would having the track number in the metadata tags solve your problem, or would you still want The track number in the title tag as well?

That sounds great!

The track number helps the current problem for us at least but some players do not display this number in lists so it would still be nice with the possibility of adding a chapter number in the name tag.

Track number is definitely a good start, but if you are going to bother setting the chapter tag, you may as well use the chapter title supplied by Audible, many books have named chapters, not simply numbered chapters.

Appreciate your work!

Although I won't be splitting any m4b's, a quick note: the Audible chapter titles won't always sort alphabetically, which will confuse most playback tools. Having them is nice, but not having a simple, canonical order is not good.

@wtanksleyjr that's why I specified in my original feature request the ability to use the same variables used elsewhere in the app so that users can specify based on their own preferences.
