Digital Release - Album Publishing file naming

Updated

The file naming can be specified by typing in the corresponding field (Contiguous audio file and One file per track convention) and is based on tags.
Information will be retrieved from the Disc info from CD/SACD Tab and from the Output format.

Use upper/lower case for tag names to change the default capitalization.
For example <DISCPERFORMER> will create a file with the Album performer in capitals, and <DiscPerformer> will respect the capitalization of the CDText Performer field.

Creating Subfolders

You may create subfolders by adding a \ in the naming convention field.

  • If you want to create a subfolder per file format, enter :
    <FileFormat>\
    e.g. <FileFormat>\<TrackTitle> - <TrackPerfomer> => WAV\Transmission - Sonic Rade

  • If you want to create a subfolder per FileFormat and Sampling Rate, enter :
    <FileFormat><SampRate>\     
    e.g. <FileFormat><SampRate>\<TrackTitle> - <TrackPerfomer> => WAV96k\Transmission - Sonic Rade

  • If you want to create a subfolder per FileFormat, and inside this subfolder, other subfolders per Sampling Rate, enter : 
    <FileFormat>\<SampRate>/    
    e.g. <FileFormat>\<SampRate>\<TrackTitle> - <TrackPerfomer>  => WAV\96k\Transmission - Sonic Rade

Note: The total file path and file name length should not exceed 250 characters (Windows NTFS limitation)
 

Output folder

If no output folder is specified, or could not be written to the specified destination folder, files will be written by default  to C:\User\<login name>\My Music\
