Trim, Append, Prepend, and Recurse Actions

[torresus]

Would it be possible to add the ability to trim tag values such as trimming the "01" from the title "01 Billie Jean"?

How about being able to append a tag such as adding "(explicit)" to the end of the title to become "Billie Jean (explicit)"?

Also, prepend a tag such as adding "The" to the beginning of the artist to become "The Eagles"?

How about the ability to "recurse" a top level folder so that all the songs within sub-folders are listed instead of going through one folder at a time?

I use a product called KJ File Manager that is mainly for karaoke but does the same for MP3's and it has these actions if you'd like to review: http://www.karaosoft.com/ProductDetails_KJFileManager.aspx

You can using regex replace from the tags menu for this. This uses a regular expression patten to specific what to replace

trim numbers from the start

regex: ^\d+ (.*)
Replacement:  $1 

Prepend The

regex:  ^
Replacement:  The 

Append (Words)

regex: $ 
Replacement:  (words)

Thank you for the quick response! Great product by the way! Is there a user manual for regex commands? Also, any note on recursing sub-folders?

Try http://regexr.com,

Recursively listing a directory in general would be a bad idea, since they can be very large e.g mine is 20Gb+ with 5000+ song and thats small compared with other people I know. Another problem is actually editing that many files at once would take a long time, I have yet to implemented a way of showing how the tagging is going, so to the user it would look like the app was frozen when it actually working fine.
