to a fresh root folder, like in this tutorial 'E:\myMP3'
For that use the function 'Move files to flat folder'
After moving all media files to our root folder, open a windows explorer and look for
this basic situation what we have:
• Tutorial to use 'Rename' and 'Folder Structure Generator'
This is a step-by-step
tutorial to show how to
move and organize (Folder Structure)
and rename media files with NordBeat's Jukebox.
We're
just using functions under [Admin->Songs] only. Well,
let's go...
After you have scanned
your sound files on your hard disk, you can move all these files
to a fresh root folder, like in this tutorial 'E:\myMP3'
For that use the function 'Move files to flat
folder'
After moving all media files to
our root folder, open a windows explorer
and look for
this basic situation what we have:
I know what you're thinking now,
not very exciting, I'm right?
Well, it's a good idea for a clean organisation of all
sound files, when you move all
your media
files to a root folder first. Ok, move on to the next step...
We want to rename our
sound files now and click Rename all file names using database
tags
We decide to choose the rename format as we can see below: Artist -
Song Title - Time
Click 'Rename' button and let's see the
result in windows explorer:
Don't be too disappointed, my demo
samples aren't too much expressive! ;-)
However, I guess you can put the best construction upon.
Look at the last four songs, if you have files with the same titles,
NordBeat's Jukebox
enumerates them to prevent overwriting other existing media files!
Let's get ready to rumble and
bring some tidiness to our collection.
So we click Folder Structure
Generator and select folder field: Album
Click 'Create Structure' button and
refresh your Windows Explorer:
Nice, ehh? You can organize your
whole song
collection which you please directly on
the hard disks!
You don't like current folder structure? No problem...
Click again Folder Structure
Generator and select folder fields: Genre & Album
Switch to windows explorer and refresh it:
As you can see, you can select a
folder structure up to four folder depth
and
re-structure your music collection! Try again step
Folder Structure Album and
you can undo last step! Empty structure folders are deleted to clean up all
traces...
Another
important feature of NordBeat's Jukebox:
If we change the name (in the Jukebox) of Album '<no album>' to 'no known Album',
the folder names of all albums
are updated immediately, see below:
Comprende?
We reached the end of this tutorial, I
hope you got some impressions about the
organizing functions of NordBeat's Jukebox!
Have fun!
