You can keep whining, but I've already told you how.
Do it the easy way or do it your way.
Your choice.
The only issue I have with this tool is that it doesn't allow for placement of the third part of the string- the label & catalog info- into the comments field, as I'd like. (One could put that info in the album field though, which makes some kind of sense, and the writing an applescript to move data from one field to another is relatively simple.)
The problem with that is, the Label and Catalog info are separated by the same underscore character, making the Regular Expression editor think they are 2 separate fields and the best I can get it to do (I do not claim to know regular expression syntax) is-
with search= (.+)\s*_(.+)\s*_(.+)\s*_(.+) and replace =%t=1 %a=2 %l=3,
YIDDISHSQUAREDANCE_MickeyKatzandhisKosher-Jammers_RCAVICTOR_25-5081-B.mp3
translates to:
title: YIDDISHSQUAREDANCE
artist: MickeyKatzandhisKosher-Jammers
album: RCAVICTOR
where as you see the catalog number gets dropped.
I might find the proper formula with some experimentation, but perhaps you have an idea?
