Script for cleaning dance mp3 filenames

Rename Presets
, ,
1

Hi,

Here's a renaming script you may find useful. It's intended to rename those ugly dance mp3 filenames like...

01_-_some_artist_feat.some_guy-some_title-_www.blablabla.com.mp3

You can edit this script and customize it so it fits your personal needs.

To load a script:

  1. Open the renaming dialog
  2. Select File > Import and load the script file
  3. Click on "Add Preset" and name it.

v0.5 beta

This renaming script performs these changes:

  • Replaces underscores with spaces
  • Separates dashes (puts a space on each side)
    • List dashed words so their dashes are not separated (see 'dashedWords' array)
  • Replace square brackets with round brackets
  • Puts a space before opening brackets
  • Removes extra spaces (two ore more spaces together)
  • Removes leading and trailing spaces
  • Capitalizes first letter of each word (see 'separators' array if you want to change word separators)
    • List words with special case (see 'nonCapitalizedWords' array)
  • Replace "featuring" / "feat[.]" / "ft." with "ft"
  • Replace "presents" / "pres[.]" with "pres"
  • Replace "versus" / "vs[.]" with "vs"
  • Replaces "and" with "&"
  • Removes track number at the beginning
    • List artists that start with a number so their number is not deleted (see 'numberedArtists' array)
  • Removes extra text after second dash (usually it's rubbish): ARTIST - TITLE - EXTRA_TEXT
  • Sets extension to lower case

I must thank @leo for his Script to perform multiple Regular Expressions. I started my script from his.

Hope you like it! (I use it a lot of times!)

v0.6 beta

A little fix (removing extra text after last dash) and some performance improvements (I didn't know I could execute initializing code outside functions).

Thanks for your useful script, but it will be very better if you add exceptions for underlined file names too. For example, I didn't want see any change on file names with "_v" (e.g Directory Opus_v9.1.0.3). You script have not any solution for these cases.
