SetAttr META Itunes compilation?

Compilation and disc number are two unrelated things.

Compilation means the album (on however many discs) is a "various artists" collection. Some software like iTunes has a special mode for those.

Thanks for the correction! And sorry for not checking more carefully :flushed:

We'll see if we can add the compliation tag in the next update.

1 what view is this ?
2 create a macro in dopus sounds great

i have buttons for almost all my music needs now but would love one the set the disknumber as 1/3 2/3 3/3 .. i need it in 1/3 2/3 3/3 format

know i can enter with metadata pane but would love a button and before someone tells me to use mp3tag it can't write 1/3 2/3 3/3 with out a lot of stuffing around
is the screen shot of the black album the metadata pane ? if so how to set it up to look that way ?

You could set up a button if you want but I'm not sure what the point would be?

SetAttr META discnumber:2/3

ok the point is if you have a lot of albums a button is much better

all album folder names are cd1 cd2 cd3 and so on

i know about SetAttr META discnumber but how to tell dopus to set from folder name ?

this button did work

SetAttr META "discnumber:{filepath$|..|nopath|noterm}"

but was 1 2 3 ... i need 1/3 2/3 3/3

Depends what the folder names are. You may need a custom script if the names aren't already just numbers on their own.

folder names are cd1 cd2 cd3

You'd need a script to work out how many folders there are.

i have no idea about scripting
