I did have a couple ideas around this I'd like to suggest - some applications (like EAC) allow you to specify arbitrary naming schemes - prior to Ephpod, I had some redundancy built in, and named files as: %a\%l\%a - %l - %n - %t.ext The other thing is the ability to override ID3 tags - suppose for example I'm downloading some stuff off the net (no boos - I have a scratched up Smashing Pumpkins CD that won't extract a few songs), and it comes with some tags already in there (maybe artist and title) - I've renamed the file to conform to a %a/%l/%n-%t.ext scheme with the rest of the songs I was, but when I import, it still takes the incomplete ID3 tag. Perhaps some way to specify order of precedence (pull info from file name first, then any unspecified field can be read (either from ID3v1 or v2 tags) - maybe that would be buried under "advanced features". On a completely unrelated note, is there any way to take advantage of the star rating system for songs to build playlists? --Ben > I am currently (as in right now) working on the feature that reads > information from filename/path based on how you set it up (i.e. > %a/%l/%n-%t.ext > > --joe > > On Sat, 12 Jul 2003, richard wrote: > > >>I wrote a few messages on this subject within the past week.
