Reversing the "avoid track-number in filename" setting ?

Strange question, I know, but....
Been doing the changes to the iTunesPrefs.xml file as discussed in many threads:
</data>
<key>create-filenames-with-disknumber</key>
<data>
AA==
</data>
with some success, and iTunes was working away reorganizing my library without the filenames prefixed with track numbers, as I wanted.
However, WinXP being Windows, crashed in mid-reorg and iTunes did not complete its reorg. Upon rebooting and fixing the basic iTunes preferences again, iTunes now seems to ignore the setting altogether, and then some: it reorganizes without the track number or even the artist name in front of the track title!
So I end up with:
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\Are You Lonesome Tonight.mp3
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\Can't Help Falling in Love.mp3
instead of:
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight.mp3
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling in Love.mp3
or even:
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\1 - Are You Lonesome Tonight.mp3
S:\Our Music\Elvis Presley\Elvis in Concert\2 - Can't Help Falling in Love.mp3
Is there another "key" to tell it to use the artist name? Or how about a simple reversal of the track number setting? What would be the equivalent of TRUE if "AA==" means FALSE?
Incidently, removing the section altogether does not revert back to filenames-with-disknumber... that would be too easy!
Any help would be appreciated.

I prefer to do all ID3 editing outside of iTunes, as I have seen edits to be not directly made to files. I am big on tagscanner 5.0 after organizing my entire library of over 8800 songs. Tagscanner will allow you to rename your files based on several ID3 values. I can explain.
When using tagscanner 5.0, you make edits to the song title, album, artist, album artist, track number (#/# if you want the "of"), year, album art, comment, genre, disc #, composer, publisher...blah blah blah. You can then rename each file using the values that have been entered or already known. You want title, track number, codec type, length in seconds...select those. It is easy to tell it what you want in a file name. You just want artist and title, easy enough, just tell it you want just that. There is a drop down where you can select the more popular formats, you can even add your own characters to the file name.
I used tagscanner to clean up the ID3 tags and file/folder names of my entire library. Once I got started, it went pretty fast, each album only took about a minute to do, including finding artwork.

  • Avoid track-number in filename?

    Hi!
    I thought I posted this yesterday, but it disappeared...
    Is there a way to have iTunes 8.1 to manage my files (name or rename a track according to it's title, and keep the folder structure as supposed), whithout adding the track- and disc-number?
    I think this is rather annoying, since I often end up with files like "01 01 01 title of track 1.m4a" (or similar)...
    I just don't find the button to disable track-numbering...
    thanks verymuch in advance

  • With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

    With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • ITunes 9.0.1 - continuously adding the Track number to filenames?

    Hi all,
    So I recently added some MP3's I had into my iTunes 9.0.1 library (automatically added by iTunes; "Upgraded" Media Organization enabled), and all was well.
    Until I noticed something very odd: When the files were first added, every single one had a "01" or "02" in the front of its file name, and I discovered this was corresponding to the track number - not all that big of a deal.
    *But what's really driving me insane is the fact that _every time_ I play a song, the same number that was in front of the file name, "01" or "02," is automatically added in front of the file name. I.e., if I play an MP3 _fifteen times_, fifteen "01" or "02" will show up in front of the file name.*
    Can anyone inform me of what's causing this and what a solution would be? (And how to restore the filenames of all the MP3's I added?)
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks & regards,
    banshonman

    Nota bene: The MP3's I added are Korean songs, with titles and artists typed in Korean. My speculation is that there's some kind of parsing bug with regards to how iTunes 9.0.1 looks at titles when it comes to foreign character sets... But I want to see if anyone else has been having this extremely annoying problem.

  • Does anyone know the street address for Apple's repair center in Memphis, TN? I sent my 2010 MBP for display problems but didnt write down the FedEx tracking number.

    I was an idiot and lost the tracking number for my package that was goin to Memphis to be fixed and of course the package supposedly still hasn't arrived after being sent 3 day ago an was overnighted.  I'm pretty sure it's goin to Flextronics but for FedEx to track it they need the street address. All I have is the zip code of 38134. Thanks for the help.

  • Can you hide the "unique tracking number" in the email subject line?

    I noticed that if I use the "New Activity -> Email" function from the CRM toolbar in Outlook, it appends the subject line with a CRM:XXXXXXX unique tracking number.  I'm not sure that my customers would react very well to knowing that I am tracking this email in my CRM system, so, is there a way to NOT show this number yet still track the email?  From what I've read, we can turn off this feature globally, but that would prevent us from tracking emails all together.  I was wondering why this information wasn't just stored in the header of the email instead of being blatantly obvious in the subject line.  FYI, we are on CRM 4.0.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    although Dynamics CRM uses the tracking token to match the mail with specific records, it doesn't rely completly on that token.
    There is also a feature called smart matching which is used to assign the mails.
    See http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2008/11/11/microsoft-dynamics-crm-email-correlation-and-smart-matching.aspx and http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2009/06/23/how-to-toggle-smart-matching-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-0.aspx

  • Why doesn't the FedEx Tracking number data detector work in Mail anymore?

    Hi there,
      I'm running OS X 10.8.3 and Mail 6.3 (1503).  I had an email come in that had a FedEx Tracking Number.  The data detector picked it up and I was able to right-click and select "Track My Package".  Unfortunately there was a "Communication Error" in the pop-up window so it failed.  When I clicked 'Open in Safari" it worked!  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Yes, I can confirm it no longer works. My guess is that FedEx changed their site in some way that broke the lookup from within Mail. You do indeed have to open up Safari (or some other web browser) to track a package now.
    Regards.

  • ITunes puts track number in name field?

    I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and a new issue has arisen. I loaded a new album into my library and I proceeded to apply track numbers to the songs. Usually I would click "Get Info" on the first song, enter the number in the track field, hit alt+n to go to the next song, type the next track number, etcetera. However when I hit alt+n to go to the next track, the name field gets highlighted instead of the track number field, so I have to click again on the track number field before I enter the number. This is quite a hindrance as before I could easily apply many track numbers within a short time, but this makes things so much more tedious. Is there a setting to fix this, or is this just a temporary bug that will be fixed later?

    It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
    I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

  • Received iPhone 5 (UK) tracking number, confirmation email and text. Number not working in UPS. I pre-ordered at 9:30am 14/09/12 in UK. Anyone else having this trouble?

    Can anyone tell me what they think might be happening here with UPS?
    Is it because it takes a while for UPS to get the tracking number on the system...?
    It's a bit stupid to provide a tracking number so soon, if tracking isn't even available yet. Doesn't make sense!
    Maybe I am too impatient, but who isn't, right? :-)

    Yeah im in the exact same position, apple said it's shipped and showed tracking numbers on their website but the ones I saw were invalid tracking numbers for UPS(10 characters), I then phoned Apple and the lady their gave me the actual tracking number(18 characters) which was a pre-signed number meaning it had not been activated on the UPS system, she said wait till tomorrow(20th) or Friday morning and it will be activated.
    I'm personally pretty sure it will be activated sometime tomorrow.

    You made Adobe Reader the default progrm for what: .pdf files, or anything else?

  • Tracking Number for Inbound Deliveries

    We are trying to get ASNs from our suppliers for their shipments. We would like to capture the carrier tracking number (e.g. the Fedex number) from the supplier. I'm using segment E1EDL47-TRACKN in the DELVRY03.DESADV idoc. I'm not able to get the tracking number in this segment to populate into the inbound delivery.
