LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Thunar media-tags-plugin (Gentoo)

for anyone else looking for an answer to this, here is what I did.

utilizing eyeD3, awk and sed

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Change values first!!!"

#SAVEIFS=$IFS

#IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

#for ino in $( ls ); do

#    art=$(pwd | rev | awk -F'[/-]' '{ printf "%s\n", $5 }' | rev | sed -e 's/^ *//g;s/ *$//g')

#    alb=$(pwd | rev | awk -F'[/-]' '{ printf "%s - %s\n", $1, $2 }' | rev | sed -e 's/^ *//g;s/ *$//g')

#    ttl=$(echo $ino | awk -F" - " '{ printf "%s\n", $2 }' | awk -F'.' '{print $1}' | sed -e 's/^ *//g;s/ *$//g')

#    trk=$(echo $ino | awk '{ printf "%s\n", $1 }' | sed -e 's/^ *//g;s/ *$//g')

#    yer=$(pwd | rev | awk -F'[/-]' '{ printf "%s\n", $2 }' | rev | sed -e 's/^ *//g;s/ *$//g' )

#    yer="2006"

#    eyeD3 --to-v2.4 -a $art -A $alb -t $ttl -n $trk -Y $yer $ino

#    eyeD3 --rename="%A - %a - %t {2006}" $ino

#done

#IFS=$SAVEIFS

run this script in the folder where the music is. It grabs the info from the folders/filenames, corrects the id3 and then renames the files using this new format. enjoy!
