Field 1 selection:
Artist (will identify "Beatles,_The")
Following delimitor field:
_-_
Field 2 selection:
Title (will identify "Oh_Darling")
Following delimitor field:
_-_
Field 3 selection:
DiscID (will identify "SC2069-03")
Following delimitor field:
. (period to end the field string)
NOTE 1: "_" before "The" will end up in the final Artist name. It may be easier to import this way, then use the Tools menu Edit Songs command to find all songs still containing "_" and remove them IF desired. If not, they will appear in the Artist name.
NOTE 2: The last delimitor being set to "." could be replaced with "-", followed by Field 4 selection of "Track" to identify the Track# independently if desired. In this latter case, the very last delimitor field still must be a ".". Example:
Field 3 selection:
DiscID (will identify "SC2069")
Following delimitor field:
-
Field 4 selection:
Track (will identify "03")
Following delimitor field:
. (period to end the field string)
NOTE 3: This convention will locate ALL "Beatles,_The" and add them under one (or more) "Root BookID" number(s), with up to 99 "tracks" for each auto-incremented "Root BookID".
Due to the extreme flexibility we have built into the
Import Hard Drive Files screen, you will probably need to read the Manual (
) on the
Define Field Order topic. There are many examples to help you visualize how it works with various field arrangements.
The fact that there are "_" instead of spaces in your "fields", means the "_" characters will end up in your final fields contents. Since you have used that naming convention, I can only assume you want these to be present. Note #1 addresses how to replace the "_" characters with "spaces" after importing.
Hope this helps.
