KMA and MP3+G naming on database and better name importing options

[Big KJ]

This is not my problem, to add new disc not on bucket.
I'll do that all the time and I'm okay with that.

What I would like to have is some program routine that looks at my songs files and checks for inconsistencies and repair those in an automatic (kind of...) way; instead of going on and check one by one.

An KJ File Manager does this and only this!

My point is that:

Having, lets say for example these 3 naming variations for the same song:

SC3001 - Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U
SF825 - Sinead O' Conner - Nothing Compares To You
EZ25 - Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares To U

Imagine a program that recognizes that these are the same song and actualy replaces the wrong or diferent spellings with only one, so they can appear in only 1 instance and not as if 3 diferent songs are, it would be fantastic.

Thats what KJ File Manager does.

At this point this works great for MP3G (which I do have only a few), but what they told me is that they will do the same for KMA files if there are enough Hoster users asking for it.

So my goal is to have this program looking at my songs folder, find the inconsistencies, do the repair (and this repair is very easy) and afterwards have Hoster rebuilding my song list so my booklists look without errors.

Wouldn't that be great?

Hi Big Kj,

just read your post and Im hoping you've given me the answer to my problem. I have 1000's of CDG+mp3 files.

My problem is I've renamed every file according to its numbered disc folder as follows:

Eg: Folder Disc 001:

Disc/Trk Title Artist

01 - 01 Hot hot hot - Buster Poindexter.cdg
01 - 01 Hot hot hot - Buster Poindexter.mp3
01 - 02 I'm so excited - The Pointer Sisters.cdg
01 - 02 I'm so excited - The Pointer Sisters.mp3
01 - 03 Strokin' - Clarence Carter.cdg
01 - 03 Strokin' - Clarence Carter.mp3
01 - 04 Come on ride the train - Quad City Dj's.cdg
01 - 04 Come on ride the train - Quad City Dj's.mp3

In my post, I've learnt from those who responded what I have to do for Hoster to Import my files. The short of it is I have to re-write every file again. A task I really dont want to do as you could imagine.

Taking the examples from above,(which is exactly how Iv named my files), all I have to do is insert just a "space Dash space" " - " between "Track & Title". Hoster then recognizes the files and will import them.

My question is, will KJ File manager rename all my files by just adding that " - " ??

If it does I will definately buy the program cause I am not able to utilize Hoster with its full potential

Cheers

According to gd123 Norton "Total Commander" does a great job and is free. Also one of my Televison enginere friends told me about how handy it was.

Free is good!
