Subject:How to set the mp3 ID3 data in Script?

Posted by: Reboog711

Date:4/1/2013 8:30:51 PM

I am using a script, which I believe is modified from "Save Region As Files". The script is C# and saves each region as an mp3 file. During this process; I would like to use the region name as the Title of the mp3 tag. If possible; I'd also set the track number / total tracks values.

The rest of the ID3 values, such as artist name and album name can be set via the preset template.

How can this be done?

This is a screen shot sample from Sound Forge; with the named regions:

This is the Script:

/* =======================================================================================================

 *	Description: This script iterates through regions in the open file, renders the region to a specified

 *	                format, and saves the rendered file to a specified location.

 *

 *	Initial State: Run with a file open that contains regions.

 *

 *	Parameters (Args):

 *		type - the extension of the format to render regions to - DEFAULT: .pca

 *		preset - the name of the template to use for rendering - DEFAULT: prompt user

 *		dir - the directory the files should be rendered to - DEFAULT: c:\media\rips

 *

 *	Output: The queueing up of the file and the path name of the file

Make sure you use CODE tags when you post code into the forums. Does this script do what you want it to do?

In regards to your track number out of the total number of tracks issue, can we assume that each file you apply this script to will be one album, or will we need to reset the counter at some point? Your statement about this not always being contiguous is what is throwing a flag for me.

I had no idea about the CODE Tag; sorry. I believe I was able to successfully edit the post to make use of it.

The script does not do what I want it to do.

I'd like to set the ID3 metadata to the Title to the region title; which is.mk.Name
I'd like to set the ID3 metadata for TrackNo to "Counter/TotalRegions"

Neither of these are done in the script I originally posted.

I am applying this script to a single, open file. The file has both markers and regions; and looping over file.Markers appears to try to process both of them; thus making the mk.Ident value not consecutive.

There is a marker at the beginning and end of every region; so the numbering is like this:

1. Region 1; create a file
2. Marker 1: Do nothing
3. Region 2; create a file [that gets named as 3 instead of 2]
4. Marker 2: Do nothing
5. Region 3: Create a file [that gets named as 5 instead of 3]
etc...

You can see this in the screenshot I linked to.

I have continued to tweak the script and have got something that is closer to what I want but is far from ideal and permanently changes the metadata on the original file:

/* =======================================================================================================

Your script was a little complicated, so I wrote my own. It should give you a place to start.

This script asks the user for an output path and goes through a renderer list to select a rendering template. This could be hard-coded to a specific output format if you'd rather.

Note: You wanted the track number to list as "track number/total tracks," which isn't possible with the TrackNo field. It defaults to a non-zero padded integer for the ID3 tag.

Give it a try and let me know if something isn't working correctly.

I'll give it a try.

One thing I'll add is that--based on my understanding--setting the TrackNo field to track number/total tracks is how audio players--such as iTunes or DoubleTwist--tell the total tracks and display things like "2 of 10" or something similar.

In my second script; I do indeed set the TrackNo to "2/10" and that does indeed display the track number and total track in those tools.

You could add that functionality in by running through the foreach loop an extra time initially and incrementing an integer counter of some kind. Then you would just need to reformat the TrackNo assignment in the main foreach loop. It could be that this will work in some players, but Windows wouldn't show anything besides the integer track number.

That script does appear to work; although it created .sfk files in the output directory; which the original script did not. I assume it is a difference between renderAs and saveAs.

It did give me an idea of how to set the metadata directly, though. Adding this segment after the processing loop removed the metadata from the original file.

file.Summary.Title = "";

file.Summary.TrackNo = "";

I do not know why the original code was not doing that. I'm doing some tweaking and clean up and I'll post the final script.

This is the final script. I'll note that it is primarily based off the "Save regions as files" script which I believe was included in Sound Forge 10. I'm sorry it is too complicated. I did borrow the section to remove the extension from the window title.

Glad you've got something working that you like. A thought occurred to me with regards to the two loop situation. You could do the initial run through the markers checking for regions to get your total count. Store the regions that loop finds in an array ([,] with the start position and length of the region). Then you would only have to loop through that array of regions the second time, instead of the whole file of markers. It doesn't eliminate running two loops, but it might improve the efficiency just a touch.

Just a thought.

That's a great idea. I'll keep it in mind if performance becomes an issue. As it stands now; the loops run blazing fast and the roadblock is in the conversion.
