Subject: RE: Tech: Rip multiple CDs chronological in mp3 folder
So, as I understand it, your ripper produces a structure like this:
├── audiobook_title
│ ├─ First_disc
│ │ ├── Track_1
│ │ ├── Track_2
│ │ └── Track_3
│ ├─ Second_disc
│ │ ├── Track_1
│ │ ├── Track_2
│ │ ├── Track_3
│ │ └── Track_4
│ ├─ ...
But you want them something like this:
├── audiobook_title
│ ├─ 001 First_disc_Track_1
│ ├─ 002 First_disc_Track_2
│ ├─ 003 First_disc_Track_3
│ ├─ 004 Second_disc_Track_1
│ ├─ 005 Second_disc_Track_2
│ ├─ 006 Second_disc_Track_3
│ ├─ 007 Second_disc_Track_4
│ ├─ ...
And there's nothing in the folder names (First_disc, Second_disc, ...) which is in a fixed position that you can sort on - unless you add it yourself (eg. 01 First_disc, 02 Second_disc, ...)
Is that right?
If nobody comes up with an easy way of doing that, It should be possible using a script - though I'm not very familiar with Windows scripting. It could copy them based on the date on which each file is written. (Assuming the ripper writes them one at a time - mine does several in parallel, but can we told not to.)
