Jon Freeman Tech: Rip multiple CDs chronological in mp3 folder (33) RE: Tech: Rip multiple CDs chronological in mp3 folder 02 Jul 21


It would need more work and testing on Windows and things would depend on creation order but I'd probably be looking at a Python3 script along these lines.

import os
import sys
from pathlib import Path

i = 1

def dopaths(currpath):
   
    global i
    global outpath
   
    try:
       paths = sorted(Path(currpath).iterdir(), key=os.path.getctime)
    except:
       print("path not found: " + currpath)
       return
   
    dirname = os.path.basename(currpath)
   
    for afile in paths:
       if (os.path.isdir(afile)):
                dopaths(str(afile))
       elif (".mp3" == os.path.splitext(afile)[1]):
            newname = str(i).zfill(2) + "-" + dirname + "-" + os.path.basename(afile)
            os.rename(afile, os.path.join(outpath, newname))
            i = i + 1
    try:
       os.rmdir(currpath)
    except:
       pass

try:
    dirpath = sys.argv[1]
    outpath = sys.argv[2]
except:
    print("Usage: test2.py sourcepath destpath")
    sys.exit()
   
try:
    os.mkdir(outpath)
except FileExistsError:
    pass
except:
    print("can not create destpath")
    sys.exit()
   
dopaths(dirpath)

But I don't think most Windows users have Python installed.
