Renumbering files based given number in order?

[ksuuk]

Hi,

I did search and made some attempts, but without success, so I'm asking from here.
I have 18 folders, with files, which have number in file name, for example:

CD01:
1.mp3
2.mp3
3.mp3
...
12.mp3

I need to add all files in order into one folder, so I must renumber files in folders CD02-18 and add them in order. Files amount in each folders are different, so I must select each folder and add manually number of the previous folder last file number and BRU should rename then every file and in correct order.

For example, last file in CD01 is 12.mp3, so for folder CD02 I need to use formula +12 (CD01 last file number + CD02 first file number), so that BRU should renumber files in order like:

CD02: (+12 to file name)
1.mp3 > 13.mp3
2.mp3 > 14.mp3
3.mp3 > 15.mp3
...
15.mp3 > 27.mp3

CD03: (+27 to file name)
1.mp3 > 28.mp3
2.mp3 > 29.mp3
3.mp3 > 30.mp3
...
17.mp3 > 44.mp3

etc

Can BRU do this?

I guess that you have your 18 folders in 1 folder called music or something like that, if not create a new folder and place your 18 folders there.
Install Mp3tag

Open the folder with the 18 folders

Go to search in the upper right corner type *mp3*, let it run a little search will find all your mp3 file in your 18 folders.
Go to Home on the left and select all. (Leave the selection open for later)
Right click the selection and click Mp3tag, all your files will be opend in the program.

Go to edit and click choose all files.

Your will see that files are not in order.

Click on path and your folder files should be in nice order by folder.
Now:
Click the command guide for autonumbering (box 1 2 3) 5th. from the right.
The command have all ready counted the number of files 1 to whatever.
Click OK.
Go to Tag->Filname 11 futher to the left, click and click ok.

Go to your selction right click copy paste to the folder you want your files in.
That`s it !!
It sounds of alot but takes 2 minutes

All the best good luck.

No problem, just nice to help.
It´s a very good tool for tag music files.

BRU should handle that just as well.
