Hi..

I would like to know if there's a way to threat the metadata fields as tags for the mp3 files; the meaning purpose is to get some metadata from my files..
For example, before starting using Calibre I used to rename my ebook files something like that..

Code:

Topolino n.0828 [10.ott.71].cbr

Topolino is both the ebook's title and the name of the series; 828 is the progressive number for the series; and 10.ott.71 is, naturally, the date of the original issue..
So, it would be great if importing this file into Calibre all these field automatically were into its right places: first I should obviously describe the structure of the filename. In this case, for example, something like:

Code:

%Title% n.%Number% [%publishdate%]

Naturally this is only an example and I know that often the brackets need apostrophe ' or some other way to be excluded, mine is only an example.
It's easy to understand all the advantages this trick could bring when importing and cataloguing ebooks, much of all considering the series collection and large number of files named with the same structure (as all of us use to do, I'm pretty sure).

What do you think about? It's an idea or only a crap??

Thanks for paying attention,
see you!
