Allows you to customize how Riptastic! creates file names for the tracks you select to rip.
To get here, select Options from the Tools Menu and go to the Files tab.
You can enter any characters you like in here—this will become the path and file name for the tracks you rip.
Use the backslash character ('\') to specify subdirectories.
You may also choose from several macros to make up your paths and file names:
%a
- The artist of the CD.
%d
- The title of the CD.
%g
- The genre of the CD.
%r
- The recording date of the CD.
%t
- The title of the track.
If no title is available, this is equivalent to %n.
%n
- The Riptastic!-generated name of the track (see below).
The information (e.g., CD title and artist) for the macros is obtained from the Disc Information and Track List areas of the Main Window.
Information may be downloaded from the Internet or manually entered/edited by the user.
| Example |
|
For purposes of these examples, assume the following information:
| Artist |
Metallica |
| Title |
Master of Puppets |
| Genre |
Heavy Metal |
| Recording Date |
1986 |
| Track 1's Title |
Battery |
| Track 2's Title |
Master of Puppets |
Also assume that the Generated track name format (described below) is set to %02d.
Then the following formats would look like:
| Format |
Track |
Example |
| %a\%d\%t |
1 |
Metallica\Master of Puppets\Battery.mp3 |
| 2 |
Metallica\Master of Puppets\Master of Puppets.mp3 |
| %a\%d\%n %t |
1 |
Metallica\Master of Puppets\01 Battery.mp3 |
| 2 |
Metallica\Master of Puppets\02 Master of Puppets.mp3 |

Note, when you change the file name format, it is only effective for new files that you rip after making the change.
Existing files are not renamed, moved, reorganized, or otherwise modified.
Hint: Use the arrow button to the right as a reminder and/or shortcut to insert the various macros available.
The example area shows a hypothetical preview of your format.
