Annoying Beatport****ty number
View this Thread in Original format
A.B
What the is it with this ing number that appears in the file name of any ing track you download from Beatport.

I ing hate Beatport for this reason but it was a couple of tracks I couldn't get anywhere else.

Anyone know how to get rid of the ing thing??

Cheers

You can use the Beatport Downloader application to give you some control over how the files are named, including removing the catalogue number. It still doesn't give quite as much control as I'd like (for example, if you want to have artist, track, mix and label in the filename, you have to put the label after the artist), but it's definitely an improvement over downloading through your browser.

What the does the file name matter?

The number in the file name makes no difference to me. I use the Beatport Downloader to download all of my newly bought tracks at once. Then U use mp3tag to get the metadata how I want it and automatically rename my mp3 files.

it's the track's id number in the beatport database.

Can't you just remove it in the files properties? Is it really that difficult? :rolleyes:

No not a "newb"

Just wondering why the most expensive download store on the planet would require me to alter a file to make things easier....?

The number serves me no purpose. Why should I waste time changing it?
I want:

artist
track


How ing hard can it be for the money grabbing ******s to alter?
