REACT:Adding Support For Disc Information

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

This page provides code examples to allow you to update your image and track config files to create folders and tags using the @discnumber@, @totaldiscs@ and @discname@ tokens which are provided by default with Synthetic Soul's REACT Mod.

The code used includes settings for TAK, which can be added by following the guide "REACT:Adding Support For TAK". If you do not require TAK support you can either leave this code as-is, or remove any line referring to TAK.

Requirements

A version of REACT which has the Additional Meta Data dialogue, i.e.: Synthetic Soul's REACT Mod.
The beta version of metamp3, in order to set the TXXX frame "setsubtitle" for MP3 files, if @discname@ is provided.

REACT-image.cfg

Add the code below, somewhere at the beginning of your CFG file.

REM ** Create Disc-related tags if we have a set

The code below uses the FLAC image section to demonstrate the use of the %imageDir% and %Disc_Flac% variables. You will need to amend the other sections accordingly.

The code below uses the FLAC tracks section to demonstrate the use of the %trackDir% and %Disc_Flac_acdir% variables. You will need to amend the other sections accordingly.

REACT-track.cfg

Remove the lines:

SET TrackDir_Wavpack="@TrackDir_Wavpack@"
SET TrackDir_MP3="@TrackDir_MP3@"
SET TrackDir_AAC="@TrackDir_AAC@"
SET TrackDir_OGG="@TrackDir_OGG@"

... and replace them with the code below:

%imageDir% and %trackDir%

You may note that I use lines like:

SET imageDir=%imageDir%\$discname$

when I could use:

SET imageDir=\$discname$

This is simply so that the same technique could be used in other sections, before or after the section, all moving toward creating a variable that extends the base path. Using this technique all sections can append, or prepend, to %imageDir% and %trackDir% harmoniously.

For example, I might add another section, before these sections, to deal with an @albumsubtitle@ token. This section may end up setting:

SET imageDir=%imageDir% ($albumsubtitle$)

which could result in:

($albumsubtitle$)\Disc @discnumber@

This tip is a result of Synthetic Soul's dogged pursuit of a method to pass additional meta data into the REACT config files. This particular method was first documented in this post in the REACT 2 thread.
