Request for help creating a template

Postby lkmcmillen » Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:22 pm

I'm a long time registered user of Helium Music Manager, who is a bit dense with regard to the utilization of some of it's features. At the moment I'm working with the beta version of Helium Music Manger 7, and there are two things I could use some help with.

1. A template for renaming files, and moving them into folders and subfolders using the following guideline:

Folder: <Artist Name>
Sub-Folder: <(Release Year)> <Album Title> <(Album Sub-Title)>
Sub-Folder: <CD##> (Don't create if not used)
Sub-Folder Content: Track # - Track Title

Example:

The Beatles
1968 The Beatles (White Album)
CD1
01 - Back in the U.S.S.R
CD2
01 - Birthday[/indent]

2. Is there a feature in Helium Manager which could be used to print a track list on paper in a format that could be easily trimmed and used as the CD Tray cover insert, as follows?:

<Artist Name>
<Release Year> <Album Name> (Album sub-title)
<CD#? of <#>

<Track #> - <Track title>
<track #> - <Track title>

Example:

The Beatles
1968 The Beatles (White Album)
CD 1 of 2 (Or whatever is workable)

01 - Back in the U.S.S.R
02 - Track name
03 - Track name

Thank you.

I made a little video showing a template for the rename files wizard that should match your expectations.

Regarding your request of a template for the print report tools... well yes it is possible but not over the gui, only be writing a custom template by hand. I don't know how to do this.

Cool! And the video is clear and easy to read/view. Thank you!

What software did you utilize to create the video?
