Title: Batch Importing Music Tracks using OTS Studio
Post by: skylink on July 20, 2023, 01:45:23 PM
Hello All,

The above subject refers.

I have lots of digital music, whose track names have accented characters like these ones here:

é   ó   è     à   ř   á      ä     î   ç  ö     ø      ü      ñ   ï      å     í    ü   ë  č   ć,   ć    ; _
ł   ę   ÿ   ě   š     Š ú   ý  ã   ß  ê   ż  ò ù ì Ž

Now, the problem:
when I batch import the music, I get errors "the tracks could not be imported: Skipping. and the tracks cannot be read;". I inspected the affected tracks and concluded that ots studio refuses to import tracks named with accented characters.

Request:
Who can help me with a tool which can batch re-name (or remove accented characters) from all the tracks?

Is there a way we can configure ots studio to ignore accented characters and import the tracks the way they are?

Alex

The only suggestion I can make is to edit the files if the are mp3 to change them with an mp3 tag renamer program. I am sure some will do batches. I don't think you can configure studio to ignore accented characters.
I would try one track manually and rename it and then try to import it in studio. Also email Ots they may have a suggestion.
