Hi!
This started to interest me also and I was surprised that I couldn't find ready code for this. Anyway, here it is:
//All folders
For Each Dir in DirList ('C:\Music\*')
//All MP3-files
For Each File In FileList (Dir & '\*.mp3')
Files:
Load
'$(File)' as Name,
SubField('$(File)','\',3) as Artist_Disk, //My folder structure is C:\Music\Artist\Album\Track
FileTime('$(File)') as FileTime,
Attribute('$(File)','title') as Title,
Attribute('$(File)','artist') as Artist,
Attribute('$(File)','album') as Album,
Attribute('$(File)','year') as Year,
Attribute('$(File)','comment') as Comment,
Attribute('$(File)','zero-byte') as ZeroByte,
Attribute('$(File)','track') as Track,
Attribute('$(File)','genre') as Genre,
RangeSum(Peek('FileCount'), 1) as FileCount
Autogenerate 1;
Next File
Next Dir
Since this is mostly for my personal use I didn't use parameterized dirlist or file extension list. I also omitted covers, since I'm not too interested about those:) It reads all ID3v2 tags.
If you have mixed music collection then also tags have varying quality. If I would develop this further I'd add an counter for files in a single folder.
