Number Sequence


The Number Sequence function allows you to set tag values to a generated sequence of numbers. You can also add a sequence of numbers to an existing tag at any position. The sequence increments once for every file that you have selected. So if you have 14 files selected, the sequence will increment 14 times. This function may be especially useful for quickly filling out the Track Number tag.

Action - The Number Sequence Function offers a couple of different actions. These actions are described below.

Tag - Which tag to apply the number sequence to. A number sequence can be applied to any tag.

Position - This option appears when the Insert Number Sequence At Position action is selected. This is the position in the tag's existing value where the number sequence should be inserted. For example, if you wanted to insert a sequence of numbers five characters into the Track Title, you would enter 5 for the position.

Sequence Starts At - This is the number that the sequence begins at.

Increments By - This is the number that the sequence increments by.

Padding Digits - This is the minimum number of digits that the number sequence should always be. Zeros are prepended before the number sequence, up to the number of digits specified. For example, if you enter 3, the value of 1 will become 001, the value 12 would become 012 and the value 999 will stay as 999.

Prefix - A prefix string to put before the number sequence.

Suffix - A suffix string to put after the number sequence.

Increment Sequence - When the sequence should increment.

Reset Sequence - When the sequence should reset.

Apply To - Allows you to choose if you want to apply this function to all files or only the selected files.

Preview - When you turn on Preview Mode, you will see what the results of this function are going to be. The results will be shown in red text.
