REACT:Adding Support For Disc Information

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, REACT 2.0.ssb9.

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, currently REACT 2.0.ssb9 which is discussed in the REACT 2 thread
• 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

REM If a disc name has been provided

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.

IF NOT @ImageExt@==flac GOTO end_flac_image

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_Flac="@TrackDir_Flac@"
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:

:end_flac_tracks

%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.
