This little file exists becuase I love buying music on Bandcamp but dislike how each track is displayed when I download the them onto my phone.

When you buy an album on Bandcamp, each track is labelled in the following format: "Artist - Album - 01 Track Name"

Whilst this has all the information you need, when you view the track name on a small screen, all you ever see is the artist's name. This file fixes that.

In a nutshell, it rearranges the track names of all your Bandcamp purshases to the following format: "01_Track_Name___Artist___Album"

Not only does it rearrange the names to make them more legible, it also removes dreaded whiespace AND keeps track of all the albums it has already acted upon.

• the path to your music library

• :ref - the file that will store the list of albums that have already been processed in order to prevent them from being constantly rearranged.

• :ignore - a list of strings that are the names of the directories that you do not want to apply the function to. For example:

'("iTunes" "a non bandcamp album" "another album I didn't buy on bandcamp")

• :extension - the extension of the audio files to look for. At the moment this can only accept one and may break if you apply the function to a folder with more than one kind of extension. I will try to fix this if/when I find time. For now it works and bandcamp downloads only ever contain a single file format anyway.

An integer representing the number of albums processed.

NB: this function will also create a file, by default ".bandcamp_fixes" in the root director of you music collect. You need this. Do not delete. If you do delete it and then run the function again, who knows what might happen to your track names. You have been warned!

NB: This is a work in progress and it may break on certain tracknames if they are quite complex and contain lots of hyphens and stuff. Why not help me fix it? Fri 5 Jun 2020 22:32:33 BST - Have made steps to fix this, should now work better with hyphens in track names.

1. Make the function work on multiple extensions at once
2. Make the renaming bulletproof
3. Add some kind of memory and a funciton to undo, just in case.
