Using variable tokens in file names and metadata

Audio Hijack’s Recorder block supports the use of variable tokens to automatically name files and apply metadata to recordings. These tokens are available in pop up menus to the right of each File name and metadata field, but they can also be typed manually.

Currently supported variable tokens include:

Session Name

%name

File Counter

%counter

Date

%date

Year

%year

Month

%month

Day

%day

Time

%time

Hour

%hour

Minute

%minute

Second

%second

For tags, the general rule is to use the percent symbol (%), then the text tag, and then an underscore character (_) before the tag.

Title Tag

%tag_title

Artist Tag

%tag_artist

Album Tag

%tag_album

Genre Tag

%tag_genre

Comment Tag

%tag_comment

Year Tag

%tag_year

Track Tag

%tag_track

Disc Tag

%tag_disc

The “Track Count” and “Disc Count” tags are similar to their corresponding “Track” and “Disc” tags, so if you continue typing the “count” portion to those variable names it’ll replace the original with the "Count" version. They are as follows:

Track Count Tag

%tag_trackcount

Disc Count Tag

%tag_disccount
