Removing the track number from the filename in iTunes 8

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

iTunes 8, in it’s usual Apple-think-they-know-best wisdom removed the option to specify whether the track number is included in the filename when copying a CD. So it always creates something like 01 first track.mp3… and I don’t want it to. Luckily there is a solution:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes create-filenames-with-tracknumber –bool FALSE

(found on an Apple discussion forum along with a few other “lost options” that I don’t care so much about)
