Naming Convention Guidelines for Your Audio Files

Do you need to ensure standard filenames for your audio files? You can do so automatically using Audio Analysis!

When creating a custom preset in Audio Analysis, you are able to enter a template for the file names. 

This ensures that all of your uploaded audio files follow the correct naming convention!

There are many templates to choose from.

You can use as many as you'd like, separated by an underscore "_".

See them listed below: 

Numbers:

"###": numbers (at least 1)

"0##": numbers starting from zero

Text:

"a-z": lowercase text

"A-z": text starting from capital

"A-Z": upper case text

"a-Z": text with any case

Dates:

"MM-DD-YYYY"

"DD-MM-YYYY"

"MM-DD-YY"

"DD-MM-YY"

"YY-MM-DD"

"MMM-DD-YYYY"

"DD-MMM-YYYY"

"MMM-DD-YY"

"DD-MMM-YY"

"MM/DD/YYYY"

"DD/MM/YYYY"

"MM/DD/YY"

"DD/MM/YY"

"YY/MM/DD"

"MMM/DD/YYYY"

"DD/MMM/YYYY"

"MMM/DD/YY"

"DD/MMM/YY"

Flexible fields:

"ChapterIndex": index of a chapter (basically a unique number for each chapter)

"BookTitle": title of a book

"BookOwner": email of book owner

"BookCustomer": email of project customer

Example #1

Let's say this is a correctly named file for your organization showing the File Number, the Book Title, the Chapter Number, and the first name of the Narrator:

001_SherlockHolmes_Chapter_1_Johnny.wav

You would enter the template like this:

0##_BookTitle_A-z_A-z_ChapterIndex_A-z

Example #2

If your standard naming convention looks like this:

007_Chapter4.mp3

You would simply use:

0##_A-z_ChapterIndex

Example #3

If your standard naming convention looks like this: 

002_Chapter_2_Something_Isn't_Right_9/14/23.mp3

You would use:

0##_A-z_ChapterIndex_A-z_A-z_A-z_MM/DD/YY
