Hi All

Can you help?

The file names in my scenes are not showing correctly.

I have recently updated my filenames to show the key and bpm at the start, however, when i drag into a scene it doesn't show. Although the folder view in live does show the correct name. The asd file is the same name as the music file too.

even when i renamed some songs that have not been used in ableton, it doesnt show.... any ideas?

Could you give an example? What's the original file name, and how is it changed when imported into a scene?

hi Peter

The file name is for example..

1A - 131.97 - Dash_Berlin_-_Till_The_Sky_Falls_Down_(Club_Mix).mp3
1A - 131.97 - Dash_Berlin_-_Till_The_Sky_Falls_Down_(Club_Mix).mp3.asd

Then when I import into the scene it just says...

Dash_Berlin_-_Till_The_Sky_Falls_Down_(Club_Mix)

Missing off the Key info and the BPM...

Any ideas?

Maybe it has to do with the spaces in the beginning of the original file names. try using underscores to link everything together into one character string. Just a random thought....

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I don't think this is the issue; all my files are named in the exact same format and only certain files have this problem...
