Here you get an overview what Toricxs does in each step.

Now let’s have a look at a schematic drawing showing how the whole renaming process works:

Like you already know Toricxs cleans up your mp3/wma/wav files in 12 steps. The steps are listed in the middle of the drawing. Let’s start at step 1. There you will tell Toricxs what directories contain music files you want to clean up. These directories can be located on the hard disk of your own computer, or on network machines. The program can collect the names of the sub directories of a user-defined start directory, and will then check if these sub directories contain mp3/wma/wav files. Every dir that contains music files (i.e. mp3/wma/wav files) is ‘added’, that means Toricxs ‘memorizes’ its name and will later read file data from it. If you want to add as much directories as possible then you can use the Mega-Scan (‘LAN-Grabbing’).

In steps 2 and 3 you do some configuration work, that means you give Toricxs information required for renaming and cleaning.

In step 4 the file names, v1, v2.2 and v2.3 TAG data is read from the files in the scan directories into memory. Toricxs will decide which of the three TAG data sources is the most useful one and will continue using this source’s data. Please note: TORICXS WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR FILES ‘TILL STEP 11! All changes you will do in further steps will be saved in memory, your files won’t be altered.

During the steps 5 to 7 you have the chance to do a spelling error check, and two further checks (will be explained later).

When you arrived at step 8, you can tell Toricxs how the file name- and directory format of your new, cleaned-up collection should look like. Then the new file names will be created out of the TAG data and will be saved in memory.

You will then be automatically taken to step 9, where you can the first time view and edit the TAG data of all your files. In step 10 you will be shown the Explorer-preview that shows you how your new collection will look like in the Windows-Explorer when it’s cleaned up.

And then you arrive at step 11. That’s the most important step because now your mp3/wma/wav files will be copied or moved (depending on your decision in step 1) to their new directories, and the files will be given a new file name and its TAG will be written if not existing yet, or overwritten if it already exists.

After renaming, in step 12 you can create a file that contains information about your new collection so that sharing files over the Internet is made easier.
