iToc is a GUI front end for a perl script.
ctrl-click or right click on the itoc application, and select "Show
Package Contents". The perl script is in "Contents/Resource".
You can update the perl script to create the title tag the way you
want. I've updated the perl script to change .m4p filenames in the
playlists to .mp3, and to not export .m4p, .m4a, and .aa files into the
toc. I can send you a copy if you want.
I have no problems playing songs in order; I just click play next to
the album name.

I am using iTOC on a Mac running OS X to make my file. It grabs the

One would think that doing this 'THE RIGHT WAY' would be simple enough
for the Turtle engineers to do (HINT HINT HINT for any Turtle people
reading this..)
Right now I am trying to figure out why it does not respect the song
order in the MP3 ID Tags. I have them set right now for v2.3.
My atrontc.vtc has something like this....
SONG
FILE=Forgive Me.mp3
DIR =Godsmack\Awake\
TIT2=Forgive Me
TPE1=Godsmack
TALB=Awake
TRCK=8
TLEN=259
END
But when viewing the Album in the web interface it will A-to-Z the song
names. They do not play in the right order. I had a windows boxen I
might try to look at the TOC file from the software that came with the
AudioTron. BTW, I lost the CD. Anyone know where I can download it?
I am running 3.1.1 but I am working on the 2.2.25 update right now -
Takes awhile to reboot and load 12K songs with out the TOC file!
Thanks,
Sean

hum. no thanks. since itunes and my ipod and winamp can get it right
one would think that the audioton should be able to.
thanks tho.
Yeah, I know what you mean--this would seem like an idiotically simple
thing for the AT to do. I have used a TOC generator that can fold the
tag
names (change "The Doors" to "Doors, The"), but I lost it when I
switched
computers and it's no longer available online. I have taken to
editing
the TOC file (generated with Audiostation) and running a few Emacs
commands over it. One day, I'll write a Perl script or something and
post
it somewhere.
It's not the Artist name tags that both me so much, but with even my
modest collection of 4000 tracks (there are AT users with 6 times as
many
or more), track-name searches become tedious if all of the tracks
beginning with "A ", "An " and "The " sort together. Of course, the
names
show up on the display in the "folded" form, but to me it's far better
than the alternative.
For Emacs/Xemacs users (likely to be very few 8^)), the commands I use
are
(in this order):
(replace-regexp "TIT2=\([0-1][0-1] - \)" "TIT2=" nil)
(replace-regexp "^\(TALB\|TPE1\|TIT2\)=\(A\|a\|An\|an\|The\|the\)
\(.*$\)" "\1=\3, \2" nil)
(replace-string "The, The" "The The" nil)
The first command gets rid of the track-number prefixes of the few
tracks
that I have labelled with them (i.e., "01 - blahblahblah" becomes
just "blahblahblah"). The second command does the name folding trick
on
track, album and artist tags. The last command is because I have a
couple
of albums by the band "The The" and relabelling their name as "The,
The"
doesn't help anything ;-).
Since I only regenerate my TOC when I rip new albums (once or twice a
month), this isn't a big deal. I never let the AT generate its own
TOC--
almost all of my collection is ripped to WMA files, and it handles
indexing them very slowly and makes many mistakes.
