How to use Display Titles to customize the titles of your media files

You can set display titles for the files your Mezzmo library using the Display Titles dialog.

Display Title Keywords

Mezzmo uses Display Title Keywords to let you define what parts of a file's metadata you want to use in the title. Example display title keywords are %TITLE%, %ALBUM%, %ARTIST%, %TRACK%, %SERIES%, %SEASON% and %EPISODE%. Click the Add Keyword button to see the full list of keywords available to you.

Example: You may have a music file “Coldplay_Yellow.mp3”, where the associated metadata is Title = Yellow, Artist = Coldplay, Album = Parachutes, Track = 5. Using display title keywords, you can create titles like this:

  • %TITLE% will create a title “Yellow”
  • Track %TRACK%: %TITLE% will create a title “Track 05: Yellow”
  • %ALBUM% - %TRACK% will create a title “Parachutes - 05”
  • %ARTIST% -%ALBUM% - %TRACK% will create a title “Coldplay - Parachutes - 05”

If you want to display the file name as the title, then you simply need to use the %FILENAME% keyword. For example:
