I hope this helps. I use two masks in Auto-Organise, one for classical albums and another for jazz.
For classical: D:\Classical Recordings\<Album>\\$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\)<Track#:2> <Title>
which puts all tracks from classical recordings in a sub-folder under D:\Classical Recordings; that sub-folder title is the name of the album as it is entered in the MM properties dialog box.
For Jazz: d:\Jazz Albums\<Album Artist>\<Album>\\$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\)<Track#:2> <Title>
which puts all jazz albums in a sub-sub-folder under D:\Jazz Albums; the subfolders are \Album Artist\Album again as entered in the MM properties dialog.
I did try to combine theseusing a conditional statement based on Type:
$if(<Type>=Classical Music,D:\Classical Recordings\<Album>\\$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\)<Track#:2> <Title>,d:\Jazz Albums\<Album Artist>\<Album>\\$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\)<Track#:2> <Title>)
This works okay for Classical Albums, but I have some glitch and it produces:
D:\Jazz Albums\Artist\Album\d\Artist\Album\Track# Title
and I cannot figure out what I did wrong.
