Auto Organizing

Post by Michel37 »

How can i achieve this:

Album Artist = Various
path\Various Artists\Year - Album\Tracknumber - Title

all other Album Artists
path\ABC\Album Artist\Year - Album\Tracknumber - Title

Multiple Disc Albums
path\ABC\Album Artist\Year - Album\Discnumber-Tracknumber - Title

Tracknumbers i wanna have with leading zeros.
ABC stands for the first letter of the Album Artist, i.e. all artists starting with A, B or C go into the ABC folder, starting with D, E or F into DEF folder, and so on.

Is there a way to achieve this with one mask.

See: http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... ormats/4.0

1) $if(<Album Artist>=Various,Various Artists)
2) <Album Artist@3>
3) $if(<Disc#>,<Disc#>-)

path\$if(<Album Artist>=Various,Various Artists,<Album Artist@3>)\<Date> - <Album>\$if(<Disc#>,<Disc#>-)<Track#> - <Title>

Thanks.

I now have this mask:
path\$if(<Album Interpret>=Various,Various Artists,<Album Interpret@3>)\<Album Interpret>\<Jahr> - <Album>\$if(<Disk#>,<Disk#>-)<Song#> - <Titel>

With a single album artist it works, but various artists are put in VWX-folder, i´d like to have a Various Artists-folder.

What is the exact value of your Album Artist tag? Do you have multiple artists in it (like Madonna; Cher; US) or do you have a value like Various (masks accounts for that) or Various Artists (mask doesn't account for that)?

Then it should be: path\$if(<Album Interpret>=Various Artists,Various Artists,<Album Interpret@3>)\<Jahr> - <Album>\$if(<Disk#>,<Disk#>-)<Song#> - <Titel>

You have a <Album Interpret> too many in the mask.

path\$if(<Album Interpret>=Various Artists,Various Artists,<Album Interpret@3>)\<Jahr> - <Album>\$if(<Disk#>,<Disk#>-)<Song#> - <Titel>
