LEAVE DOWNLOADING TRACKS IN DL DIR UNTIL FINISHED AND THEN MOVE TO LIBRARY

(first field = main music Library , ie D:\!!!The Library\)

(second field = if statement CODE BELOW)

$if(<Filename:10>=incomplete,x:\<Path>,<Album Artist>\<Album>

(third field = track tittle with closing paren , ie <Track #> - <Title>))

Examples

The effect of such a mask is to leave the 'incomplete' files in the dir in which they are created until finished. The 'X:\' is put in front of the <path> code (which functions to recreate the current path) , because my 'DL' dir happens to be on a different drive than the one than the one that houses my main Library.

So 'If' filename, first 10 = incomplete , 'then' leave file in current dir 'else' (if filename is normal) , then move to default library dir and tag as normal. It should also be noted that both the default music lib and the default DL dir are both included as auto-scan at start up folders. This is a very simple and powerful mask because you can use it while DL files an not have to physically clean out that dir and move finished files to your library .... let the software do it ... might be some issues when DL software is not running in-line with MM ....cheers
