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

Here are two simple masks I use in MM4. Field names in the following examples are French, you will need to translate them to your db language.
Video:
Mask
RootFolder\T:\Data\mes Vidéos\Films\$If(,<Séries>,<Titre> - <Réalisateur>$If(<Année>, [<Année>]))\$If(<Séries>,$If(<Année>, [<Année>] )<Réalisateur> - <Titre> - <Acteur>,$If(<Année>,<Titre>) - <Acteur>)
Since MM4 now handles video libraries extensively, this simple mask with conditional series and dates might help keeping things tidy.
In case you use subtitles, you might consider installing trixmoto's MoveFiles script and have srt, ssa and whatnot files move along while reorganizing. Careful with this mask, in case your video root folder is buried in far deep the disk tree. In that case, remove the actors from path altogether or move closer to the root.

This simple mask uses artist or album artist, depending on whether they're identical or not, for the album parent file. The artist is used in file name if different. Disc# subfolder when relevant. The extension field also saves BPM information for non mp3 files. Explanation of this odd looking feature : while mp3's will be reanalyzed effortlessly, it takes a more work to determine store flac and ogg bpm info with free software. In case of db loss or tags deletion, this will allow for easy recovery with "tags from filenames".
For the time being, I have different root folders for my music files, depending on their extension. It becomes less relevant, disks being huge and cheap, but it still has its uses.
Track number set at 3 digits. I found some huge compilations with over 100 tracks. You can safely set this to 2 (<Piste n°:2>) if you dislike all this zeroes in path.
