Auto Tag From Filename Improvement

Post by Guest »

I'm attempting to Auto Tag from Filename for a large directory with lots of subdirectories. My organization is as follows:

p:\Audio\Artists\<Artist>\<Album>\[sometimes a disc 1/2, or cd 1/2 folder - sometimes not]\filename

There seems to be no way of handling both the albums without disc subdirectories and the albums with at the same time. I would love for an <optional subdirectory> mask to be added.

Mask: <Artist>\<Album>\<optional>\filename
or
Mask: <Artist>\<Album>\<optional folder>filename

Should handle:
p:\Audio\Artists\Band1\Album\Disc 1\Filename.mp3
p:\Audio\Artists\Band2\Album\Filename.mp3

Additionally I think it would be great if I could merge directories. In the above example I would like to combine a folder with the next subdirectory:

Mask: <Artist>\<Combine Folders:2,<Album>\filename
p:\Audio\Artists\Band1\Album\Disc 1\Filename.mp3
Album = Album Disc 1

If you can think of a way of combining these features together that would be even better.

Check out the following help item for more options on masks: http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/f ... ormats.htm
Mask: <Artist>\<Combine Folders:2,<Album>\filename
p:\Audio\Artists\Band1\Album\Disc 1\Filename.mp3
Album = Album Disc 1
Are you trying to create a folder named Album Disc 1 in that case the mask \<Album> Disc <Disc#>\ should do the trick no? And with an $if clause you can create a condition for the disc number part.

No i'm not trying to organize my files by tags. I'm attempting to create tags from an existing folder structure. The problem is some albums have subfolders for different disks. There seems to be no way of intelligently tagging from that structure.
