Looking for a basic naming script for the convention below. It seems easy enough, but haven’t been able to find a good source to learn how to do this. I am not looking to move any files or anything advanced just yet. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be mighty appreciated.
Rename current folder
artist - album
Rename music files
01 title
02 title
For example, say I have this folder:
Beastie Boys / Right Right Now Now
/ Ch-Check it Out
/ …
And I want to get this:
Beastie Boys - To the 5 boroughs / 01 Ch-Check it Out
/ 02 Right Right Now Now
/ …
What would the script be?
Off the top of my head (untested code), give this a try:
%albumartist% - %album%/$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title%
You can find the scripting information at https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/scripting/ and the tag information provided by Picard at https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/tags/ for more information.

Interesting. The code is simple, yet resembles Excel in a way. I am guessing that the forward slash separates the commands for folder naming? I get the rest of it. Guess I was overwhelmed by the default script.
I tested this and it works. Had to enable move files and set the destination directory to “…” (without quotes) to save in a directory one level higher than the music is in.
Thank you for your help, keep up the good work!
