Hello.
I am trying to reorganize my whole massive library, which is a mix of flac and mp3 files of various genres. What I want is a single library with each file type mixed together (see example below). That being said, I’d like to apply different naming scheme for each of these extensions. For flac files, I’d like to include detailed info such as {label, catalog #, format}, etc.
I know few basic scripts, but even after many attempts, I didn’t manage to finish it the way I want.
Here is what I got so far:
(if FLAC)
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/
$if($ne(%albumartist%,),%album% \($left(%originalyear%,4)\) [$upper(%_extension%)]) {%label%, %catalognumber%, %media%}/
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),%discnumber%-,)$if($ne(%albumartist%,),$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ,)%title%
(it doesn’t remove empty spaces if certain metadata is missing, eg. catalog # or label - not sure how to do that)
(if MP3)
$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/
$if($ne(%albumartist%,),%album% \($left(%originalyear%,4)\)/
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),%discnumber%-,)$if($ne(%albumartist%,),$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ,)%title%
This is how I’d like it to look like:
for FLAC albums:
“Artist\Album (year) [FLAC] {label, cat#, media}” or if label/cat# is unknown then “Artist\Album (year) [FLAC] {media}”, etc.
for MP3 albums:
“Artist\Album (year)”
So both mp3 and flac albums will be under the same Artist folder.
Anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction? Thanks!
