How can i change the structure of how the music albums are stored

I want to achieve the following: you want one folder per album, all at the main level, and each folder named:

Artist Name – Album Title

No artist-level folders. No nested subfolders.

Just a clean, flat list of album folders.

You need to edit your file renaming script:

$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)$if(%albumartist%, - %album%,)/
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,9),$num(%discnumber%,2),%discnumber%)-,)$if($and(%albumartist%,%tracknumber%),$num(%tracknumber%,2) ,)$if(%_multiartist%,%artist% - ,)%title%

I haven’t tested this - but it is a modification of the default script.

It also handles non-Album tracks by putting them in a folder with just the artist name - and it handles e.g. Various Artists albums by pre-pending the artist name to the track title.
