Hello there MUSICBRAINZERS,

new to the game and would like folder oranisiation scrpit that looks something like this:

Artist Name/Year of Release - Album Name/Song Name.

Example:

Run The Jewels/2020 - RTJ4/A Few Words for the Firing Squad (Radiation).flac

Also if someone could include it so that when there a features in the list of artists it is embedded in the song name and not artist or track artist name?

thanks so much for your help and assistance.

The default script, but with added release date and without track numbers, should do what you want:

$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/
$if(%albumartist%,$year($if2(%originaldate%,%date%)) %album%/,)
$if(%_multiartist%,%artist% - ,)%title%

As the date this script tries to use the original release date, if possible, otherwise falls back to the release date of the actual release. If you always want to use the actual release’s release date (e.g. for separating re-releases from the original) replace $if2(%originaldate%,%date%) with just %date%.

Also the script keeps some of the default naming scripts behavior. If you have a release with different artists per track (a “various artists” release) then the artist name will become part of the file name as “Artist name - Song name”. If you don’t want this either, remove $if(%_multiartist%,%artist% - ,) from the script.

Try enabling the “Feat. Artists in Titles” script, it will move featuring info from the artist tag to the title tag.
