In the script I have:

$noop(########## DETECT MUSIC TYPE ###############################)

$noop(★ Detect Artist Compilation ★)

$if($in(%releasetype%,compilation),
$set(_isArtistCompil,1)
)

$noop(★ Detect Various Artist ★)
$if($eq(%albumartist%,Various Artists),
$set(_isVarious,1)
)

$noop(★ Re-detect Compilation ★)
$if($eq(%compilation%,1),
$set(_isGlobalCompil,1)
)

Is it a compilation? Yes. then (%_isArtistCompil%,1)
AND is %albumartist% equal to “Various Artists”, then make (%_isGlobalCompil%,1)

else

Do nothing( in effect, the result would be(%_isGlobalCompil%,0)

Later in the script I have:

	$noop(★ Organize by type ★)
	$if($eq(%_separateByTypeInArtistFolder%,1),
		$if((%_isGlobalCompil%,0),%_compilationsSubFolder%,))

	**(Otherwise I want to NOT echo %_compilationsSubFolder% )** 

			$if($eq(%_isLive%,1),%_liveSubFolder%,
				$if($eq(%_isAlbum%,1),
					$if($eq(%_separateAlbum%,1),%_albumSubFolder%)
					
					$if($eq(%_isSingle%,1),%_singlesSubFolder%)
					$if($eq(%_isEP%,1),%_epSubFolder%)
					$if($eq(%_isBroadcast%,1),%_broadcastSubFolder%)
					$if($eq(%_isVideo%,1),%_videoSubFolder%)
					$if($eq(%_isOther%,1),%_otherSubFolder%)
				)
			)
		)
	)

)

This is to put a Various Artist compilation in: /3TB/MBP Sorted//Compilation/
…and an Artist Specific compilation in: /3TB/MBP Sorted/Artist/Album/Compilation/

I don’t think that’s the way it works. I haven’t tested it, but I think _isGlobalCompil would just remain undefined. You should try putting $set(_isGlobalCompil,0) at the beginning.

This does nothing useful :smiley: Just

$if(%_isGlobalCompil%,%_compilationsSubFolder%,)

should be fine. If you really need to compare against 0 you need to add a $eq, e.g.

$if($eq(%_isGlobalCompil%,0),%_compilationsSubFolder%,)
