First thing is that I would suggest you think about if you really need a script as complex as celes’. If you find yourself struggling with making any changes to it you will probably not be very happy in the long run. If you can explain what you actually require and how you want your file naming to work we can probably assist you in creating a script that does just what you want and which you actually understand and can edit yourself. > [@faedrus](#): > > 1. the compilation album “In His Own Words” (1998) is identified as having 12 tracks by Pac, which are dropped in his folder; but the tracks by Outlawz are placed seperately in their folder, and same for Naughty by Nature and Trapp; Looks like the script does not deal with albums like [In His Own Words](http://musicbrainz.org/release/e8f4dbd1-fe82-40b2-a3ef-0050fb39a81e) which have a proper release artist but contain tracks by other artists. To keep releases together the variable `%albumartist%` should be used instead of `%artist%` for folder names, maybe check how the script makes use of this. Sorry that this is probably not the answer you expected, but I won’t dig through this IMHO overly complex script to do any changes. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/renaming-string/4521)._
