@hbrtkp I am using This script and I really like it. I was wondering if you could show me how to add
$if($eq(%media%,SHM-CD), [SHM-CD])
and add if [CBR 320] for mp3’s that are.
That would do it for me, Thanks.
It depends on where this information should be displayed. If at the end, do this:
$swapprefix($if2(%_artists_album_primary_std%,%artist%),The,Die,Le)
/$replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($swapprefix($if2(%albumartist%,%artist%),The,Die,Le), and , & ),+,&), with , & ), _ , & ), vs , & ), vs. , & ) - $replace($truncate(%album%,100),:,-)
$set(album,$if($title(%_releasecomment%),%album% \($title(%_releasecomment%)\),%album%))
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1), %totaldiscs%CD
$if($eq(%media%,LP), [Vinyl])
$if($eq(%media%,Vinyl), [Vinyl]))
$if($eq(%media%,7" Vinyl), [Vinyl])
$if($eq(%media%,10" Vinyl), [Vinyl])
$if($eq(%media%,12" Vinyl), [Vinyl])
$if($eq(%media%,Cassette), [Cassette])
$if($eq(%releasestatus%,promotion), [Promo])
$if($eq(%releasestatus%,bootleg), [Bootleg])
$if($ne_all(%catalognumber%,none,[none]),$if(%catalognumber%, [$rsearch(%catalognumber%,\(.+?\)\(?:; |\$\)+)]))
$if(%date%, [%date%],)
$if($eq(%releasetype%,album), [Album],
$if($eq(%releasetype%,single), [Single],
$if($eq(%releasetype%,ep), [EP],
$if($eq(%releasetype%,broadcast), [FM],
$if($eq(%releasetype%,other), [Other],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,dj-mix), [DJ Mix],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,remix), [Remix],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,soundtrack), [OST],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,live), [Live],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,mixtape/street), [Mixtape],
$if($inmulti(%releasetype%,compilation), [Compilation],)))))))))))
$if($ne(%_extension%,mp3), $upper(%_extension%))
$if($gt(%_bits_per_sample%,16), %_bits_per_sample%bit,)
$if($gt(%_sample_rate%,48000), $div(%_sample_rate%,1000)kHz,)
$if($eq(%media%,SHM-CD), [SHM-CD],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,320.0), [CBR 320],)
/$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),CD$num(%discnumber%,2)$if(%discsubtitle%, - %discsubtitle%,))
/$num(%tracknumber%,2). $if(%_multiartist%,%artist% - ,)%title%
If elsewhere, paste the code into a free line in the required place.
For the remaining bitrates, use this (works only with CBR files):
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,320.0), [CBR 320],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,256.0), [CBR 256],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,192.0), [CBR 192],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,160.0), [CBR 160],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,128.0), [CBR 128],)
$if($eq(%_bitrate%,64.0), [CBR 64],)

Got it, Thanks so much. Really like this script so far! 
I’m almost there…
Just wanted to share with everyone my script so far. Really have to thank @hbrtkp for all the inspiration and the base of this script. Now v2.0

Hello,
your script is excellent.
Would you please a “genre” metatag parenting all this?
Thank you in advance.
My workflow is to place the items in directories based who, what, when then format type, finally the tracks and their bit rate if applicable.
This way I can just keep an ongoing archive and add to it. For the playable music library I’ll duplicate from the archive to that location.
Incomplete Albums are also placed along side the others in the Artists or other Root Folder type.
29-Sept, 2019 - I updated the script, cleaned up orphaned bits, added more configuration options to dis/enable things instead of having to comment them out.
This way I can see what I have both by file type and quality where applicable. The files will have the sample rate and bit rate in the filename as applicable so I can compare quality among the same file format.
Duplicate File Handling: (As shown in my screen shot)
Picard handles duplicate files by placing them in the same directory with an appended filename. (…music/A/Artist/Album/File.ext, …music/A/Artist/Album/File(1).ext, etc.
I wanted the duplicates to be placed in a separate directory at the prior level, (…music/A/Artist/Album, …music/A/Artist/Album(1), etc. instead.
This script works transparently with either configuration, however the latter does require a source code change at this time. That is, you will have to change in the application source code to get this alternate behavior.
This is for several reasons, most having to do with not wanting to rename files when settling on which to use for a particular player/application. Although the need for ‘renaming’ is brought to a minimum when the filename is set to include several file specific metrics. That means those close but not identical named tracks will end up in the same album directory and not the incrememtial duplicate locatoin.
All of that is because I use Picard to organize the data from an archival viewpoint. I target Picard’s output to a directory tree for archiving and I can choose what I want from there when sifting out a set of files for the playback method/hardware. It also makes taking similar files that would have been named as a duplicate otherwise a bit more efficient.
See this thread for details on the source code modification for the latter behavior:

This is a fantastic pattern @tdiaz, thanks for publishing it! How would you go about to add the catalogue number to the most peripheral (the “last” one per album) folder?
Do you mean appending it to the album directory or one higher that contains the albums within? That may be the artist named directory, or the subdirectories for file type within the artist directory?
Volume/Music Sorted/B/B-52’s, The/M4A//Bouncing Across the Satellites/01. Track…
/Volume/Music Sorted/B/B-52’s, The/M4A/[catalogue]/Bouncing Across the Satellites [catalogue]/01. Track…
Either way, it’s going to be a scriptmtag droppd in the build process. One would hope there is never a reason for separate catalog numbers per track within an album.
That would be awkward to say the least. But nothing surprises me anymore. 
Hmm, I guess it would make most sense at the album level, so that this would be a great way of separate different pressings/versions of the same album. I’m actually not someone who has lot of these, but I have at least some old Aerosmith records on both vinyl and CD that I’d love to separate.
Anyway, thanks for a great script!
I updated it again. It’s got the Catalogue Number in it, too.
Pretty much every option is turned on, the configurations are all in the first section. You shouldn’t have to mess with the rest unless you want to move something around. I need to update the ‘sample paths’ in there, and a little bit more. I’m sick of looking at this thing right now.
OTOH, between that and the mods on the backside, I’ve got Picard doing all this anal sorting and labeling that I wanted.
Like I said previously, the target for this script is to put everything of the same name near each other, separated by file formats and to make handling things like duplicate tracks and such still give you a ‘perfect’ set of the album, and push the rest next to it.
Albums with too many tracks are no longer treated as incomplete.
So the only time you’ll see a ‘partial/incomplete’ marked directory is when you don’t have a complete one already. Any added incremental directories of that album themselves do -NOT- have a complete set will -NOT- be marked as incomplete because you already have a complete set.
/Volume/Drive/Music/O/Oingo Boingo/Only a Lad [1981]/ <-- the complete one.
/Volume/Drive/Music/O/Oingo Boingo/Only a Lad [1981] (1)/ <-- Any Duplicates End up here…
/Volume/Drive/Music/O/Oingo Boingo/Only a Lad [1981] (2)/ <-- and here if there’s more than one duplicate of something. It will just roll to the next incremental directory.
I’ll post another in a new post, with a new screen shot example, and the comments/instructions/examples in the script with more details.

MBP YA Magic-Script that does more stuff too - v2.0a .
Now Glutin Free!
This script is setup with more of an overall archival sorting method in mind, from which you can then choose titles by file format directories for your various devices.
e.g.: The name of the Album can be specified at the File Format level, so you don’t have to rename something when you drop it wherever while assembling a library for a specific device, only needing to copy specific stuff to the target location, etc…
You certainly could aim your favorite player/playback method at the Directory Tree created, though most I’m sure will have duplicate entries when there are extra files/formats available at the individual release / Album level.
This can work with the official release of Picard, however the handling of duplicate tracks, whole albums, etc., will not be by seperate directories unless you roll your own build with the modification referenced in a previous post. This would also affect the duplicate albums with too many tracks, where they will still all be placed in the same directory as opposed to be separated. Though the directory will still not be marked ‘Incomplete’, as there is -at least- a full album within it.
• Albums, Singles, EP, Live, Compilations, etc. Separated within the Artists directory.
• Albums with too many tracks will not be marked as incomplete and will be handled the same as a complete album.
• Separate Root directory for compilations with option for single artist compilations to be placed with the artist instead of compilations.

Root sorting by Artist or performance type, then separated by file format.
Root sorting by file format, then Artist, performance types, etc.
Cover Band & Tribute Releases can optionally be placed in a subdirectory with the Artists they are associated with instead of by their own artists name. This is done by using the sort as tag options.
Enter “*Tribute” or "Cover" in the Album Sort as tag.
Enter the Artist in the Album Artist Sort as tag.
There are also a couple of settings marked Earlier in the Sort. These are for quick and dirty changes to isolate incomplete stuff separately within the output directory instead of along side their complete albums, and to add the artist earlier in when doing that.
Put some incomplete, complete and ‘over-complete’ (complete’s with additional duplicate tracks) on the Right side and save them to see what the differences are with the Earlier Sort and Complete Albums with additional duplicate tracks.
Last.fm plug-in required for using their catagories at the root, instead of Artist names.
…and for the handling of duplicates as shown in the screenshot, see:

@tdiaz Checked out your script above pretty cool but I am getting empty brackets when there is no value in a lot of the directories!
That’s interesting, as anything in those brackets is created from what I’m reading off the files.
Examples:
09. EULA Dancing [3m03s] [320 44100KHz VBR 2ch].mp3
01. Drunken Lullabies [3m51s] [106 44100KHz VBR 2ch].m4a
01. Dead Man's Party [6m22s] [945 44100KHz VBR 2ch].flac
03. Deadbeat Club [4m50s] [974 44100KHz VBR 2ch].m4a
The thing I’m not sure is working right is that VBR where it could be a CBR. … those are mostly for quick visual comparing anyway.
The only Plug-in needed is the Last.fm one, if you want that. I’m pretty sure that nothing else is coming from a plug-in.
Out of curiosity mainly, I wonder what I’d get if I run some of the same files you are getting blanks from… All that stuff is part of any proper file. ,
Well here’s my current one, developed over the past 15 years or so:

$if($and(%originalyear%,$not(%originaldate%)),$set(originaldate,%originalyear%))

It will sort each and everything under the (album) artist sort names. Titles picked up from compilation samplers are stored in a special subfolder albumartistsort - [compilations]. The script uses release group comments to differentiate between albums of the same name (Peter Gabriel, Weezer, Elis, …), adds a release year, album type and release country in parentheses and disambiguates tracks of the same name by their recording comments (adding things like (live, 1990-03_ Billboard The Venue, Melbourne, Australia) to the track filename to avoid things like title (1).flac, title (2).flac.
(Disregard the sole
[compilations] folder, that was accidentally generated with an older script version.)
The year shown in the album folder name is the release year, the country the release country, so I can distinguish releases with the same name.
Oh, and there are no track numbers because I’m interested in the title and not their storage location on a particular medium. There is also some intended redundancy (repeated artist names) because the album and track artists can be different.
This structure makes me happy when travelling: It’s much easier copying stuff together onto a USB drive or SD card and still know which title is which. I was so fed up with USB sticks containing a hundred entries starting with 01. … and no artist name …

I’ve updated the MBP YA Magic-Script that does more stuff too to v1.9.
If there are no values within the brackets, they will not show at all. (So, no more [ ] [ ] empties)
Re-organized the Settings section.
Cleared up the examples and documentation a bit.
…and put in some “Earlier in the Sort…” options for re-directing stuff while organizing.
To use those on and off, you’d have to go into the Options and change the values as needed when saving various sets of files.

…and It’s 2.0 now, it does what I want, it’s been taken apart function by function.
Gone through, line by line and the CBR/VBR section has been fixed up a lot.
I had some squirrelly voodoo going on with the File Metrics being created. It was probably a combination of things script wise and pre-processed file wise.
With “Ignore Tags” set, to where I’m just over-riding the two I use within the script for special album placement, it’s all good!
I had some cross-use of %_underScore% vs %noUnderScore% so some tags were getting created and then that was having an affect on anything that already had and MBID …and the unintended tags.
Sorry for clogging up the thread … 
Now I’ll go mess with the Python for a bit … and see what I come up with.
