Hi all,
I’ve been looking through the forums and playing with the file naming script for days, but I can’t seem to find what I want to do. I’ll admit, I’m not very good at scripting.
What I’m trying to do, I think is pretty simple, but I just can’t wrap my head around it. I would like the following:
If the album is not a compilation, then:
Album Artist\Album\Album Artist - disk number-track number - Title
(for instance: The Who\Quadrophenia\The Who - 1-01 - I Am the Sea.mp3)
If the album is a compilation, then:
Album Artist\Album\Album - disk number-track number - Artist - Title
(for instance: Various Artists\Forrest Gump\Forrest Gump - 1-01 - Elvis Presley - Hound Dog.mp3)
If there is only one disk, then I would like the disk number left out, just like the default script.
If anyone could please help, I would really appreciate it.
Please and Thank You!!
Stay healthy and safe! 
Can you please help with setting up a tag. I am a newbie with this, and want to learn, but having some difficulties. I would like to sort my music in the following manner:
Artist/Album/Song Title. I do not want to have the music placed into an various artist folder, or sound track folder. Just would like to look through it in a alphabetical order by artist.
Very much appreciate any assistance.
You can have a look at my file naming script in my GitHub repository for an example of how you can automatically use different naming templates for different types of releases. I have broken it down into steps and have included comments to explain what is being done in each step. Perhaps you can get some ides from there. Once you’ve had a look at it, if you have any questions please ask.
Try something like:
%artist%/%album%/%title%
Also, please don’t hijack another thread with a new question. Best to start a new thread.

Thanks @rdswift, I’ll take a look!
Thanks Rdswift.
My apology for the highjacking. I didn’t mean to cause an issue.
I will try the script. Thanks again.
