Hi, I just installed picard, and the default renaming scripts do not seems to do what I would like. I browsed the forums, and there are so many posts with so many different scripts, I’m definitely out of my league here, and would appreciate any help given.
I’m looking to have my collection organized in this way:
The desired folder/file structure would be:
Artist Name/(Album Year) Album Name/Track Number - Track Name.flac
or if multi disc:
Artist Name/(Album Year) Album Name/CD1/Track Number - Track Name.flac
Have you had a look at the file naming script tutorial in the Picard User Guide? This explains how to develop your own file naming script, and the example used contains most of the elements that you’re looking for in your desired format. The part not covered is the media number in the case of a release with more than one medium.
Although many members of the community could provide the script for you, I encourage you to try to develop it yourself (based on the tutorial). That way you can understand how it works, and make tweaks as required when your preferences change. If you run into any issues, or need some specific help on how to do something (like adding the media number only if there are multiple), by all means ask.
