Tagging a release as either complete or incomplete

MusicBrainz Picard

Hello community, I was wondering if there was a way to tag the comment field automatically if an album is perfect or partial. What im looking to do is add [C] to comment field for complete, and [P] for partial. Then when I run the save I use this file naming script:

%albumartist% - %comment% %album% [%musicbrainz_releasegroupid%]/%tracknumber%. %title%

Which will output my album in this directory format:

10 Years - [C] (how to live) AS GHOSTS [bd0990c2-6ae9-477f-b54b-0d88d70206d3]

That would be considered a complete version of that album. I’m just trying to automate the [C] or [P] process, I have 11,000 albums in my collection, and not all are complete. TIA

I assume that you’re looking to set this comment in your Picard file naming script and not in MusicBrainz. In that case, you might want to look into the $is_complete() function. Your file naming script might look something like (untested code):

%albumartist% - [$if($is_complete(),C,P)] %album% [%musicbrainz_albumid%]/$num(%tracknumber%,2). %title%
