View Full Version : comment tag and dynamic output location

When ripping classical CDs I use the album tag to designate the composition (so that a single CD with several compositions will have
several album tags) and put the name of the CD itself in the comment tag. Ideally I'd like to rip all the tracks from the CD into the same
directory rather than having one directory per composition, and so tried setting the dynamic output location to be [artist]\[comment]\[title]. However this does not work because dBpoweramp treats [comment] as a literal rather than a reference to the comment tag and so the pathname comes out as say "beethoven\[comment]\adagio",

Is there any way of getting [comment] or another suitable field to work as I'd like? Or indeed a different approach to achieve the same thing?

Many thanks, John.

Answer to my own question - [artist]\[tag]comment[]\[title] does what I want.

I missed that at first because the [tag]<element>[] form is documented as "embed user defined tag element" and I thought
that meant a reference to a user-defined custom tag rather than a standard one.
