Batch convert folder & file name

[PepsiCan]

Hi everyone

I'm trying to convert the folder names and file names to a new format. But I can't get it to work. Here is the current folder & filename and what I want to convert them to.

[IF][LOWER][genre][],=,classical,
     [IF][compilation],=,1,1_Classical\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[composer]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                       [album artist]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[composer]_[artist]-[disc_total][],
     [IF][compilation],=,1,2_Modern\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                      [IFVALUE][album artist],[album artist]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                                     [artist]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total][][][]

What I want to do is create folder names based on Album Artist Sort and Artist Sort (I use FLAC files and these tags have values in them).

[IF][LOWER][genre][],=,classical,
     [IF][compilation],=,1,1_Classical\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[composer]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                       [[B]album artist sort[/B]]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[composer]_[artist]-[disc_total][],
     [IF][compilation],=,1,2_Modern\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                      [IFVALUE][[B]album artist sort[/B]],[[B]album artist sort[/B]]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total],
                                                     [[B]artist sort[/B]]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]-[title]_[artist]-[disc_total][][][]

This is so the folder structure works out correctly and "The Beatles" are under B as "Beatles, The".

But it comes up as gibberish as if Batch Converter (and disc ripper), don't understand these tags exist. What am I missing? Thank you for your help!

Re: Batch convert folder & file name

You need:

[tag]Album Artist Sort[]

You need:

[tag]Album Artist Sort[]

That works if I use it in Batch Converter in a single line. But when I place an IF statement around, I get an incorrect file path and file name. Does Batch Converter not support IF when doing file- and folder renaming? It is not selectable when creating your script.

Also, there is an issue with using commas in the filename in combination with using IF. I had to replace them with "_" to make it work in CD ripper.

I rewrote the script. It now no longer uses [IF]. It is also a bit shorter now. So, all good.

Have you checked that the tag "Album Artist Sort" is included and filled in the original files?
