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?

If the script isn't working properly, it might help to check if the "Album Artist Sort" tag is filled in correctly for all files. You can use tools like Mp3tag or Picard to update the tags first. After that, renaming in dBpoweramp should work better.
