Assistance setting folder naming structure

[chaos719]

Noob here I need assistance getting my folder settings set up right

what i'd like to get a setting that will work for the following examples

1) all albums should have the ability to create a sub directory for multi disc sets
\(Various Artists)\W\Warped Tour 2011\Disc 1\

2) Is it possible flip names (eg. Matthews, Dave for his solo albums & Dave Matthews Band)
\Artists\Matthews, Dave\Some Devil\
\Artists\Dave Matthews Band\Everyday\

3) Groups with numbers as their name sorted into "*" directory
\Artists\*\311\Universal Pulse\

4) Sort Soundtracks & other complations in separate directories
\(Soundtrack)\G\Girl Next Door, The\
\(Various Artists)\W\Warped Tour 2011\Disc 1\

5) If the name of the album has 'The' starting it have it moved to the end so that the album is sorted. theres a option for artist names but not album names
\(Soundtrack)\G\Girl Next Door, The\
rather than
\(Soundtrack)\T\The Girl Next Door\


My Current Naming Setting works to some degree but needs more functionality
[IFCOMP](Various Artists)\[GRAB]1,1,[album][]\[album]\[track]-[title]-[artist]-[Album][][IF!COMP]Artist[]\[GRAB]1,1,[album artist][]\[album artist]\[album]\[track]-[title]-[artist]-[album][]

current issues

group using numbers as their name need to create a "*" directory
no directory for multi disc sets (DONE) just need to remove "(Disc) from album name
soundtracks not making their own directory

Got it mostly working

Current Naming Scheme
[IF!COMP]Artists\[GRAB]1,1,[album artist][]\[album artist]\[album][IFMULTI]\Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][]\[track]-[title]-[artist]-[album][IFMULTI]-Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][][][IFCOMP][IF!EQUALS]Genre,Stage & Screen,Various Artists\[IFEQUALS]album,The [DEL]1,4,[album][],[GRAB]5,5,[album][][][IF!EQUALS]album,The [DEL]1,4,[album][],[GRAB]1,1,[album][][]\[album][IFMULTI]\Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][]\[track]-[title]-[artist]-[Album][IFMULTI]-Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][][][IFEQUALS]Genre,Stage & Screen,Soundtrack\[IFEQUALS]album,The [DEL]1,4,[album][],[GRAB]5,5,[album]\[][][IF!EQUALS]album,The [DEL]1,4,[album][],[GRAB]1,1,[album][][]\[album][IFMULTI]\Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][]\[track]-[title]-[artist]-[Album][IFMULTI]-Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][][][]


makes 3 directories (artists, soundtracks, various artists) soundtrack & various artist directories need the complation flag, with the soundtrack directory also required to match the genre "Stage & Screen"
"the xyz" album names now sort "xyz, the" and are properly sorted into a alphabetical directory
(disc *) in album title now removed (setting in options and a metadata refresh solved that issue) and made into a sub directory within the album directory


folder structure
\Artists\B\Black Keys, The\El Camino\track-title-artists-album-disc
\Soundtrack\G\The Girl Next Door\track-title-artists-album-disc
\Various Artists\W\Warped Tour 2011\Disc 1\track-title-artists-album-disc


1) still trying to figure out flipping first names & last names to sort by last names
2) sort a range of artists into a single directory (ie. making a "*" directory for numbered groups 112, 311, etc)
