    Thanks for the reply. Does second comma as shown here means ELSE kind of block?
    [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],

    I understood that there are 3 end if blocks ([]). I interpreted like this which is not true when I look at the created folders.
    If (album artist not empty)
    print album artist
    if(compliation true)
    print various artists
    if (compilation not true)
    print artist.

    Last two end blocks seems like nested if. May be this is what it means

    If (album artist not empty)
    print album artist
    else
    {
    if(compliation true)
    print various artists
    if (compilation not true)
    print artist.
    }

    correct on all your responses, including yes, if a compilation it will put the album under a various artists folder. The [] are just to close off the "code" that is checking for whether something is or isn't a compilation (that is, just part of the "programming language dbpa is using). You can easily see what all these things do by entering the info in the dynamic naming settings and it will show you what the result will look like using the madonna example. Just try....you won't break anything!

    started a topic what is the meaning of file name

    what is the meaning of file name

    I see this this default value for file name.

    [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[track] [title] - [artist]

    Is there any documentation to understand this?

    I understood the following portion.

    If album artist has value create folder with value of album artist

    If compilatin is checked, is varous artist folder? What is empty square brackets?

    If compilation is not checked, what is [artist][][]

    I understood after that \album folder\tarck number of song space title of song and hyphen artist name

    I am planing to change all my files to add composer, album aritst etc and want to improve on understanding it.
Working...
