Naming convention in case of no meta data

[ripshark]

I have encountered a batch of CDs where some of the CDs have no meta data is available. The resulting ripped files are writing over each other because the naming convention does not have a way to recognize that a file of the same name exists (I think). Is there a naming convention I can use which will create a new folder name for each CD with no meta data (such as Untitled 1, Untitled 2, etc.)?

Using Batch Ripper?

Using Batch Ripper?

Yes, using batch ripper. This my naming string: [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[track] [title].

I am looking for meta data to fill folder and file names when available, but a numbered sequence on the album folder [discunique] to fill if no meta data. Thanks Spoon. BTW, I have converted from using Ripstation software to DBpoweramp recently - nice improvement if I can get over this little thing.

Re: Naming convention in case of no meta data

There are a few ways to go about this:

you can use [discunique] below the artist folder, then all the unknown artists would be grouped together, you can use programmable function such as [IFVALUE]album,,[discunique]\[] to only insert a unqiue folder number if there is no album name

or you can set batch ripper to show the metadata input page if there is no metadata.

Thanks Spoon, this string seems to be doing the trick for me: [IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[IFVALUE]album,,[discunique]\[][album]\[track] [title]. I appreciate your help.
