    How do I change/modify naming and folder structure for multi-disc album?

    When I rip a multi-disc album (ex: Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin), the resulting name for the album will be "Physical Graffiti, Disc 1" I'd like to replace the "," with parentheses, so that the album name will read "Physical Graffiti (Disc 1)"

    Also, I'd like to modify my naming path if possible. Currently, when I rip each individual disc of a multi-disc album, it results in each disc becoming a sub-folder within the folder for the albumartist. I'd like to go down a level, so that when I rip disc 1, it creates a subfolder within the albumartist folder with simply the album name (no disc *), and then creates a subfolder inside the album name folder with the album name and disc number. And, then when I rip each successive disc, I'd like those to become sub-folders inside the album name subfolder.
    Again, to use Physical Graffiti as an example, ripping disc 1 would result in a folder structure that looks like this:
    Led Zeppelin\Physical Graffiti\Physical Graffiti (Disc 1)

    The, when I rip disc 2:
    Led Zeppelin\Physical Graffiti\Physical Graffiti (Disc 2)

    In the end, I'd have a folder structure of:
    Led Zeppelin (albumartist)
    Physical Graffiti (album)
    Physical Graffiti (Disc 1)
    Physical Graffiti (Disc 2)

    Not sure how much of my request can be accomplished. I clicked on "Options" but got no choices to edit metadata naming (all that showed up are "encoder priority" and "after ripping"). Only other choice would be to modify the string in the naming section, which currently reads:

    [MAXLENGTH]200,[IFCOMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],Various Artists[]\[album]\[track] [artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[track][] [title][]

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    On the Options >> Metadata & ID Tag >> set Multi CD Add Disc to Album to:

    (never)

    then for naming:

    [MAXLENGTH]200,[IFCOMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],Various Artists[]\[album][IFMULTI]\[album] (Disc [disc])[]\[track] [artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[track][] [title][]

    Note that the album title will be the same for all 3 discs, depending on player this might cause issues.

      Thanks Spoon. When you say that the album title will be the same for all 3 discs, does that mean that the disc number will no longer be added? So, rather than Physical Graffiti (Disc 1) and Physical Graffiti (Disc 2), I'll simply see Physical Graffiti twice?

        The above is for filenames and folders. In the ID Tags the album title would not have disc number, but it would be written as disc number to the tags.

          Thanks. Don't want to lose the disc number in the filenames or album title tags. So, won't go that route. But, is it possible to simply change the brackets to parentheses, so [Disc 1] becomes (Disc 1)

            You don't have to lose disc number in the filenames, you can add disc number to the filename, no problem.

            Yes, you can have brackets instead of square brackets.
