macOS Dynamic Naming: Tags interpreted as literal text (brackets in folder names)

[berntm]

Hi, I'm a "Mac guy" ripping a large collection (lots of Various Artists) using an ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U on a Mac Mini. (and new to dbpoweramp

I am struggling with Dynamic Naming. Every time I try to use conditional strings like [IFCOMP] or [IFVALUE], the software creates folders with the literal names, e.g., [IFCOMP]Various Artists or [IFVALUE]album artist....

My current Path: /Volumes/Plex Media/roon music/Music.

Example of string that fails: [IFCOMP]Various Artists/[album][ELSIF][artist]/[album][END]/[track] [title]

I want a "set-and-forget" solution that puts compilations in a "Various Artists" folder and regular albums in "Artist/Album" folders without manual intervention. Is there a specific syntax for the macOS version that avoids these literal bracket folders?

[Spoon]

[IFCOMP]Various Artists/[album][ELSIF][artist]/[album][END]/[track] [title]

There is no [ELSIF]

Use:

[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][]/[album]/[track] [title]

However the default naming pretty much does that, using album artist if present and ensuring the maximum length of folders is not going to cause an issue.

[MAXLENGTH]80,[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][][]\[MAXLENGTH]80,[album][][IFMULTI], Disc [disc][]\[MAXLENGTH]80,[track] [artist] - [title][]

You could remove artist from before title if need, but for various album CDs you would not know the artist for that track from filename.
