CD Ripper Naming: How to get multiple contributing artists in the filename?

[brockway]

I'm a newbie, so go easy on me.

I'm looking to rip a lot of indie canadian hip-hop albums into mp3. Almost all have tracks with multiple contributing artists. The old "feat. x, y, z" thing.

I'd like to include those contributing artists somewhere in the filename, but I can't seem to figure it out how to access the contributing artist with dbpoweramp's "CD ripper naming" configuration.

The dynamic naming I've set is:
[MAXLENGTH]80,[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][][] - [MAXLENGTH]80,[album][] ([MAXLENGTH]4,[year][])\[MAXLENGTH]80,[track] - [artist] - [title][]

For a track that lists multiple artists (e.g. Artist = ArtistA; ArtistB; ArtistC in CD ripper), I can only get the first artist in the list (e.g. ArtistA) to appear in the filename.

For the above naming configuration, I expected the use of "[artist]" in the filenaming would produce: "ArtistA; ArtistB; ArtistC", but it does not. It only outputs "ArtistA".

Any tips/help would be appreciated.

Use:

[tags]artist,; []

Use:

[tags]artist,; []

That's awesome. Thanks!

After posting that I now see in the "dBpoweramp Naming" help page, that it states:
"Normally the first item of a multi-artist is used for [album artist] or [artist], however if the list of all the artists are needed then can use [multitag], for example [multitag]album artist[] and it would return Artist1; Artist2"

I was also able to get that working - somehow I missed that before posting. Thank you again for the help

All my library is named this way for tracks that have a featured artist: "Track number - Artist - Song title feat Artist X, Artist Y, etc."
For example: "02 - Classified - Hard To Be Hip-Hop feat Maestro Fresh Wes"

I'm pretty pumped that I was able to accomplish the same naming with your CD Naming options using this. There might be a cleaner way to do it, but this worked for me.

[MAXLENGTH]80,[track] - [artist] - [title][IF!EQUALS]artist,[multitag]artist[], feat [REPLACE];,<comma_>,[REPLACE][artist]; ,,[multitag]artist[][][][] []

If the artist is not equal to the multitag artist (i.e. there are multiple contributing artists), then include "feat" with the first artist in the list removed and each ";" replaced by ",".
