Need help with multi-disc naming

[Bacchus027]

Hi everyone,

I'm new. I'm sure this has been answered but everything that I found just confused me. So, I'm sorry if this is a repeat.

How do I set up multiple discs so that the file names end up being [disc number]-[track number][track name]

The total path should be: [album artist]/[album]/[disc number]-[track number][track name]

I really don't understand the IF language or how to make CD Ripper do the above.

Grateful for any insight. Again, sorry for the noob question.

PS - I always make sure that the album artist and album name are exactly the same was well as the 1/2 disc number is correct.

This will do what you want, and also automatically put compilation albums in a separate "Compilations" folder. Change "Compilations" to "Various Artists" if you prefer that. Note this is windows. for Mac, use forward slashes instead of back slashes.

[MAXLENGTH]240,[IFCOMP]Compilations\[album]\[IFMULTI]\Disc [disc]-[][track] [title] [artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[IFMULTI]Disc [disc]-[][track] [title][][]

If you don't want any of the compilations stuff, use this:

[album artist]\[album]\[IFMULTI]Disc [disc]-[][track] [title]

Note the above only adds the disc number if there are more than one disk. If you want disc number no matter what (e.g., 1-01 track name), let me know.

Hi Garym,

Yes, that did it! It created it so the file names included the word "disc" which I didn't want, but I was able to figure out how to change that. I am so grateful for your help! Thank you so much for taking the time to help a lost noob. Also, thank you for the note regarding the slash formatting difference between Mac and PC. I'm on a Mac and that would have thrown me.

Thanks again!

No, that's perfect. Only if there is more than one disc. Thank you so much!

Re: Need help with multi-disc naming

great. Yep, my mistake leaving the word DISK in the string, but glad you figured out how to delete that.
