    Converting FLAC to MP3 - albumartist Field

    My FLAC archive has been tagged using Musicbrainz Picard and under normal circumstances files are transcoded no problem with the Vorbis comments converted to ID3 or Apple etc.

    The problems begin when I'm transcoding a Various Artists release. I've configured DMC to create dynamic output folders:

    [album artist]\[album]

    I'm using the ID Tag Processing DSP to map 'albumartist' -> 'album artist'. This maps the field OK, but but a 'Various Artists' folder is never created. I'm guessing this is because the output folder is created before the map is performed.

    Any way round this? (I'm trying to convert thousands of files).

    Thanks,

    DZ

    Install the [Update ID Tag] utility codec, run it on the files first, it will be fast if you install the latest FLAC beta version (has improvements for album art), then convert.
