Dynamic Naming Help

[john770g]

Prior to posing my question, just a quick hats off for (1) A superb product and (2) the numerous resources and support for your products which you provide on your site. Thank-you.

With that, I'm having a bit of difficulty with dynamic naming:

My folder/file naming structure:
If songs are part of an album: Artist\Album\artist - album - track - title
If songs are not part of an album: Artist\artist - title

Using the following:
[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[artist] - [album] - [track] - [title]


To my query - when using the above element naming structure during a conversion, songs which are part of an album are converted and named as intended, however songs which are not part of an album are not.

Example - when converting Billy Joel\Billy Joel - Piano Man.flac, the Billy Joel folder is created correctly, however the filename outputs as: Billy Joel - - - Piano Man.m4a. I would like it to be named Billy Joel - Piano Man.m4a.

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Dynamic Naming Help

That is why they are missing from the file name.

I'm not explaining myself correctly and I apologize...bottom line is I'd like a dynamic script that will encompass filenaming of songs that either (a) have album, artist, track, title tags, or (b) only artist and title tags. The above script almost does it, but leaves me with "- -" if the album and track tags are not present.

My music library consists of two variations of songs:

1. Songs on an album.

- Tags: artist, album, track, title.

- Filenaming: Artist\Album\artist - album - track - title .

2. Songs not on an album.

- Tags: artist, title.

- Filenaming: Artist\artist - title.

I am attempting to maintain the above filenaming convention upon conversion using:

[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album]\[artist] - [album] - [track] - [title]

Which results in

Songs on an album converted/filenamed as intended.

Songs not on an album filenamed not as intended.

e.g. When converting: Billy Joel\Billy Joel - Piano Man.flac. Filename outputs as: Billy Joel - - - Piano Man.m4a. I would like it to be named Billy Joel - Piano Man.m4a.

Thanks for your time.
