    Adding year to file folders

    I'm trying to fix it so converter will add the year of the album to the folder name with the album title. I got the ripper set right, but the converter seems to be giving me an issue or I'm not setting something right.

    I want it to appear like:

    Music\Marilyn Manson\2024 - One Assassination Under God\08 - Raise the Red Flag.mp3

    But what I end up with is "2012-09-21T07;00;00Z" for the year. This is just one I tested on, not the result of the above mentioned.

    Edit: It seems to be adding the full month and day the album was released. Is there a way to get it to just include the year and nothing else?

      Unfortunately, that didn't add anything, just left a blank space before the dash to album.

          right now it's:

          [artist]\[year] - [album]\[track] - [title] - which turns into Artist\2011 08 12 - Album Title\05 - Title

          if I add [GRAB][year],1,4[]:

          [artist]\[GRAB][year],1,4[] - [album]\[track] - [title] which turns into Artist\ - Album Title\05 - Title
