    Separate Subfolders for Multiple CDs in Box Sets

    Revisiting an old subject, last seen I think in:

    I am a batch ripper user. When I use batchripper, How can I set up cd ripper "to create each folder for each CD disk"?


    The default syntax:
    [MAXLENGTH]80,[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][][]\[MAXLENGTH]80,[album][][IFMULTI], Disc [disc][]\[MAXLENGTH]80,[track] [artist] - [title][]

    ... puts all tracks into one folder and not into separate folders. If metadata is not found, then tracks are named generically and overwritten. Not helpful.

    The syntax suggested by Garym:
    [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][][]

    ... also puts all tacks into one folder, despite the change in the syntax.

    The very simple syntax suggested by Spoon:
    [discunique]\[track] - [title]

    ... does rigidly put each CD into separate folders, sequentially numbered but not named, and not obviously part of the same album. This is a problem when batch ripping a number of different multiple CD box sets at once.

    All three syntax versions do gather metadata, although it varies (curiously) with syntax.

    Question: is there a syntax that actually works for CD box sets with multiple CDS, that will rip all CDs of a box set into the correctly named album folder but with each CD ripped into a separate subfolder thereunder? Note that I wish to batch rip a number of different multiple CD box sets all in one stack. I have about 6,000 CDs to rip, all classical.

    I use a Nimbie USB Plus.

    Thanks!
