    Creating folders & filenames

    I wish for each ripped cd to be placed in a folder with the following name structure

    1) Artist Album - [ARTIST] - [YEAR] - [ALBUM]
    2) Compilation Album - Various Artists - [ALBUM]

    Creating the following example
    1) Madonna - 1984 - Like A Virgin
    2) Various Artists - Big Shiny Tunes 12

    Inside each folder filename structure would be as such

    1) Artist Album - [ARTIST] - [TITLE] - [ALBUM] - [VERSION]
    2) Compilation Album - [ARTIST] - [TITLE] - [ALBUM] - [VERSION]

    Creating the following example
    1) Madonna - Material Girl - Like A Virgin - Album Version
    2) Finger Eleven - Paralyzer - Big Shiny Tunes - Radio Edit

    When should the naming structure be to accomplish this?

    What do you mean by "[VERSION]" ?
    Regarding the rest, it sounds like you want this:
    Code:
    [IFCOMP]Various Artists - [album][][IF!COMP][artist] - [year] - [album][]\[artist] - [title] - [album]
    Does that look like what you want?

      Alot of these tags aren't preesisting options in dbpoweramp. One in particular, sub title, is commonly used as the version field in most dj oriented software I've come across. It is listed immediately following TIT2 (Title 2) -the industry standard field associated with song title. Subsequently the "description refinement" adds additional information to the title:

      from above)
      4.2.1 TIT2 [#TIT2 Title/songname/content description]
      4.2.1 TIT3 [#TIT3 Subtitle/Description refinement]
      ex)
      4.2.1 TIT2 1,2 Step
      4.2.1 TIT3 Bimbo Jones Club Mix

      Why not have them all as preset options, named as described above, with the option of renaming as one desires? Or perhaps this can already be done with a little know how........

        Re: Creating folders & filenames

        Oh & the code is perfect! Thanks so much!! It's just needs that version refinement, if it can be done. For cd singles, maxi singles, ect there are multiple version of songs with the same track name. Each filename obviously needs to be unique. If I can't get version I guess the next best thing would be track # as the next point of refinement. For now I'll add [track] to the end of the code you provided so with this change it would read like, correct?

          >Why not have them all as preset options

          If we only created mp3 the that would be a good idea, but we have to take those id tags and map them right across all formats (Vorbis Comments, ApeTags, WMA Tags), so we need to devise internal standards, I will look into this.
