    How do I ignore "the" in an artist's name?

    Well, from the naming tutorial, I know how to ignore the "the" in the tag for an artist's name (for example, The Rolling Stones will be tagged as Rolling Stones, The). But, I don't want to do that; instead, I simply want the folder name (and not the tags) to ignore "the." So, the result would be that the folder containing the ripped discs would be "Rolling Stones, The", while the artist and/or album artist tags would be "The Rolling Stones." Is it possible to configure dbpoweramp to achieve that result? If not, I'd settle for ignoring "the" in both the folder and the tags. But, I haven't figured out/seen a method for ignoring "the" in folder naming. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

    This is the exact issue I am having. Is there any way to do this?

      Try this:
      Album Artist contains The Rolling Stones. Album Artist Sort contains Rolling Stones, The.
      Use Album Artist Sort as the folder name in the naming scheme.

        To change an artist such as 'The Beatles' to 'Beatles, The':

        [IFEQUALS]artist,The [DEL]1,4,[artist][],[TRIM][DEL]1,4,[artist][], The[][]
