    Dynamic Naming Returns [album artist] Instead Of [artist] In Filename

    I am converting from FLAC to MP3. I set my Dynamic Naming Output to:
    [album artist]\[IFCOMP][album][][IF!COMP][year] [album][]\[IFMULTI][SETLEN]2,48,,[disc]-[][][track] [artist] - [title]

    But clearly I am doing something wrong. The folder and sub-folder names are correct - but the file names have Album Artist Instead of Artist.

    For example, using MP3tag I look at the FLAC file tags for one song and it says:
    - Artist: Notorious BIG
    - Album Artist: Notorious B.I.G., The
    - Disc: 1
    - Track: 10
    - Title: Mo Money Mo Problems

    for the file name I expect
    [disc]-[track]. [artist] - [title]
    1-10. Notorious BIG - Mo Money Mo Problems.mp3

    but instead I get
    [disc]-[track] [album artist] - [title]
    1-10 Notorious B.I.G., The - Mo Money Mo Problems.mp3

    The dot after [track] is missing too, so I have really messed up.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    If you close the program and come back into it, the naming string is the same as you last left it?

    You are not using multi-encoder?

      I don't see the dot in the naming string.

        Thanks. Yes. When I close the program and come back into it, the naming string is the same as I last left it.
        When I close the program, cold boot the PC and come back into it, the naming string is the same as I last left it.

        I am not using multi-encoder. I am converting from FLAC to MP3 using the Lame encoder, Variable Bit Rate, highest quality.

          Thanks. good point. My cut/paste skills aren't what they used to be. ;-)
          sigh.
          This is what I've been using:
          [album artist]\[IFCOMP][album][][IF!COMP][year] [album][]\[IFMULTI][SETLEN]2,48,,[disc]-[][][track]. [artist] - [title]

            I am so embarrassed.
            I apologize for wasting your time.
            I was ripping from the wrong drive.
            I thought I was ripping from the D: drive (see attached D-Artist.jpg) and I was ripping from the F: drive (see attached F-Artist.jpg) .
            Same sub-directory structure - but different tags (F: drive has older, not 100% updated tags).

            Mea maxima culpa.
