File Folder Structure

Post by selkov »

What is the correct syntax to auto organize folders -- artist - album - then album songs?

There is no correct syntax. You can organize the files in a way that works for you.

It is recommended to have media files in Album folders if you use external Artwork files.

Something like:

Code: Select all

<Album Artist>\<Album> [<Year>]\<Track#>. <Artist> - <Title>
may work well for most, providing both a good organization and plenty of information about the file in the Path (something Auto-Tag from Filename can recover tags from).

Or something like this in case some fields aren't tagged:

Code: Select all

path\$if(<Album Artist>,$First(<Album Artist>), $First(<Artist>))\$if(<Album>,<Album>\,)$if(<Track #>,<Track #:2>) $First(<Artist>) - <Title>
