Auto-Organize with Album Artist ignored if empty?

[sovamind]

I'd like to setup auto-organize to put albums into <album artist>\<album>\ for albums that are all the same artist, but only do <album>\ for compilations or other albums that have a collection of artists on them. I can't seem to figure out if there is a way to do a programmatic way to do this... Right now I just have to select all the files with a search, then do a manual auto-organize and pick the saved option without the album artist tag for them.

Otherwise, I end up with a bunch of weird folders like:
default\album (when I left album artist blank)
various artists\album
va\album
multiple artists\album
etc

To not include an empty field you can use $If(<Album Artist>,<Album Artist>\)

However that doesn't seem to be the case, you seem to have a value. So perhaps $If(<Album Artist>=<Artist>,<Album Artist>\) does the trick for you.

I'm reasonably familar with the file mask syntax, but I had no idea that they were basically intepreted as a string text, such that you could include the folder character "\" as an option in an <if,,> field. Cute!

From Lowlander link above (sometimes even I forget)

Code: Select all

Note: Make sure to precede all control characters such as ')' or ',' with '$' if you wish them to appear as normal characters. For example:--- \My Music\$if(<artist>,<artist> (<year>$),Unknown)\<track>
