CD Rip with "The" after the Artist Name

Post by TheEmpathicEar »

Where do I configure "The" to follow the Artist Name? i.e. The Goo Goo Dolls becomes Goo Goo Dolls, The

You'll need to manually edit the Properties of each CD requiring this for the tags (MediaMonkey can ignore prefixes them for sorting purposes), but you can do this automatically for the filenames with $MovePrefix().

Perhaps I'm doing this incorrectly, but under the Rip window for Destination when I select

C:\Music\$MovePrefix(<Artist>)\$MovePrefix(<Artist>) - <Album>\<Track #:3> <Title>

I still get a folder for The Killers, subfolder The Killers - Hot Fuss.

How can I get this to work?

Version 5.0.4.2693.

It works as expected for me on the latest MediaMonkey 5.1 beta. Let us know if you still have this issue when you upgrade to MediaMonkey 5.1.

Updated to MM5 b1 as requested, but the issue persists -- screenshot example at https://drive.google.com/file/d/14URM2k ... drive_link .

Is The defined as Prefix under Tools > Options > Fields?

Can change it to just the? Does it still fail?

I am curious about this. Why does it work for "the" and not "The"?
