Auto Organize - use path as album title

Post by svillardi »

Hello

Was wondering if there was a way to use auto-organize to replace the <album> with part of the path - like a particular folder?

I have a collection which is manually organized by decade, then album name, finally, CD number (#1, 2, 3, etc). Something like:

D:\Compilations\2000s\The Box Set with CDs
Country (CD1)
Rap (CD2)
Rock (CD3)

What I want is something like:
D:\Various Artists\The Box Set - Country\01 Achy Breaky Heart

Can I use Auto-Organize to do this? Or do I have to manually change the <Album> first, and then organize?

It will be hard to do, you do have $Replace() available for use.

It'd be better if you used the Album field for Album name and other fields like Disc# for other information.

Do you mind me asking why you want to do this? , ie. what is the problem that it will solve for you?
On the surface it seems like there would probably be better ways to achieve whatever it is.
