Did not work, for clearing, i want this folder to be:  
The Housemartins - Raise The Flag (1997) [256 MP3]  
and not  
The Housemartins - Raise The Flag (1997) [256 MPEG 1 Layer III]

The Action:  
%artist% - %Album% (%year%) '['%\_bitrate% %\_codec%']'

The value in the codec column:  
i have tried this:  
$replace(%\_codec%,'Windows Media Audio','WMA','Free Lossless Audio Codec','FLAC','MPEG 1 Layer III','MP3')

$replace(%\_codec%,Free Lossless Audio Codec,FLAC,MPEG 1 Layer III,MP3,Windows Media Audio,WMA)

the original post was here in the forums but i cannot find it.

Edit: found it: [Codec](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/17780/1)  
Edit2: it shows well in the column:
