Hi, my mp3 files are usually contained in this filesystem structure: path/artist/album. However, when the album is not meaningful to me (say I only have a few songs from the entire album) the album is removed from the path and the songs are loosely contained inside a folder bearing just the name of the Artist: path/artist/ For these songs I would like to have the album information removed. So how to I find such songs? My idea was to filter as follows: NOT %\_path% HAS %Album% because I want to find songs for which the album tag is present but does not coincide with the path. However the filter does not work. I also tried with %\_directory% but still no luck. Any idea? Thanks. ---

> [@massimolinari](#): > > NOT %\_path% HAS %Album% This is no valid filter syntax. Try `"$ifgreater($strstr(%_path%,%album%),0,yes,no)" IS no` ---

That's great, thanks. Is there any way to make that case-insensitive? ---

Try: `"$ifgreater($strstr($lower(%_path%),$lower(%album%)),0,yes,no)" IS no` ---

Use caution with this, in cases where the album name is also the artist name (so called self titled albums). ---

Right, there is that exception. Altough I suppose since the query does not return the self titles albums, one would simply fail to delete the album tags only in those specific cases. ---

> [@massimolinari](#): > > the query does not return the self titles albums You could append the filter to: `"$ifgreater($strstr($lower(%_path%),$lower(%album%)),0,yes,no)" IS no AND "$if($eql(%artist%,%album%),1,0)" IS 0` ---
