Also, if there are multiple discs, (Disc - Track - Title).
Thanks.

Thank you, do you know how to do (Artist - Album [File Extension])? I have varied FLAC and MP3 albums. Thank you for your consistent help.

I believe I figured it out. I will report back if it works. (%artist - %album [%\_extension]%)

Doesn't seem to work, but I could be doing it wrong. I am using \_DIRECTORY.

Huzzah! I have figured it out.
\_DIRECTORY to a "Folder Tagging" folder, and then as an example, this string:
`C:\Users\[YOU]\Documents\UNTAGGED MUSIC\Folder Tagging\%artist% - %album% $upper('['%_extension%']')`

... is invalid syntax. It should be
`[%_extension%]`
If you want to see the square brackets around it:
`'['%_extension%']'`
otherwise the square brackets work as some kind of IF condition: if there is an extension, then show the data in the brackets.
