Hi
One more action i'de like to set
If files are MP3 then transfer them to "X:\Shared Music\MP3"
or
If files are FLAC then transfer them to"X:\Shared Music\FLAC"
or
If files are DSD then transfer them to"X:\Shared Music\DSD"
thank you
Martin
I am not sure about those dsd files - but I think you can use the information variable %_tag_read%.
An action of the type "Format value" for _Filename:
Format string: X:\Shared Music$replace(%_tag_read%,ID3V2.3,MP3,ID3V1,MP3,FLAC,FLAC,DSD,DSD)\%_filename%
As I said: check the dsd files and see what it says for %_tag_read% and then enter that for the first DSD in the replace-expression.
ok look what i have
DSD is ID3V2.3
drat!
Then we have to split the filename like:
An action of the type "Format value" for _Filename:
Format string: X:\Shared Music$regexp(%_filename_ext%,..(.),$1)\%_filename%
The disadvantage of that solution is that you also get separate folders for MP4 files and all other types that manifest in the extension.
Like you said , it creates many folders
dsf
flac
Heaven And Hell (DSD)
Kodama
mp3
Paranoid (DSD)
Wake Pig
No Artist folder, only albums and extensions
As user 'ohrenkino' already has worked out, ...
do apply an action "Format value" on the pseudo tagfield _FILENAME ...
with the formatstring ...
You may create an action group to collect other filename extensions into one action, to move only dedicated files by one call of the action group, e. g. ...
$if($eql(%_extension%,'DSD'),'X:\Shared Music\DSD\'%_filename_ext%,%_path%)$if($eql(%_extension%,'DSF'),'X:\Shared Music<!--fontc-->DSF<!--fontc-->'%_filename_ext%,%_path%)
$if($eql(%_extension%,'MP3'),'X:\Shared Music<!--fontc-->MP3<!--fontc-->'%_filename_ext%,%_path%)
$if($eql(%_extension%,'FLAC'),'X:\Shared Music<!--fontc-->FLAC<!--fontc-->'%_filename_ext%,%_path%)
... or just simplified for all file extensions ...
Format value:

Same thing , it creates too many folders
DSD, FLAC MP3, and creates album folders.
DSD FLAC AND MP3 are empty and album folders contains songs
What i want to create is
X\Shared Music\DSD\Journey\Greatest Hits (DSD)\Track - title
X\Shared Music\MP3\3\Wake Pig\Track - title
X\Shared Music\FLAC\Alcest\Kodama\Track - title

OK, but you did not say so in the first post.
I think we are all a little too complicated as the extension already exists - what about
Format value for %_filename%
Format string: X:\Shared Music\%_extension%\%albumartist%$num(%track%,2) - %title%
(I wonder where the album is gone ... and I wonder where the "3" for the MP3 folder comes from)
Ah, ok.
then I have to append my suggestion for a
format string: X:\Shared Music\%_extension%\%albumartist%\%album%$num(%track%,2) - %title%
PERFECT, but one more thing
It creates folder like
dsf
mp3
flac
Can they be like that (capitalize)
DSD (if not DSF)
MP3
FLAC
thank you
Martin
format string: X:\Shared Music$upper(%_extension%)\%albumartist%\%album%$num(%track%,2) - %title%
Perfect
thank you again
Martin
The given actions can only do what they should do, which is to apply the programmatic given file extensions.
It seems that you did something wrong.

What ohrenkino writes in his last quote was perfect for me
It is working like i want now
Sorry
