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. ---

> [@faisdlair](#): > > 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 ... $if($eql(%\_extension%,'DSD'),'X:\Shared Music\DSD\'%\_filename\_ext%,%\_path%) 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\
