I often have several different versions of an album in my collection. These versions have the same album name, but often differ in the total number of tracks and, in most cases, in the encoding quality. For this reason, I would like to include this information in the directory names. Currently, my…

See e.g. here: [image] calculate average bitrate Export Hi. I recently tried to create .nfos with some homemade template heavily borrowing from existing scripts since scripting isn't my area of expertise smiley One thing I can't make work and I have no clue w…

This is what I’m currently using. '['$upper(%_extension%) -$if($eql(%_extension%,flac), [%_bitspersample%-$cutRight(%_Samplerate%,3)],$if($eql(%_extension%,mp3), [%_vbr%-%_bitrate%],))']' The output will look like: [FLAC - 16-44] [FLAC - 24-96] [MP3 - VBR-235] [MP3 - CBR-320]

@Valik : Your above solution takes the %_bitspersample% and %_samplerate% from the first file only. It does not calculate the average bitrate for an entire album. If the bitrate of your first file differs from that of the other files, the name of the new folder will not be accurate.** AFAIK this is…

[image] poster: I think this circumstance can be ignored if you keep the purpose of the requested folder name in mind. Sure, as long as the user is aware that this will not display the average bitrate. :wink: Example from my "catch of the day" album: Sorted by track number [image] …

And here is an example for a track that drags the album-average down. :wink: [image]

I got it in this quality: [image] The song #15 of Wilco's "Summertheeth" is really only 23 seconds of nothing. Resulting in a small 952.60 KB file encoded in 320 kbps CBR mp3 :wink: SCNR. I know what you mean and I agree with you.

You could take a look at the python script I’ve written to accomplish this task for my folders since I found it to be impossible/impractical to do in Mp3tag itself. I’ve described how I use it as a tool in Mp3tag in this unfortunate thread . WARNING: You should only attempt to use it if you’re comf…

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed constructive suggestions here. I will review them and am optimistic that a suitable solution will be found. :smiley: 30.10.26: I’am still working on this, I will give feedback when I found my way.
