@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 not easily possible as @dano wrote 13 year ago in the already linked topic:

\*\* This is particularly relevant for MP3 VBR (with **V** ariable **B** it **R** ates) files, where one album can have many different bit rates for its tracks.
