Hi,

Here's my question.  
I got loads of files to convert (put the tags based on the file names).  
Usually, my folders have the structure below:

ARTIST  
ALBUM\

```
TRACK_TITLE.MP3

```

But when it's a double disc or box set, etc, it comes like:

ARTIST  
ALBUM\

```
Disc xx\
  TRACK_TITLE.MP3

```

How can I run through all the folders/files making sure it'll not put Disc 01, Disc 02, etc, as the Album?

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

All file in one go:  
Action: **Guess Values**  
Sourceformat: **$regexp($regexp(%_path%,(disc|cd) \d+\\,,1),.\\(.+\\.+\\.+)..+,$1)_**  
_Guessing Pattern: **%artist%\%album%\%track%** _ **%title%**

or...

If you want to use the Converter instead, you can do so by combining it with the Filter (F3) and working in two steps:  
Step 1:  
Filter: **%_path% MATCHES (disc|cd) \*\d+\\_**  
_Converter: **Filename - Tag**  
Formatstring: **%artist%\%album%\%dummy%\%track%** _ **%title%**

Step 2:  
Filter: **NOT %_path% MATCHES (disc|cd) \*\d+\\_**  
_Converter: **Filename - Tag**  
Formatstring: **%artist%\%album%\%track%** _ **%title%**
