Filter for albums with more than 1 disc

Yep, definitely enlightened. Thanks!

How do I filter by albums containing more than one disc?

I don't know how more than 1 disc should be detected in your collection.
Here is a thread with a similarly named problem:

Help with the renaming template

Yes (I think). First filter for files that have CD in the filename %_path% MATCHES CD\d+ and import the data with a mask like %artist%\%year% - %album%\CD%discnumber% - %discsubtitle%\%dummy% then filter for files that do not have CD in the filename NOT %_path% MATCHES CD\d+ and import the data with a mask like %artist%\%year% - %album%\%discsubtitle%\%dummy% You cannot have 1 mask for 2 different patterns.

Mp3tag knows nothing about an "Album". It manages track by track.
You need to find something in your tags (or filename or directory structure) that identificate your track belonging to a specific album and a specific discnumber.

This may become particularly tricky, if this has already happened:

What's missing for this regex replace expression? DISCNUMBER "1 / 2" or "2 / 2" etc

Hello there, I have a regular expression to detect the discnumber and convert to single digit. It's always been fine but now it's not changing my example. [image] [image] I just want it to show as 1, 2 or any relevant number that the disc is.

Or this observation:

Problem with folders containing tracks from multiple discs

Just an observation: This thread was also about albums with several discs. and if there are several discs, then this should be reflected with separate folders. If the discnumber is now cut that it only shows 1, 2, 3 etc. then all albums with just 1 disc could not be separated from albums with more discs as "1" always is "1" and not "1/1" or "1/2". So I would expect, that all files of album no. 1 are left in the original folder while the others get moved to a subordinate folder labelled ... …

You are right!

That is why I explicitly drew the attention of the OP to this

@LyricsLover

Please be aware that you can not undo this step.
The information about how many discs your current album has (2 in the above example) is gone after appying this regular expression. It only remains the discnumber itself.

and the OP answered:

@sheepdisease

I'm pleased to be left with only one digit in the DISCNUMBER.
