I'm trying to make MP3Tag automatically generate the discnumber field based on the folder structure. Can anyone help me out? I have very limited scripting knowledge - so I'm confused as to where I should even start...

I'd like MP3Tag to recognize if there is a folder in the parent directory named "CD1", "CD2", "CD3", etc., to automatically create a x/x tag in the discnumber field, correctly tagging which directory it is in - and generate a discnumber total.

Also - if there isn't - I would like it to tag 1/1 for the discnumber.

Can this be done?

Thanks very much! 😃
