Hi folks! 🙂

So I've been trying to figure out a way to rename my folders in a specific way based on file tags, however I just can't get it right. I've checked multiple topics in the forum, yet none seems to have what I'm looking for (or I'm not searching right).

I would like to have my album folders formatted this way:  
artist - year - album (type) [source-bitrate]

Which would be like this, for example:  
Prince - 1984 - Purple Rain (LP) [DL-320]

I usually include the type (LP, 12'' etc.) in the title of the album, that's no issue there. However, I just can't seem to get the format right for the **source** to be in the same bracket as the **bitrate**. I use a tag named "Format" to tag the source (CD, LP or DL for downloaded files).

The current string I have is this:  
%artist% - %year% - %album% '['%\_bitrate%']'

I just need to find a way to include the source in there somehow.

Thanks a bunch! 😃

I’d look at the `MediaType` field. That is the standard one that I use.

You could try something like  
`%artist% - %year% - %album% (%Format%) '['%_bitrate%']'`  
or  
`%artist% - %year% - %album% '['%Format% %_bitrate%']'`  
or  
`%artist% - %year% - %album% '['(%Format%) %_bitrate%']'`

Or what exactly do you mean with "the **source** to be in the same bracket as the **bitrate**"?

Thanks so much! I think I got it!

%artist% - %year% - %album% '['%Format%-%\_bitrate%']'

That's what I was looking for, I think I was misplacing the apostrophes until now and/or "Format" wasn't capitalized, which yielded different results with everything I had tried so far.
