Hi,

I have tracks that are tagged:

Artist A - Dance Track (Original Mix)  
Artist A - Dance Track (Disco Mix)

To sort them I know I can set %artist%/%title/ but this will give a folder to the original mix and a folder the disco mix.

I'd like to achieve a folder structure of Artist A/Dance Track/ and see both both the (Original Mix) and (Dance Mix) in that folder.

Is there a way of removing the brackets only when writing the folder path and maintaining them in the filename and metadata?

Thanks for any help offered.

Mac or Windows?  
Try this expression instead of %title%  
`$regexp(%title%,'(.*) \(.*',$1)`

That's exactly what I needed. I'm on Mac and it worked a treat. Thanks so much.
