Hello everyone. I have a rather large music collection which i ripped years ago with EAC and lame. I used a naming convention that was loaded into EAC. Now I'm trying to download music and would like it to match my existing music format. I've tried to get the commands (%title%) to match what i have but can't figure it out. Please help, i've kicked the cat almost to death 🙂. here's what my typical folder looks like.

Music Folder (all my music)  
Rolling Stones folder (all Rolling Stone albums)

```
Tattoo You Folder (12 music tracks for album)

```

so what i'm trying to accomplish is when I add a folder to the rolling stones folder the naming convention looks like this

Rolling Stones- Rolling Stones - (1981) - Tattoo You (folder name)

Rolling Stones - Tattoo You - 01 - Start Me Up (name of song)

thanks for any advice, mick

😃
