Hi friends:

I need your help, I have been looking in the support forum and I didn't found any topic that could help me.

The thing is, I got 52 foleders like this:

CD01

The file is like this:

01-01 Kokomo Arnold - Backfence Picket Blues.flac

And the Tags are like this:

%discnumber%-%track% %artist% - %title%

All the files are the same.

I want to put the folders like this:

%discnumber%\_%artist%

Any suggestion for this?

I am sure that is so easy but not for me.

Thanks for your help, and Happy New Year 2015.

From Spain, David.

If you have no extra album folder as parent-directory,

Define an action:

Action-type: Format Value  
Field: _DIRECTORY  
Format String: %discnumber%_%album%

Now my question is the next, maybe I should write in other post?

Is Folder name to Tag

The folder name is:

Artist - Year - Album

Neil Young -2014 - Storytone (Deluxe Edition)

How to do an Action to add that information to the TAG?

Thanks for your time.

😉

David.

Use the function Convert\>Filename-Tag and the mask:  
%Artist% - %Year% - %Album%\%dummy%
