Autoorganize artists that start with "The"

Post by cajunlibra »

I can't figure out how to set my masks up for organizing artists that start with "The".

For instance, I want "The Cure" to go to "\C\The Cure" or "\C\Cure, The", "The Police" to go to "\P\The Police" or "\P\Police, The"

Either listing is fine for where the "The" shows up in the folder name.

Another question, are nested ifs ok for the masks? I want soundtracks and certain other genres to go into a separate folder organized differently.

You can use $RemovePrefix(string) and $MovePrefix(string): http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/f ... ormats.htm

Code: Select all

$Left($RemovePrefix(<Album Artist>),1)\$MovePrefix(<Album Artist>) 
should do the trick.
