Multiple disk albums & auto-organise

Post by yarguy »

I have used the very handy auto-organise feature, but need some advice on how to handle albums with multiple disks. For various reasons I would like these albums to have the following structure:

Drive:\Folder\Artist\Album\Disc #\Track # Title

while single disk albums should be:

Drive:\Folder\Artist\Album\Track # Title

without the Disc #.

The format
E:\Jazz Albums\<Album Artist>\<Album>\Disc <Disc#>\<Track#:2> <Title>

Gives me just what I want for the multiple disk albums but either gives me:

E:\Jazz Albums\Artist\Album\Disc\Track#:2 Title

for the singles if I haven' entered a disc number, or

E:\Jazz Albums\Artist\Album\Disc 1\Track#:2 Title

if I have.

Is there any way to do both single- and multiple-disk albums in the way I want with a single format statement or do I need to do auto-organise twice, once for each type of album? (My desire to avoid the \Disk\ level for the single-discs is to keep structure as simple as possible.)

$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\) will do the trick.

Eg.
E:\Jazz Albums\<Album Artist>\<Album>\$if(<Disc#>,Disc <Disc#>\)<Track#:2> <Title>

That's exactly what I needed. I did not know there could be if clauses in the formats. It's good to know.
