How do I output folders in a certain format?

Help

This should be basic beets stuff but I want to output all folders as:

[year] - [album name]

if they are in a artists’ folder otherwise it should simply be

[artist] - [album name] (year)

I’ve looked in the documentation and all around and I can’t see where it’s explained how to overwrite the output format, though I know that the config file exists.

Also… Let me add that I love this library. I’ve spent all day working with it and my music collection feels so much cleaner now.

Hello!! Maybe you’re looking for the paths section of the configuration?

Perfect! I just needed a nudge in the right direction. Thanks.
