I have been trying to get Beet to tag and rename my music files. But i cant get it right. I want my files to look like this:
A/Albumartist, The/AlbumType/Albumartist-Rel.Year-Album (Label)/Disc-Track - Artist - Song
I treid this commands (and other) butit gets all wrong every time!
default: %upper{%left{$albumartist,1}}/%asciify{$albumartist}/$albumtype-%asciify{$albumartist}-$original_year-%asciify{$album}%aunique{} $album%aunique{albumdisambig, albumdisambig country label}%if{$albumdisamambig, [%title{$albumdisambig}]}}/$disc-$track-%asciify{$artist}-%asciify{$title}
Can anyone help me or guide me. I have checked the official guide.
Thank you!
Yes! I got it! Almost…Execpt for the Album Artist sorting. I want to move “the” to the end of the album artist like: “The Beatles” will be “Beatles, The” and create the folder “B”
Heres the code i used: default: %upper{%left{$albumartist,1}}/%asciify{$albumartist}/$albumtype/%asciify{$albumartist} - $original_year - $album%aunique{albumdisambig country, label}%if{$albumdisamambig, [%title{$albumdisambig}]}/$disc - $track - %asciify{$artist} - %asciify{$title}
you can then use the following in your path: %the{$albumartist}
I don’t know how that works with %asciify but that’s probably not to difficult to figure out.
Indeed! Also try the $artist_sort and $albumartist_sort fields, if those are populated by MusicBrainz.
In the future, when you paste things from your configuration, please use a Markdown “code block” (see the Discourse editor toolbar), which makes them easier to read and preserves formatting.
Convert all non-ASCII characters in paths to ASCII equivalents.
For example, if your path template for singletons is singletons/$title and the title of a track is “Café”, then the track will be saved as singletons/Cafe.mp3. The changes take place before applying the replace configuration and are roughly equivalent to wrapping all your path templates in the %asciify{} template function.
