first, sorry for my english !!!
I need (after beeing some years away from tagging etc.) some help:
i use the script advanced.scu.
And, i would need some more Levels under the ABCDEF....-Folders.
Example:
* First letter
* Artist Name
* Artist Name - album Name
* Titels (mp3´s).
I don´t match, to change the normal script (perhaps only the first line
) !
I would be very happy about an answer !!!{!%*AR,1,1%+%AR%+%Y% - %L%+%G%}
// the first line contains the folder structure and is dynamically used upon script execution, it is optional
{ sample script to force special folder rules
the folder structure defined is the following :
%*AR,1,1% - artist first letter
%AR% - artist
%Y% - %L% - year album
%G% - dummy genre level, The %G% variable is only used as an example of how to check for other values}
program Advanced_folder_rules;
const
_MiscFolder = '0-9 & Misc'; // mine is '0-9 & Misc'
var
sTmp: string;
begin
// phase 1 loop trough entries and adjust values as needed
re_Init( false );
repeat
sTmp := re_getLevel( 2 );
if UpperCase( Copy( sTmp, 1, 4 ) ) = 'THE ' then begin // remove 'the'
re_setLevel( 1, Copy( sTmp, 5, 1 ) );
re_setLevel( 2, Copy( sTmp, 5, 9999 ) );
end;
if Pos( Copy( sTmp, 1, 1 ), '1234567890.''' ) > 0 then begin // move all those artists to custom folder
re_setLevel( 1, _MiscFolder );
re_setLevel( 2, _MiscFolder );
end;
sTmp := re_getLevel( 4 );
if UpperCase( sTmp ) = 'SOUNDTRACK' then begin // special genre
re_setLevel( 1, _MiscFolder );
re_setLevel( 2, 'Soundtracks' );
end;
re_removeLevel( 4 ); // remove the level, it used only to check genre
sTmp := Trim( re_getLevel( 3 ) );
if sTmp = '-' then begin // missing year AND album tags
re_removeLevel( 3 );
end;
until not re_Skip;
// we have to do the count of files per folder here because the structure may have been altered above
// phase 2 get count and loop trough entries and remove level if we must
re_Init( true );
repeat
if re_getCount = 1 then begin // no year - album structure for just one song
re_removeLevel( 3 ); // if level 3 was removed before it will not do anything
end;
until not re_Skip;
// we have to do the re-count of files per folder here because the structure may have been altered above
// phase 3 get count and loop trough entries and remove level if we must
re_Init( true );
repeat
if re_getCount = 1 then begin // no Artist folder for just one song put it in the root letter folder ( A B C ... )
re_removeLevel( 2 );
end;
until not re_Skip;
end.
Greeting from rainy Munich... dad-of-gismo !
