Music formats for "various artists"

I have a big problem right now. Anytime I download an album with multiple artists, it ends up split amongst folders for each artist. For instance, a 6-CD collection - "Songs For Reggae Lovers" - has produced 180 folders, each containing a single album and (usually) a single song.

Script:
filebot -script fn:amc --output "D:/Plex/TV Shows" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file "D:/Plex/Filebot_uTorrent_calls.log" -extract --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D" --def movieFormat="D:/Plex/Movies/{plex.name}" seriesFormat="D:/Plex/TV Shows/{n}/{plex.name}" musicFormat="D:/Plex/Music/{n}/{y} - {album}/{pi.pad(2)+'. '} {t}"

Probably not much you can do about that. The files just aren't tagged the way you want them to be tagged, which is what bindings like {album} are based on.

What does the MediaInfo for each of these files say?

:idea: For music files, it's best to use MusicBrainz Picard to manually tag files correctly to make sure the ID3 tags match the way you want things to be organized.

I'd accept them being left unsorted, but when I remove the musicFormat portion, it still does this.

There's prob a tab for "keep the original torrent name", now that I think of it. I'll go look.

Thanks.

Logs? If --def music=n is set, then all music files should get thoroughly ignored.
