AMC not to rename music

Post by nidur »

Hi there,

I've been using filebot and AMC script for a long time with great success with movies and episodes.

Now I'm trying to set it up to automatically "Move" my music to the correct location after utorrent finishes.

Is there a way for AMC script "not to rename" and only move the finished download to the new location.

Also
Is there a way to tell the following script to use "album" as alternative for "albumartist" if the tag is not available in ID3.

Music/{albumartist}/{album+'/'}{artist} - {t}

Code: Select all

Have you read and understood how the format works?

Hint:

Code: Select all

/wherever/whatever/{fn}
2)
That's what {n} does for music files, i.e.

Code: Select all

any{albumartist}{album}
3)
Music metadata IS NOT based on ID3 tags. Music identification is done via AcoustID webservice.

Thanks alot for the reply rednoah.

I realize now that what I was thinking was not to use the format for the music to move, should have been more specific.

I will be sorting music using the ID3 tag in the following format with utorrent and AMC

Code: Select all

Z:/Music/{self.albumartist ? self.albumartist + "/" + self.album : self.album}/{["essential mix", "kiss100 d&b"].indexOf(album.toLowerCase()) != -1 ? t : artist + " - " + t}
If the "albumartist" is not available it will use "album" and skip creating the second album directory.
Also specific live shows like the Essential Mix do not need "artist - title" format but use only "title"

Hope this will be of use to some of you.

p.s. is there a format expression for the parent directory? not been able to find it.

Use {dir} or {dir.name}

2)
All bindings are self-documented in the GUI Format Editor
