See New new final

basic formatting tests (see bottom for final);

Puddletag directory spaces to _:
$replace($validate(%artist%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")/$replace($validate(%artist%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")

Puddletag file spaces to _:
$replace($validate(%artist%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")-$num(%track%,2)-$replace($validate(%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|:)," ","_")


 Puddletag directory remove spaces:
$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: )/$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: )-%year%-$validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|: )/


 Puddletag file remove spaces:
$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: )-$if($neql(%artist%,%albumartist%),%artist%-,)%year%-$validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|: )-$num(%track%,2)-$validate(%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|: )

$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: )-$if($neql(%artist%,%albumartist%),%artist%-,)%year%-$validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|: )-$num(%track%,2)-$validate(%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|: )


redo:
%artist%/%artist%-%year%-%album%/ %artist%-%year%-%album%-%track%-%title%
%albumartist%/%albumartist%-%year%-%album%/ %albumartist%-%year%-%album%-%track%-%artist%-%title%

$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)-%year%-%album%/$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)-%year%-%album%-%track%$if(%albumartist%,-%artist%,)-%title%


$validate(,,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]<>,.)

Schema: albumartist = various artists compilation album. An if to see if albumartist and artist is different would fail for compilations including a track by the album artist.

Final:

 Puddletag file remove spaces + albumartist ifs:
$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)/$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)-%year%-$validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)/$validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)-%year%-$validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)-$num(%track%,2)$if(%albumartist%,-$validate(%artist%,,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.),)-$validate(%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|: -&\[],.)

Produces directory path and filenames like this:

/media/3tb/media/music/FLAC/Decapitated/Decapitated-2000-04-17-WindsofCreation/Decapitated-2000-04-17-WindsofCreation-05-Decapitated-TheEyeofHorus.flac

New final:

 Puddletag file spaces to underscores + albumartist ifs:
$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")/$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")/$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")-$num(%track%,2)$if(%albumartist%,-$replace($validate(%artist%,,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_"),)-$replace($validate(%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")

How does evaluation work? test:

$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)-%year%-%album%/$if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%)-%year%-%album%-%track%$if(%albumartist%,-%artist%,)-%title%,,’`'/\*?;”|:-&\[],.)," ","_")

Ah, evaluation stops at directory slashes.

Produces directory path and filenames like this:

/media/3tb/media/music/FLAC/Decapitated/Decapitated-2000-04-17-Winds_of_Creation/

Decapitated-2000-04-17-Winds_of_Creation-05-Decapitated-The_Eye_of_Horus.flac

Be careful when copying and pasting this - a new line character might be added to the end.

Formatting rule: Puddletag file spaces to underscores + albumartist ifs:

$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")/$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")/$replace($validate($if(%albumartist%,%albumartist%,%artist%),,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")-%year%-$replace($validate(%album%,,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")-$num(%track%,2)$if(%albumartist%,-$replace($validate(%artist%,,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_"),)-$replace($validate(%title%,,’`'”-/\|;:*?!&\[]{}<>,.)," ","_")

Issues(?):

• double __?
• remove accidental trailing whitespace?
• paren brackets

Remember to:

• avoid blank years
• avoid blank album/artist names
• check if some album artists should be "Various Artists" or a performer/DJ/curator name
