Multidisk

Hi, I’ve just started using SongKong and love it - it’s ripped through 5k odd tracks in a morning already!

I’m trying to sort out the naming of multidisc albums but am struggling with the syntax. Basically, I’d like both disks to sit in the same folder and have the disk number pre-pended (unpadded) to the track number. For example:

Disk 1:
Wu Tang\Wu Tang Forever\101-Wu Tang-Wu Tang Forever-BlahBlah.mp3
Wu Tang\Wu Tang Forever\102-Wu Tang-Wu Tang Forever-BlahBlah.mp3

Disk 2:
Wu Tang\Wu Tang Forever\201-Wu Tang-Wu Tang Forever-BlahBlah.mp3
Wu Tang\Wu Tang Forever\202-Wu Tang-Wu Tang Forever-BlahBlah.mp3

I tried this but it doesn’t work, I get ‘undefined’ error in the affected tracks:

ifnotempty2(albumartist,"Various Artists",'/')
+ ifnotempty(album,'/')
+ ifmultidisc(ifnotempty(discno))
+ ifnotempty(pad(track,2),'-')
+ ifnotempty(album,'-')
+ ifnotempty(artist,'-')
+ title

If you can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark the reason you are getting undefined is because ifnotempty takes two values, the value to output and a value to separate this field from the next field if not empty. Because you dont want anything to seperate the discno from the trackno simply adding an empty space parameter

• ifmultidisc(ifnotempty(discno,’’))

would fix the undefined value as follows

 ifnotempty2(albumartist,"Various Artists",'/')
 + ifnotempty(album,'/')
 + ifmultidisc(ifnotempty(discno,''))
 + ifnotempty(pad(track,2),'-')
 + ifnotempty(album,'-')
 + ifnotempty(artist,'-')
 + title
