Hello,
i want to share my script for rename/move Audio files using Musicbrainz Picard.
for information, an portable is available on portableapps.com, i use it for use it as portable and not lost my setting, because all settings are stored inside windows registry
the convention is :
for sorting by albumartist, if the tag is missing you need to add it before save files.
don't forget to remove album / track, if the file is alone or you want it
for the discnumber before title, the tag " %totaldiscs% must be present, only use the %discnumber% will break the convention.
Adapt the code to the Various Artists name from your setting :
$set(_variousartist,Various Artists)
if you see few error during renaming, you can includ for example : XXX1XXX before " %artist% -" for know what line is used for your files.
the code is not perfect, and maybe need few correction,
