Thanks wynlyndd that was the problem.

I'm trying to do some compilations I have. Lets take Spider-Man 2 as the album i'm working on. When I do this i'm getting it split up by each artist. Basically I want a folder Various Artists - Spider-Man 2 and inside that folder would be the track.

this is what one of the folders it creates looks like
Dashboard Confessional - Spider-Man 2

this is what the file looks like
01 - Vindicated

I would like it to look like this instead

this would be the album folder
Various Artists - Spider-Man 2

this would be the track info
01 - Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

Here is what my file and folder correct look like. I"m also using a base folder 0 if that makes a difference.

rename folder from metadata for compilation
Various Artists -%album%

rename files from metadata for compilation
%trackno% - %artist% - %title%

I'm starting to try to clean up all my music and wanted to know is there a particular order that certain manipulators should be in. Here is what mine look like at the moment.

wynlyndd you are a genius that will be the tip of the day for me. Thanks I'm off to take a screenshot of those areas

No problem Paul I'm still such a newbie with this swiss army tool product you created. My main thing I lost was my manipulators but the file and folder correct were easy to reproduce. Thanks for being such an active developer and also forum contributor.

Nice update my only problem was I had to start all over with my settings.

Right now the way i name compilations are for example Various Artists and in this case Nightmare Revisited and for the tracks its track number - artist - track name

Folder Name
Various Artists - Nightmare Revisited

Tracks
02 - Danny Elfman - Opening

How would i go about with naming to continue this method for compilations, soundtracks.

Has this option to disable the sound been implemented

I was hoping for it to show examples of what it was going to look like with the finished rename mask. This way you can see if you would have the results your after. For me the way i organize my music is Artist - Album as a folder and inside the folder track number - title. I keep trying to do this but I'm getting the rename from tags as a folder instead of it renaming the files from inside the folder.

Example for my rename from tags
%trackno% - %title%
#00 - Title

Example for my rename folder from tags
%artist% - %album%%folderseperator%%trackno% - %title%
Artist - Album\#00 - Title
