Jaikoz and SongKong Forums

Probably a once more repeated question, but it seems I can't fid the right answer in a sound way.

It?s clear to me that the following tags are the minimum required for a good ID-ing of songs when playing them thru iTunes

- Artist
- Sort Artist
- Album
- Title
- Genre
- Track
- Track Total
- Artwork
- Year
- Disk N°
- Disc Total
- Compilation

But how/when to best use:
- Sort Album
- Album Artist
- Sort Album Artist
- Grouping

Any examples and/or suggestions are welcome.

Hi Paul, thanks for your swift reply.
I'll go with your code and thanks for implementing this Various Artist vs. 'Best of' album.
I don't know what the best mask is regarding file naming single artist albums vs compilation albums. I'm actually fine with allbumArtist - Track# for single Artist albums and Track# - Artist for compilations.
Again, thanks for pointing me out the right direction.
Regards,

Gino

Hi.

I'm at this stage not familiar with writing those scripts.

This what I like to achieve - can someone help?

* Single Album Artist - Single Disc Album

Folder Name: Album Artist - Album Title [year]
Sample: Shakira - She Wolf [2009]

File name: ALbum Artist - Track# - Song Title
Sample: Shakira - 01 - Long Time

* Single Album Artist - Multiple Disc Album

Folder Name: Album Artist - Album Title [year] - CD#
Sample: Shakira - She Wolf [2009] - CD1

File name: same as Single Disc Album

* Various Artist (Compilation) - Single Disc Album

Folder Name: VA - Album Title [year]
Sample: VA - Crescent City Bounce, From Blues to R&B in New Orleans [2007]

File Name: Track# - Artist - Song Title
Sample: 01 - Earl Johnson - Have You Gone Crazy

* Various Artist(Compilation) - Multiple Disc Album

Folder Name: VA - Album Title [year] - CD#
Sample: VA - Crescent City Bounce, From Blues to R&B in New Orleans [2007] - CD1

File Name: Same as Single Disc Album

Your support is much appreciated!
