Getting the first letter of an artist for CD Ripping
« on: March 24, 2006, 07:06:17 pm »

I have my music collection stored as:

\[first letter of artist name]\[artist]\[album]\...
example: \C\Coldplay\X&Y\ or \T\The Beatles\One\

Is there a way to have Media Center automatically store the files this way?  In other words, is there a way to get a substring of a field?  I figured out how to match this ([Artist]=[A"), but not how to specify it.

Thanks,
