I could not figure out the correct syntax for renaming my files.

I want to generate a filename that consists of [Disc #]-[Track #] [Name] if [Disc #] is not empty and [Track #] [Name] if [Disk #] is empty.

Tried several versions of

If(IsEmpty([Disc #]),[Disc #]-[Track #],[Track #]) [Name]

without success. Maybe somebody around here can help.

IsEmpty() doesn't work well in Renaming expressions.  You need to use IsEqual() and compare it to "unknown" and "8" parameter = substring search (case insensitive).

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Disc #],unknown,8),[Track #],[Disc #]-[Track #]) [Name]

[221bBS]

Try

Code: [Select]

If(IsEmpty([Disc #]),,[Disc #]-)[Track #] [Name]

Here's what I use:

Directories:
[Album Artist (auto)]\[Album]\

Filename:
If(IsEmpty([Disc #],1), [track #], CD[Disc #] - [track #]) - If(IsEqual([Album Type], Multiple Artists /(complete/), 1), [Artist] - [Name], [Name])


Some examples of the resulting filenames:

Single Artist, no disc number:
\The Cure\Japanese Whispers\06 - Speak My Language.mp3

Single Artist, disc number:
\Bob Marley & The Wailers\Burnin' (Deluxe Edition)\CD2 - 08 - Kinky Reggae.mp3

Multiple Artists, tagged Album Artist, no disc number:
\Tiësto\Elements Of Life\03 - Tiësto feat. Julie Thompson - Do You Feel Me.mp3

Multiple Artists, automatic Album Artist value, disc number:
\(Multiple Artists)\Champs-Élysées Café\CD2 - 04 - Chateau Flight feat. Beretta 9 - Down At The Rotisserie.mp3

-- The text string "CD" will be added if the "Disc #" field has a value.


Marko has posted a nice example of a comprehensive renaming rule here:
