How can i create a custom field so that one folder will be called lossy, one called lossless and one called surround?

[MrC]

The basics are the same, but the specifics depend a little on which view you want this in (Standard panes or categories, or Theater).

Provide a little more detail where you want the customization.

Haha. First link was another topic started by me. Ye i'd like to use the field in the panes. I have my music split into lossy and lossless but now i have music in 5.1 which i'd like to be separated. The lossy and lossless categories are split according to file type so i thought i'd sort my music according to the folders they are in (my music is already put into separate folders on the hard drive).

[MrC]

That is funny - I hadn't looked at the author.

Some people say "Folders" when in MC they mean the groupings such as Albums, or Artist.

If your encoding are actually stored in the folder or file names, those can be pulled out.  Can you share examples of the full filename showing each?

[steviewonders]

I think they're just sorted in their folders on the hard drive. The first picture shows the folder view from media centre. The second picture shows how i'm aiming to set up the custom field but with the addition of 'surround'.

[MrC]

Try this:

   regex([Filename (path)], /#E:\\Users\\Steve\\Music\\([^\\]+)\\#/, 1)

Edit: fixed missing backslash.

[steviewonders]

Doesn't seem to work. Everything is categorised under 'unassigned'.

[MrC]

Sorry, I missed a backslash when I changed from my paths to yours (during testing).  Fixed above.

Ah ha!! That's perfect. Thank you very much!!
